When I'm hunting deer and turkeys, I usually carry four arrows. When I'm hunting small game I carry a few more.

This thread reminds me of a day deer hunting about 30 years ago. I left the house in the morning with 8 arrows, and came home that night with a bad attitude and an empty quiver.

I shot a whole bunch of arrows at four different bucks that day and never cut a hair. I couldn't do anything right to save my life. I'd killed a few deer before that too.  :dunno:

I carry 4 arrows, usually in a bow quiver that I take off the bow and hang in a tree.

I have 3 broad heads and one field point. When on an extended hunt (out of state) I still carry just 4 arrows but I will have 2-4 spare, ready to use, spare broad heads in my pack.  I can retrieve an arrow and change out the broached if the arrow is still sound. I've never had to do this though.

For hunting: 3 - 4 broadheads and two blunts for practice shots out of my stand once I'm settled in.

For 3D shoots:  I pack my back or side quiver full so that when I get off the course it still looks like I have a quiver full of arrows.

I have a 7-arrow bow quiver, so carry....

4 broadhead
1 blunt/stumper
1 flu-flu with a blunt
1 judo kondor for stumping in the thicker stuff.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Have heard that a Judo point can/will penetrate the hide so don't want that to happen. Just want to give the offender something to think about before showing up in that area again.
I would rethink that logic, sir.  Particularly when posting on a public forum.  You can easily kill a bear with a blunt from internal bleeding.  It has happened to cattle in the past.  Move away from the feeders and you should have less encounters with the bears.
