In 51 years of bowhunting there was only one time I needed more than 3 broadheads. That was in 1962 when it took 5 shots and 4 hits to kill a deer. I'm a better shot today    :D   so I only carry 4 arrows, 3 broadheads and a Hex Head, either on the bow or a side Stalker quiver.  http://www.shrewbows.com/

I'm the same as Ron 3 broadheads and 1 hex head.
When I hunt from the tree I carry the bow quiver and then take it off in the tree.  HUnting froim the ground I carry a side quiver.

OK You drop one getting set up out of the treestand

You miss the deer and it stays around

You hit it the second shot but it runs away and later you trail it and it is bedded down and needs a put away shot...

that is four.
But if you climb down and retrieve the one that dropped and the one that missed you could get away with a minimum of 3 arrows.

3 or 4 broadheads, and 1 or 2 flu flus in a modified back quiver (I added a rail at the top and foam in the bottom so they don't clank around).

Depends.  Right now deer aren't open yet but squirrels and groundhogs, etc. are so I'm carrying two broadheads and four ace hex heads.   As soon as deer season starts here, that ratio will flip for me.

MW... hey dude! Might want to reconsider on that pocket quiver!!!!! Those things aren't made for broadheads and could be a nasty accident waiting to happen.

Please think about that for a while and make another choice.

I carry four broadheaded arrows and one judo or hex blunt. I shot tapered cedar shafts, but the judo and hexblunts are parallel ash shafts. They are a little tougher when shooting at stumps and small game.

I carry five in an old green Bear quiver on my TD-one of them is usually a judo. I carry four in Bear leathertops on my Super K and Saxon Kadiak-all broadheads then.            Grant

I carry two for deer, two for turkeys, and at least one small game/blunt/  The small game one has been used to scare a skunk off before he entered my ground blind, to scare the bejesus out of chattering red squirrels, and even on occasion, to take a shot at a rabbit or squirrel.  When the seasons overlap, you've got to be ready for anything!
