I have the arrow master or similar back quiver that protects my arrows while pushing through brush.  But does anyone have a back quiver they'd recommend. Just for carrying the sheer number of arrows while stumping or in open terrain?  I like rustic looking or older leather looking type.   I have thought of making a cat quiver type using seal skin pelt.  I also like the idea of the harness/straps that go around the torso in addition to the shoulder strap

I didn't mean a cat quiver.   A quiver I can either pull through the side or up from the top.  Or just up through the top and can hold a few.

I think there are a couple guys on the forum here who make quivers. I recently got one from soap creek and I'm really happy with it.

How much is a mid to higher end back quiver?  It would be convenient for stumping.  I don't have a bow quiver, there's just too much brush here.  However, for partridge hunting they'd be alright.

Get a good Hill style quiver.  Pay a little more as one good quiver should last several lifetimes.  Also don't discount them for hunting in thick cover.  Contrary to popular belief it can be done successfully if you want it to.  It is all I use and I live and hunt in the Maryland thickets.  Shot 5 deer from the ground this past season with a BQ.

There are several good choices but my main advice would be to buy a "Hill style" from someone who hunts with them themselves.

here is some good reading about their use and break in also:  https://traditionalknowhow.blogspot.com/2014/03/hunting-with-back-quiver.html

It can be thick here.  Any particular one you'd recommend.

I prefer ones made by Nate Steen (Sunset Hill).  Also Howard Hill Archery makes decent ones though I prefer their stiffer leather ones and breaking them in properly.

How do you break them in?

You didn't read the article I linked above?

Here:

Once you get yourself a quality quiver it will need to be broken in.  The quiver should eventually conform to your back, the tube collapsing on itself.  This holds the arrows still and securely.  Several products can be used to help this conditioning.  Montana Pitch Blend, mink oil, or even canola or olive oil can be used to soften and condition the leather.  During the summer months put the quiver out on your deck or atop your car and let it heat up really well.  It will readily take the oil or treatment in this way.  It is also a good idea to retreat the quiver thoroughly once a year to help prevent dry rot and preserve the life of the device.  On a new quiver I will fold the top down to meet the bottom and sit on it as I commute to work back and forth every day, some folks put it under their couch cushions but I try to stay away from the couch.  Fold, bend, and re-treat until the quiver readily collapses flat under its own weight around your back.   

Vroomvroom

Yes. I read it.  Just don't know if you had your own way of doing it

What Two4Hooking said, I use to use a back quiver and loved it.  The article is very well done and lot of information in there.  You do not want the "chest strap", as this takes away from the utilitarian use of the quiver through thick brush.

Vroomvroom

You use to? 

I can't seem to pull up the quiver site.    I think the one I have is called arrow master.  It's a pipe basically, side is cut out
