Im looking for thoughts on foul weather quivers, spring is slowly arriving and I can see some soggy hunts in my future. Ive used the sprays and powders but am looking for a bit more protection than that.
Any thoughts?

bow , hip, back, what are you looking for?
Craig, I currently use a Hill style back quiver, but am not limited to a back style quiver. For myself, bow quivers are not an option, as they seem to change the natural balance of a bow, JMO. Im leaving my options open till I see what others are using and what they prefer.
Safarai tuff arrow master
Cat quivers
Paul, I don't hunt in the rain unless its vary light, in which case I use a fletch cover on my back quiver. If I do hunt in wet conditions, I hunt from a covered ground blind. I started building some more this spring that are roofed and large enough for shooting a longbow from. Fun to build and I'm completely concealed from the eye of the Turkey.......and the eye of the storm.

Safari Tuff Arrowmaster
Catquiver in my opinion.. it keeps fletching covered real good!!
Has anyone tried the safari tuff arrowmaster with a fanny pack or a daypack????
Safari-Tuff Arrowmaster--you can even get a cover for the opening in case of snow, etc.
It works well alone or even with a full pack--super versatile, and you won't get better protection for your arrows.
Rock, I have.
I didn't like it at first (read it right,I LOVE the quiver), I had some issues to overcome with fit and placement due to the daypack. Not as much with the fanny pack.
However, with just a few tweaks and twist ties or similar (lil carabiners,other ties) I found that it still works very well.
One big change was shorten the strap and NOT have it over my neck, but on the shoulder. That is where the ties come in. I tied into the daypack straps to keep it from sliding. Don't give up without a fight.

Sorry moleman,as usual I wasn't thinking. :banghead: I think l should have started a new post,didn't mean to steal this one.
No problem Rock, Im getting a lot of good info here, and thats what its all about.
I use my safari tuff with a large day pack. It keeps it right behind the shoulder. Works really nice.
Safari Tuff. I cut a piece of fleece and pin it over the hole for cover in heavy rain. I use it when hunting in standing corn which usually means wet, windy weather. I think they make a cover for it now.
Safari Tuff works great!
X2 on what zmonster posted. I can't wait to try my bow mate elite quiver this spring. :thumbsup:
Catquiver.
I like the Safari Tuff also. I use a day pack and just tie it to the pack. I can still get to the arrows and they are protected. I have even put my bow and my arrows in it and tied it on my motorcycle. Gary
Catquiver III 1/2. Cant go wrong :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

With a day pack there is no problem. With a fanny pack set up a catquiver (basic with no pouches) works better strapped across the top.
I often use a Catquiver, but for hunts out of state where I must fly to get there, I just use a Zip Lock bag over the fletches of my bow quiver.

Safari Tuff Arrowmaster for me.

X2. Love mine. God bless.
I have used a bow mounted quiver or a hip quiver with ziplock baggies and the waterproof fletch powder stuff. That was while shooting off the shelf.
But know that I have an elevated rest and shoot 3 under I use a quickie quiver and vanes. I love the vanes, one less thing to worry about.
Had my old Safari Tuff out in some wicked down pours, and with the rain cap on everything was always dry. Great quiver, really outstanding product, just didn't fit my style of hunting.
When I moved to bow mounted quivers, I started keeping a vane'd arrow in the mix, but I also do the ziploc bag thing.
Someone, somewhere made a really cool waterproof fleece "bag" for lack of better terms that used a shock cord to hook it up to the bottom quiver mount and could cinch down to cover the feathers, but you could still pull them out with no problems.
Really slick setup, can't recall where I saw it on here, but would definitely like to see it again.
