will it kill a deer?

As you know, shot placement is critical but the practical answer is no. This is less powerful than a .22 rim fire and can not be relied upon to humanly kill medium game.

Yes....plenty fast enough. You could range out to 35-40 yards and still have enough energy left for a clean kill. People have killed deer for decades with bows that did not put out the energy this crossbow does.

Absolutely it can. All these naysayers on this board don't know what they are talking about. I killed a 32 point with this very gun, after which I ate its liver and testicles raw in a beastly ceremony. So don't let anyone tell you this won't get the job done. It will. Just make sure you hit the deer in a 1mm target circle at the deer's medulla oblongata, at the base of its brain. If you miss, have a field knife ready to chase it down. I've done that too, by the way. Killed a 64 point with my bare hands and a knife. Here is a picture of it just before I plunged my knife into its skeevy little heart. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h182/curtwood/IMG_1613.jpg Absolutely it can.

That is why I bought mine, after the fact, but I really don't know, and I hope I never find out!! I expect it will at least minimize the damage should I hit another deer.

Yes it will, It will kill anything you spray it on. Be careful around your good lawn.

Size-wise, it will work on deer. I personally don't like using a knife this large on squirrel or rabbit though. I use a smaller knife for those.

Definitely not - it could kill them. You also will need to remove any plants.

No, it is not considered safe to hunt deer with a rifle of this power. It is mainly for pest control and small game.

Yes it will work for deer but remember they can jump high and duck under so you will need to string different heights and you only need one grounding rod. There are instructions in the package that it comes in.

It does not kill grass of any kind. Look up the plant lists that it will kill - they are all broad leaf weeds and brush/trees.

Assault rifles will prevent deer from being picked up by the Optex. Well, any firearm really.

It will sting the dog real good but not penatrate the skin. Same with the deer.I use mine to keep unwanted pets and critters out of my yard.

If you pick the right spot, it could kill people, but for small animals it kills them easy. I've killed big skunks around my house with it.

It doesn't work period. NOTHING is afraid of it. Deer and birds eat my entire garden while it makes its worthless noise. I just threw it away in my garbage after 6 months of NOTHING. Send me the shipping, I'll dig mine out of the garbage and send it to you.

Not sure. We bought it for deer and rabbits. Didn't do as well as expected. Good luck.

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own petsThis works greatCrank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

I used this Toxic twice on my new crossbow (a light duty 300fps 140 lb draw). The first shot killed a medium size feral hog that only got 20 yards and the second shot killed an 8 point whitetail buck. In both cases the bolt went all the way through leaving a quarter-dollar size hole and shredding the lungs. With the deer it flew another 25 yards. I wouldn't even consider using any other kind of broadhead.
