I am looking for info/advice or personal experience on quiver choices for my elk hunt. I normally use a backquiver for my hunting but I am going to be using a daypack out west and was wondering what some of you use when carrying a backpack. I want something that will protect my feathers and carry my arrows quietly while running around in the mountains. Any suggestions and experiences. I have been looking at the Tim-o-lite from 3RVRS.

Yea, if you look at the picture of Denny on the first page of Terry's second link you will see the arrowmaster quiver in use with a pack. I'm thinking that this is about as good as it gets when wanting to put arrows on your back, with or without a pack, without the arrows sticking up past one's shoulders.
If the quiver could be held firm in that position it should work well most of the time. I am thinking a strap system that goes over the shoulder and around the waist might be in order there.
Cat quivers are the best i have used. they are no longer made because of a factory fire.But there are some for sale in the (for sale quiver sec.) they have the backpack on them .keep your fletchings dry and are silent to use.
I like Selway bow quivers.
I am trying a GFA style quiver this season after many years of using a bow quiver.
I walked/slipped/fell over 40 miles chasing bears with dogs in North Carolina. I used my Catquiver III with nothing but positive results.
Quiet and secure, plus roomy enough to haul enough "stuff" for a long day. I was most impressed when I had to get on all fours to get out of a laural thicket. If you don't think brush will be an issue I also used my GFA stalking black bears in BC Canada and was pleased with it.

I like my cat quiver for hunting as well.
the GFA style with a single broadhead bowquiver set up works well, too.
