Boy that's my favorite meal after a hard days hunt! Grouse Sufleit!    Need to find some schrooms to go with that bird.

Just like that but smaller.

Yes that is ...I used them heads when I was a kid ...have not seen the newer ones yet ....I like the fact they have a chiseled tip ...bet they will work just fine

That's a heck of an accomplishment right their now  if you can sneak up on a RUFFED GROUSE you can sneak up on anything ...90% of the time ruffed grouse will not stick around long enough for a shot with a bow ...good job

The new tips are stronger, Titanium I believe.

If he hits on target, those Savora's will kill.  My last 2 deer were killed with those same broadheads.

No joke. I was expecting it to be a blue. Good work, Smossy.

Thank's guys! There was quite a few more out there but like I said I wasn't fast enough for those, and one that left its self exposed was on a branch I could of shot but It would have been a for sure arrow loss and hard recovery because it was on a downward sloping hill with thick brush. Was surprised that one I shot even went anywhere, I hit low and it ripped through the stomach area and It still flew off about 15 yards with its legs hanging. Thought I might have broke some legs but they looked fine when I cleaned it.

Do you guys usually meat out the legs to? Or just the breast?

[DoubleJ]

Just the breast

Yeah that's what I did, same technique. I just noticed the legs had alittle meat on them, I tossed it anyways.
