Title: First day out with a stickbow in 20 years = success!
Post by: nicktrehearne on December 22, 2025, 05:46:22 PM
Well, after a 20 year hiatus from traditional bowhunting and a 7 year from bowhunting altogether (I went down a rifle hunting rabbit hole for a while), I bought a Hoyt Satori in November. A few thousand practice shots and a month later, I was at a point to where I was confident enough to hunt with it again so headed out for some predators. I called in 1 coyote and 2 lynx to within 15 yards this day. The coyote stopped perfectly behind a 2' tall tree and didn't offer a shot at 15yards. The 1st lynx came into 10 yards but I could only see his head peeking up above the snow / rise in the terrain, and the 2nd lynx, well, he wasn't so lucky. A 10 yard shot on him and he ran 50 yards and piled up.
