No I've yet to get a deer this year, but got another Ruffed Grouse just the other day.
A shot presented itself and I watched through my scope as my SlickTrick tipped GoldTip Laser II bolt nearly decapitated and toppled a grouse 32 yards.
That makes a total of three grouse that I've gotten with my Excalibur crossbows over the years. I've yet to miss when shooting at a grouse at 15, 20, and 32 yards respectively, yet I've missed a turkey at only 17 yards, go figure.

Since my Exomag is a tack-driver, and I'm an expert shot I hit it in the spine just behind it's neck. Just kidding about being an expert shot, not about hitting behind the neck. Even though I was aiming for the neck, you know what they say, it's better to be lucky than good.ecoaster wrote:Slick Tricks and carbons on grouse???? Is there anything left ????
Expensive bird if you hit something hard on the other side.
Other than an almost severed neck, the bird had no other damage, I cooked the deboned breasts on the barbie, and they were finger-licking good. The thighs, although a bit drier, were also tasty.
Since I was shooting from a treestand, the bolt was just behind the bird in soft "grassy" earth. Other than a bit of mud, the bolt and broadhead were no worse for wear. A quick wash and rinse, and sharpening and it was just as good as new.Hi5 wrote:How long did you look for your arrow this time? (I'm assuming you had a complete pass through
