I often walk with an arrow tipped with a Judo point. I can flick sticks out of the way, or "thin-out" a thick layer of dry fluffy leaves where I need to place my foot.
It's not always about being quiet, it about making the CORRECT kind of noise. Judo arrow helps me keep an established access trail "groomed". Each time I use it it's quieter than the previous time. Obviously done during the final approach.
Just to be clear, I'm not walking with the arrow nocked on the string, I just have it in hand for using it as a rake.
Also use it sometimes to help my balance which helps a lot for maintaining a controlled walk and foot placement.
For guys that don't carry judos, I would carry a sturdy, forked stick, probably 30-40 inches long. I think a section of fishing rod blank would work well for this purpose. Choose a diameter that would fit in your quiver's arrow gripper and rig some sort of "Y" on the tip to act as a "rake".
