How Many Bolts
How many Bolts do you folks take with you for a hunt and does the amount change with the game you're after?

Re: How Many Bolts
I take 4 for deer hunting in the quiver, but have a box in the truck with about a dozen.

Re: How Many Bolts
I only bring enough bolts, all depends on how many nuts I am looking for.

Re: How Many Bolts
6 better to have it and not need it than to need itand not have it as they say. Arrows don't weight much.

Re: How Many Bolts
I try to carry 5 if I'm stalking the timber..one in the bow and the quiver loaded. I carry 4 broadheads and 1 roving point. This year it was SlickTricks and a RipTrick for the rover.
Seems that when things go bad...they usually go REAL bad!..
Shot 3 broadheads and went and gathered 2 of them up (lost one) and then shot all 4 remaining arrows into him again including the RipTrick
But I got him!
I guided hunters for too long to not carry enough ammo...the very LAME saying of " If I can't get it done in "x" then an extra 20 won't help" is BS!! Keep shooting!

Re: How Many Bolts
I carry 3 in my quiver with BH's and one target tip in case of a wolf or coyote wandering through. With a target tip it passes through when you gut shoot them and they travel far enough before dying that nobody can figure out the area in which it was shot. Coyotes I will take a head or shoulder shot.
