I've got a bunch of quivers that I've accumulated over the years. I've pretty much always used a bow quiver for hunting. However, I have used a back quiver from time to time...
I have 2 Side Stalker quivers, 1 which I believe is an original? I have used them a few times for 3D and stumping, and I like them!! I've just never hunted with one... Just wondering how many folks out there use them for hunting, and maybe share why you like them?
I don't know specifically about Side Stalker quivers, but I have used Safari Tuff side quivers for years.
I had full sized one, but I sold it and bought a Duiker. I don't think they make the Duiker anymore. It limits the amount of arrows you can carry somewhat, but I think it is big enough most of the time.
I like three things about it.
First, I don't really like a quiver hanging off my bow, but I do use a bow quiver on occasion.
Secondly, I like that colorful fletching is hidden.
Thirdly, it keeps my arrows dry. I don't generally hunt in heavy rain, but it happens sometimes. One year while backpacking in Colorado it seemed like every afternoon you could expect a rain shower to come through. It didn't last very long, but it was enough to get wet in it.
I hunt with a bow quiver but I always have my side quiver full of judos and blunts and I have four side quiver one is the Jack Bowers Wilderness side stalker quiver and one of the first Arrow master in spring green from Mr. Terry Green. I have one of Ted Frey deluxe side quiver and one made for me by Skip Polak aka Roadkill got one of the Colman side quivers too. I will be getting another Jack Bower Wilderness side stalker quiver here soon there my favorite,
I still hunt with mine a lot .
They , along with a SafariTuff, are my fave quivers to hunt with.
As a habitual stumper and rover I get to carry extra arrows , can wear a back pack and also keep my feathers dry as needed ..
I use a side stalker for roving and range shooting, but prefer a bow quiver for hunting.
Yep, I made that stalker quiver. No plans, just a rough idea and cut and stitched up the leather.
I use a side stalker type quiver for target and 3D. I make mine with a tapered wood plug for the end with the foam attached. I insert it from inside and can remove it to replace the foam.

For hunting I prefer the GFA style quiver. I made this one from my old Selway bow quiver. I also have one made from a Kwiki Kwiver and have a quick connector mounter on my tree stand.

Nice quivers Pat B
I am not a bow quiver fan so the side stalker fits me . I made my own from the plans available on this site years ago now. Had my wife make a cover to keep the fletch dry in case it rained. I made the "cup" part deeper so I could put a chunk of foam in there so I can keep broadheads not only separate but almost covered.
This is my favorite
This is Ted Frey's stalker quiver
