Which is why I recommend soomething that you can tuck close to your body. When you duck down in that stuff ,or push your way through , anything sticking up (back quiver) grabs and stops you .If the  back quiver is low enough not to do that , you won't be able to reach back and grab an arrow.(espescially with heavier clothes on) Do you bunny hunt in the winter? Snow shoes or cottontails? Those little balsams are good for dumping snow in the top of a  back quiver as well . They(balsam) do smell nice when you wrestle your way through though,and help to fend off the bitter wind.

Slackbunny:
Good point. As much as I like the look of the back quivers they might not be the answer for my woods.

 I think I now have a clear idea of what I want which is exactly why I started this thread. I think I'm settled on some sort of plains sling quiver.

Make your own! Try a prototype,then refine it to suit your exact situation. WoodbenderDW came over a few weeks ago with a real nice one he made for himself.No prior experience with leather or stitching and he did a great job!Your first won't be your last. It's like the bows.There's always something you would do different on the next ;)

Tarponnut:
A lot of my clients use the GFA quiver or something homemade of that style. I tried a bow quiver on my Gill selfbow for awhile, that didn't work well. I've since gone to a back quiver but I'm thinking about modifying an old Bear bow quiver into a GFA style.
They hold the arrows very securely.

Slackbunny. I am an aged and gauged bowhunter/shooter and I have literally bought and sold every conceivable arrow carrying device out there. When it all tallies up from my experience, I use a side quiver ( like tournament archers) for fun  3D shoots, plinking, etc. when I am mostly on trails and not in any danger of bushwacking. However, when hunting I gravitate to the Catquiver or centre back. I usually stick to a model 11 or 111 to carry the bare essentials as well for a day of hunting, however, remember when I said the words "bought and sold", well, Yep, I have sold one or two of these guys as well trying out some other new method. For me I still stick to the Catquiver which will carry a couple of arrows with judos, some broadhead arrows and a couple of flu-flu fletched blunt tipped arrows just for fun. I would love to use the back quiver, however, for me, it just didn't work out - too hot, too heavy and noisy and hung up on everything and arrows fell out when I bent over.
