This pole is to see what type of quiver you like while hunting . We will assume this is big game from a stand .

not sure what you mean by shoulder strap or hip quiver unless talking about the G Fred style or a true hip style familiar to target archers.

my favorite quiver was not listed.  A side quiver...commonly in form of what is called a Lakota quiver.  I have back quiver, GN Bow quiver and year after year go to the side quiver more than anything.  My only complaint is I can only use 2 blade heads so during turkey season or other times I want a 3 blade I have to put a GN on my bows.  Love the quivers but prefer a naked bow.  So I have one on order from Steve Catts that will let me use 3 bladed heads without issue.

My vote is Side Quiver...

I have not hunted from a tree for a long while.  On the ground on the move i like my Selway quiver.

I voted bow mounted quiver because for me it is the most convenient.

I like my Lakota type. easy to get out of the way and easy to hide it behind me. And the other day used it to decoy a coyote in.

Bow mounted, easiest thing I've found to use when hunting from a climber; if I only ground hunted I'd probably look into a back quiver.

I prefer a bow quiver for ease of access, as well as the added weight for stability.

I like a Great Northern kickback for longbows, and Thunderhorns for recurves.

Great northern sidekick (shoulder strap) for me!

I like the convenience of a bow quiver.  For stumping and the occasional small game hunt I throw on a back quiver but the rest of the time is all bow quiver for me.

I like a back quiver. I hunt from the ground almost exclusively now, but I used them when I hunted a lot from tree stands too.

To be honest, I started using them when I was younger because I liked the way they looked, and my heros used them. I've tried other styles over the years, but I haven't found anything I like as well.

In thick brush I let it slide down along my side some, so my arrows are pointing more to the rear, and it slides right through with no hang ups.

I've used a Vista back quiver for the past 21 years. It has a good sized zippered pocket on the back that carries a lot of stuff that would  end up in my pockets otherwise.

I am surprised by how this is turning out .
I would not have guessed that a mounted on the bow would be that popular .
I am very surprised at how low the back quiver did .
I personally like the GFA because of how I can keep it under my arm and very simply slide it to my back in thick brush .
I have been thinking of using a Selway slid on because I got one as a gift .
Thanks for your votes and input .

I haven't used a bow mounted quiver since the 60's when the Kwikee Kwiver had uncovered broad heads. Yes, I stabbed myself in the leg with it. It gave me a bad taste that I never got over. Since taking up the longbow, I have preferred the back quiver. I take it off while on the stand, using it more as a freight hauler than anything else.

Nothing beats a good, quality back quiver.

Bow mounted.  I take it off once in tree and hold it on stand using a wire tied binder clip deal.  May take along side quiver w skirrel arrows also this year.

I have a Palmer side/back quiver with a top cap and side access that I like a lot.  I own several others in both bow and back versions, but I like this one the best.
