Which quiver for backpack hunting in dense bush?

[Elgjeger]

I'm new to bowhunting, and would really appreciate som advice.

I just bought a Toelke Whip, and need a quiver.
Thought of the great northern bow quiver, but After shooting the bow, I like to keep it light and balanced.

I do not want a back-quiver, but rather on that easily unslings, and can be turned under the arm etc.
I will be hunting in realtively dense bush, and with a backpack for 2-3days out. Backpackhunting sort of thing into the backcountry of New Zealand.

As I will be in remote areas, I want a safe way of storing the broadheads, so I won't cut myself, het keep them handy.

Have had a look at the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster Duiker model with storm cover.

I'd be perfectly happy with non-leather, as it does not have to look very Trad.
However - it has to bes quiet as a quiver can get!

Are there any other options?

I see you're new to bow hunting, I think you should revisit the bow quiver idea, they really are a safe and convenient way to carry arrows.  Picture this: you're in thick bush and you need to work your bow through some thick stuff, well when that's done your arrows simply follow your bow.  Any other quiver,  side quiver, back quiver etc. you need to worry about THAT too.

Happy hunting

You are talking about the asbell quiver and you don't even know it. Check them out.

The bow quiver is your huckleberry, but if you really don't want the extra weight on your bow, the Asbell quiver or either the Safari Tuff or Raptor side quiver is the next best bet.  I hunted in thick brush on the Oregon coast for multiple seasons and used both the bow and Raptor side quiver to good effect.  My personal choice these days is the bow quiver, a Thunderhorn strap on.

For what you are talking about.....Cat Quiver, many models to choose from!

I really like my my Bowmate Elite.

Selway hip quiver works for me.

I take my Safari tuff and strap it to my back pack, this way it is still functional and easy to take off the pack if I need to.

A Simmons tube if ya can Locate one.

[Charlie Lamb]

Asbell or similar. I use shock cord for the strap instead of a "static" strap and find it very handy and adjustable. Also very light and fairly high capacity... by using "piggy backer" you can up your arrow count to a dozen easily.

Can't go wrong with a GN quiver, well made and really light weight on your bow.  If you want a back quiver check out the Asbell, very versitile and light weight also, I don't think you'll go wrong with either.

I made this one early this summer.
Probably cost me around $15-20 in parts
Copied it from a post on this site from earlier this year
(Not much of an original thinker, but descent copier)

Thunderhorn side quiver is my favorite for ground hunting. Widow

[Elgjeger]

thank you all for the feedback!

That Simmons tube looks mighty attractive - will have to look into that one!!
Looks like it will keep my fletching dry and in good shape.
5 arrow capacity is also plenty.

Go with your first thoughts--the Safari Tuff.  Super adjustable, super adaptable.  The best I've every used, period.  Wish I had all the money I've spent on different quivers over the years...I could afford a few new bows if I did.  My search ended when I found the Safari Tuff.

I cannot stand the thought of another darn strap around my neck when elk hunting. Bino harness and pack straps are enough.

That leaves two options for me:
--bow quiver (I like the EFA with totem)
--Quiver caddy by Mark Baker + Kwikee
The Absorkee quiver by Tim Robert is a leather covered kwikee attached to one of the Quiver Caddys. Very versatile and easily rides on any pack waist belt.

 I don't have Tim's model but I do have the caddy with a three arrow kwikee.

This is the Emigrant Quiver, this one is designed to hold five broadheads, and has a designated outside pocket and holder for a judo or blunt.
Thanks,

I am with you on the bow quiver.  Like them okay on a heavy  bow, but not so much on a light one.  I use a Safari Tuff.

i love and have been using a Lakota style quiver since 1991....it is made from heavy latigo leather rather than the soft commonly found leathers...does not need stiffening rod.  Has shearling around collar that can be left full length (heavy brush or bad weather) and cover all but the very ends of your arrows.....or folded down to expose full fletching for roves, target shots or sitting in blind or tree stand.
Slides around under arm for heavy brush...then back around to lower back or hip for normal times.  I love it...

Here it is with and without collar folded..
   

     
Also have back quiver and GN bow quiver but the Lakota is the one I go back to over and over.  Only downfall...cant use three bladed heads (2 blade only)...and holds about 4-5 with broadheads and 6-8 without...but always keep arrows in camp or around house if I need more.
