    Recurve refinishing/limb twist question

    I recently purchased a recurve via eBay, a Darton Super Flite Jr. Scout. It's a kid's bow with 25-30# draw weight. The plan is to clean it up, refinish it, polish it up, put a new string on it, and donate it for a youth raffle prize at the Oregon Wild Sheep Foundation banquet. I've done this a...

    Healthy bread; What is there?

    I'm making some progress on the exercise front, but I need to work on my diet if I want to get in better shape. I know I'll do better with giving myself healthy options than I will with depriving myself. I also know that I like bread in a variety of settings, but a lot of breads are a...

    NE Oregon elk--Was it worth 21 points?

    I cashed my 21 Oregon elk points this year to draw a rifle tag for the Wxxxxx Unit in the NE part of the state. For those not familiar, this is the highest demand rifle elk tag in the state and the one with the reputation for the biggest bulls. I didn't really start out saving for this unit, but...

    A music poll to accompany Friday Tunes

    This question kind of intrigues me, because there are several layers of complexity to the answer. Either way I'd be giving up some good stuff. Obviously the actual year of your birth would be a significant factor in what falls into either category. 1977 for me, and I'm pretty solidly in the...

    Bonds vs. mutual funds/ETFs that hold bonds

    I'm relatively uneducated to be posting in this subforum, but I recognize that HuntTalk is the repository of all knowledge worth knowing, so here I am. My kids have a little money that I've helped them invest, and I'm always perusing the options. They currently have a small percentage of their...

    Starting the year with one last Oregon hunt from last year

    My son and I are preparing to leave this afternoon for a few days of deer hunting. This will be our last hunt for the 2022 season, and thus far, no one in our family has fired a shot this year. One last chance to avoid getting skunked. My two older kids had this same tag two years ago, and I...

    Hunters of Color podcast

    Just finished listening to the podcast this evening. Worth my time spent. Thank you, @Big Fin. I'm following up looking for a better understanding. You were all really careful in how you talked about the hunter killed in Pennsylvania, which I assume is related to the unresolved legal case. I'm...

    A parable

    Johnny was 12 years old and fascinated with cars. He read car magazines and talked his dad into taking him to car shows. He was convinced at that age that someday he wanted to own a Ferrari, specifically a model of which only 5 were produced each year. Now this Ferrari cost $400,000, but Johnny...

    Do Utah bonus/preference points expire?

    If there is an answer online or in the regs, it seems to be hiding from me. I had bought points for my wife and daughter for one year, and I'm curious if/when they will disappear into the ether. I also can't find a way to check my daughter's points directly to see if they're still there. QQ

    Drove to Nevada and only saw 4 antelope

    Indeed, we drove to Nevada to hunt antelope, and we only saw 4, but there is a happy ending. As usual, application season came to a close, and then I started thinking about additional opportunities. I started with the Colorado reissue list, and I was looking at that the other night, but nothing...

    2021 Colorado secondary draw odds speculation

    I know this is stacking speculation on speculation, but for those more familiar with Colorado, how does a guy anticipate the odds of getting a deer tag in the secondary drawing? I understand that it's a bonanza for youth (of which I have three in my house), but I would like to draw an adult tag...

    QuazyQuinton takes his kids hunting

    I've never done a "live hunt" on a discussion forum, but this seems like a good time to try. We're staying in a trailer in a spot with cell service, so it might work out. I'm sure if I forget, someone will remind me via PM. :) My two older children drew deer tags for this youth hunt. It is a...

    They may never let me in the parade again!

    My daughter works part-time at a retirement community. Due to covid, they had to cancel their Christmas dinner, so they had a Christmas parade instead. I couldn't let the opportunity pass. Of course, we had a loudspeaker with Gayla Peavey singing her heart out. Now I have a 4x8 hippo. I'm...

    Utah elk vs. Colorado elk

    Since the internet is a great place to pose hypothetical questions and get plenty of contradictory opinions, I'll throw a question out to hear what you have to say. If you had to pick one, which would you pick to buy a preference/bonus point in 2021 (assuming you will already be applying for...

    Colorado reissue tag success

    After spending (wasting?) a lot of hours watching the Colorado reissue list while doing homeschool dad duties, we eventually picked up a 3rd season rifle buck tag and decided to make it a family trip. Between COVID, homeschooling, and other responsibilities, it was just time to get away. Youth...

    Investing for my kids

    I recently got some extra money from cashing out some PTO at work (apparently I don't hunt enough), so I'm working on setting up a custodial investment account with Charles Schwab for each of my kids, ages 12-17. It was a gift from me, then matching a contribution from them, and then additional...

    Longer bullets destabilizing downrange?

    OK, I definitely don't know everything about reloading and bullet selection, but I'm trying to figure this out. I understand that longer bullets require a faster rate of twist to be stabilized in flight. I've also heard that higher velocities help to stabilize bullets that might otherwise be...

    QuazyQuinton from western Oregon

    Hey folks, I've been reading for a while and decided it's time to join. I'll introduce myself by saying I live in western Oregon and hunt a variety of places around this fine state. I know our non-resident quotas aren't real attractive to many of you, but I'm happy to help with questions about...
