Does anyone have a good how to or know of a site with pics on how to make a coyote back quiver? I have a case skinned pelt and wanted to make a back quiver. Thanks Steve
I bought an inexpensive leather back quiver and sewed my Yote hide to it!! Even has the zippered pouch and knife sheath, just dont get yer hair caught in the zipper!!!
I made this one a few years ago for a friend using a build along on the PA "How To" section. I used the coyote face as the flap for the removable possibles bag.

I put the seam on the bottom of the quiver so I added the red garment leather to cover the seam and protect the stitching from broadheads.
Man Pat, that is one sweet looking quiver. :notworthy:
That is an awesome looking quiver.Iv made a few also but not as nice as that one.i had a leather back quiver and took a tanned coon that id trapped and used it to line the mouth of the quiver with the tail hanging down the back.think i used fabric glue for most of it with just a little stitching.recently made a quiver for my boy out of a section of pvc wrapped with leather using fabric glue.this time i lined the mouth of the quiver with fox with the tail hanging down the back and braided three strips of leather into a back strap which i stitched on with artificial sinew.turned out very nice.he's only 3,but thinks he's something with his quiver and his little 9 lb longbow.now im working on one for my daughter.same style as my sons but using tanned skunk fur instead.might not be the style your looking for,just how iv done it,Ross
I made one for ST Judes last year. I will help in any way I can if you want. I have several. Mine are not as much of lookers as Pat's though man that's nice.
Thanks guys. I had never worked with hair on hides so I needed some help too. That's when I found the build along on PA.
A few tips though..do all your cutting from the inside of the hide with a sharp razor. Less hair loss that way.
The one I studied was made like a true Lakota style quiver with the decorative flaps and matching bow case. It was made up side down with the belly area up and the tail forward. I wanted this one facing the way the coyote would be facing, belly down(That is why the seam is on the bottom)and tail hanging off the back like a real coyote.

Here's a plains-style side quiver I recently finished.
A back quiver isn't much different... at the basic level quivers are just a tube with a strap.
You'll want to line the pelt with something for duarability. That's really the only tricky part. For a back quiver you can use something with a little more body it to hold it's shape a bit better.
If I can help in any way just give a yell.
nice looking Quivers guys :thumbsup:
Simply amazing.
Very nice.

My computer is a mess right now and I cant upload any photos, but here is a fox I just did for a guy in BC. I have pics of just about every North American species to give you ideas if I can get this damn pc straightened out. How small is the coyote? If big you can reverse the head and have a large Hill style style or if smaller you can do one like the fox. If I can get things fixed here I'll do a build along soon. My hand is broken so I'm kinda limited, but still have a lot of pelts here to turn into back quivers.

Here is the one I made last summer
Ferret, don't be crawling around on the ground with that coyote on your back. Predator hunters can shoot a long way! d;^)
Beautiful fox, David.
Nice Plains style quiver, Jeremy.
Working with hair on hides can get testy when you are hand stitching and my nose itched the whole time I worked on mine.

Going to make another for a buddy will take pictures of it being made. Real simple.
Nice quivers fellas!
I second that!
