Specifically, how many arrows so you like to carry for big game, especially if you use a bow quiver? I have a great northern strap on quiver that holds 5 arrows and don't have any real complaints, but have been considering dropping down to a lighter three arrow quiver or even something like a two arrow EFA mesa with a piggybacker for my judo. I don't live in an area where I'm going to be shooting multiple big game animals in a day so if i cant get it done with 2-3 broadheads I should probably just go home! So are you a minimalist or ready for another battle at Agincourt?

I have the great northern 5 arrow quiver as well.. and I feel the same way you do.. I don't have any complaints at the moment but I could also be ok with a 3 arrow quiver I think

I almost always use a backquiver and I load it up. I may only have 5 or so broadhead arrows in it, but almost always have 10 arrows total. When i leave the house to hunt, I just go to hunt. Might start out as a deer hunt, and depending on action/luck/patience, it may end up a squirrel, rabbit, frog, bird, stump hunt.

I ran out of arrows while hunting once with a bow quiver. 

I ran out ONCE.

Won't happen again! 

At least 5.  I like small game, so I always carry a small game head or a blunt.  Depending on when I'm out hunting, I also may feel like shooting a stump before gets out of a tree or on my way out.

I carry 5 on my bow and a bunch of stump shooting and small game arrows in a side quiver I am always shooting at something.

Three broad heads. 

Five arrows for me, usually three broadheads and two blunts.  Sometimes four and one. 

I don't have anything set in stone.....  It all depends on where I'm going and what I'm  Hunting.

Minimum of 4 Broadheads and a judo... Max 6 broadheads.

When hunting in Texas for hogs and javi I carry 6 broadheads in my bow quiver..... And another 6 and I back quiver.  Once I see the big game I can drop the back quiver.

I mostly use a Great Northern oe EFA and I take 3 arrows with big broadheads.
I usually hunt for a certain animal so or that or nothing.

In my GN I usually use 3 as the big snuffers take up so much room in the small hood. Yes I can twist them just right and make them fit but hate banging and grinding the blades together.

4 usually, 3 BH and a judo.
Only once have i used all 3 arrows , at the same buck mind you and no I never hit him.

My quiver is full when I hunt.  4 or 6 arrows depending.  That said if I'm deer hunting a couple will be set up for pigs and one for small game in Texas.  In Missouri 4 for deer and two for small game.

4 broadheads and a judo. On an afternoon hunt I usually shoot a couple judos walking in and on morning hunt I shoot a couple judos on the way out.

I am in his crew even though I have not hunted yet.

I did not have time earlier.... And not much now....

I carry more arrows hog Hunting.... For a reason.... Which has played out more than once..... Acquiring multiple kills.... M follow UPS to other people's  Kills.

I don't go to battle with minimal Ammunition.

 When hunting big game, I usually carry 3 broadheads, a blunt, and a judo.

For where and for what I hunt now, that has proven to be enough for the day... unless I happen upon a flock of grouse on the way back to camp, lol!

I use the 3 arrow Selway with 2 broadheads and 1 blunt (hexhead) but I also have wrap protected additional 2 blade head in my pack which can replace the blunt (carbon arrows) if needed. Never needed to do it and can only remember 2x in my life having opportunity for 2 shots at big game.

In my 64 years of hunting big game with a bow, 5 arrows is the perfect number IMO. I like to carry a judo or blunt for stump shooting or small game and if you can't kill something with 4 broadheads you'd better go home and practice.

This is my new Shrew Scout side quiver for those who like a quiver free bow.

three to five broadheads with one broad head on the bow in a stalker the rest in a side quiver.  Some stumpers and small gamers in the side quiver if the time and place is right.

Deer/elk: 3 Broadheads and a blunt on the bow. Back quiver in the truck.

Pigs/bear: 4 Broadheads on bow and back quiver with me for extras for reloads or other game animals
