I've been wondering about hunting turkey using a back quiver.I guess the safe way to do it would be to have some kind of fletching cover for your arrows,so nobody could mistake the colorful array of feathers for a turkey.How do you guys do it?Share your tips.

Thanks,

Ken

I don't turkey hunt, but I wouldn't want to use natural turkey feather fletch.   :biglaugh:

I don't use one, but if I did, I'd keep a cover over the fletching, when walking around. You won't need to wear it when you're actually hunting, though. If you miss, a turkey isn't going to stand around while you make a whole lot of movement pulling another arrow out of a back quiver.

Yeah,my concern would be when you are moving,from one setup to another or going in or coming out.Once at your setup it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks,

I just made up a set of subdued "camo" arrows for spring gobbler.  Used "pistachio" Krylon and used the ghillie gun wrap from my suit to use on my Hill backquiver.

I used a backquiver with a Kathy Kelly fletch cover for a few years. At the time, my arrows were crown dipped sky blue with Chart feathers and I was using single blade heads.

Now that I'm using 3 blade 160 gr Snuffers, arrows are safely held in my Catquiver. here is the Cover used with the GN Bow quiver. It has a stretch cord to adjust and tighten.All feathers will be covered.



A better pic of the cover...when the stretch cord is pulled tight and tied off, all feathers will be covered and the stretch cord allows for easy arrow removal.
