So, I'm planning my first spot and stalk mule deer hunt for this fall. Got the weapon about ready, got a few more months to spend on spotting, practicing, fine-tuning plans... But I don't have the quiver figured out.

Eventually, I plan to build a plains-style hip quiver for myself, but this year, I don't have $100 or more to spend on materials (and I may not have time to work on it).

What can you recommend as the most budget-friendly option that'd still be effective for this type of hunt? It doesn't have to be primitive...

Find a cheap one piece bow quiver.  Attach a shoulder strap to the quiver hood and to the arrow holder.  Make the strap a length that fits comfortably over your shoulder and is in a position on your hip/side to easily remove an arrow with your draw hand.  This type of quiver allows you to 1. have an arrow readily available 2. remove the quiver when needed and 3. pull it on to your back when crawling through the sage brush and cactus after a mule deer without being in your way while doing so.  It holds arrows securely while spot and stalk hunting.  A homemade version of such has been my every day hunting quiver for over 25 years.  Easy on and off.  Easy to adapt to all hunting methods.  Hope that helps.

Ippus:
You mean, just like google "one piece bow quiver"?
Something like this?

jimmi the sammi:
Yes, just like that or anything similar.  Many times you can find a used one that someone is getting rid of but that's what you are looking for.  Attach the shoulder strap and you are ready to go.

Sweet. Thanks!  (SH) :-D
