Well its taken three years but I finally killed a Grouse, and on opening day to boot! Magnus broadhead darn near took his head right off so there was no trouble recovering this one. Lost 2 arrows shooting at others though.

Congratulations! Getting a bird with a bow is a real trophy. I am still after my first. I hear flu-flu arrows might help with arrow recovery.

Congratulations! As an avid grouse hunter I have often thought of giving them a try with my longbow, as well.

Congratulations1 That is a real trophy!

Question.. would you have considered using a small game blunt instead? I was thinking of using Ace Hex Heads…….

You should be extremely proud.

I can’t shoot those things for the life of me. They only scare the hell out of me as I’m headed to my hunting spot.

Congrats!

Steve I have tried judos for them in the past, but kinda lost faith in them after I bowled a Ruffie over with one only to have him get up and fly away.

Wildschwein,

Congrats on the grouse. They’re one of my favorite small game to hunt, on the rare occasion that I am able to do so.

With respect to Ace Hex Heads, they are outstanding on smaller grouse species (ruffed and spruce). I shot over a dozen ruffed and spruce with them a few years ago in Ontario, and killed every one I hit. Most of them just flipped over dead.

Wildschwein,

Is that a ruffie? Nice bird…congrats! I didn’t get out for our bird opener yesterday, but with our deer and elk opener coming up on Saturday, I should be able to get in the woods at least once this weekend. Keep slingin’ arrows!

I’ve shot a number of grouse with my Grizzly, and have actually had better luck recovering them with my bow than my .22, typically. I use anything from the hard rubber bludgeon type blunts to judos, and have had little problem with losing them. Of course, when you center-shoot them in the body, the judo or blunt typically opens’em up enough they don’t really feel up to going very far. My uncle uses empty .357/.38 brass as a cheap, dispensable blunt. Just epoxy the head on over a trashed field tip, and it works great. Especially if you have arrows that have been bent and re-straightened multiple times. LOL.

Michael.
