Getting started with bears
Bear hunting can be addicting, it's never a "I'm just gonna try this once, to say that I did it", but more of "when's the next season and what other states have a bear season". Good luck.- GlockZ

Black Bear Hunting for a New Hunter
I'm sure the .44 mag would do you just fine at short ranges for bear over hounds, but if you're looking to expand your hunting ventures and range, I would invest in a new rifle, the standards should work fine for you, 308, 30-06, 270, 7mm-08, etc., just practice and pick a good bullet. Bear...- GlockZ

Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?
I have no dog in the fight, I've been quite happy with my 270 Win, & various 308's. Never had interest in anything 7mm either,( maybe I missed the boat on something ). Regardless, I've seen the videos and they are pretty interesting. I think the manufacturers are pushing the boundaries as far as...- GlockZ

Red dot Glock 20
I have a good set of night sights on my G20, I really like the technology of red dots, but not sure yet if I want to make the investment for myself. -
Reloading manual
Alliant, Hodgdon, Nosler and Barnes all have reloading recipes online. Unless you're shooting a specific brand of bullet like Berger or Hornady, having a reloading manual isn't as necessary as one might think.- GlockZ

Should I buy a .338?
My very first rifle was and still is a Winchester Model 70 in .338WM. I was 18 and weighed 135lbs. soaking wet. A few people looked at me funny when I first went to the range, said the rifle was too big for me, but I managed to prove them wrong. Had the trigger smoothed out, bedded it and... -
Dogs Male or Female
I was always told a female dog will be more protective because of mothering instincts, don't know if it's true or not, I've had both male and female dogs and really don't see any difference other than females tend to be faster learners.- GlockZ

.243 Winchester
Between the 2 you mentioned, either one would do you justice. I have both brands in various calibers and have no issues with accuracy or being picky about ammo. -
New ruger american Gen II
The gen-2's have some nice updates for sure, I have a first generation predator version in 308, and with an 18" tube I found to be very accurate, and easy to carry all day in the woods. But there isn't enough there for me to upgrade to a new one. -
Do you get tired?
My season starts early September, fall bow season for deer, and a few other seasons, shotgun, muzzleloader, then I do an out of state rifle hunt with some friends after Thanksgiving, then back for 6-day fireman, in early December, and by the end of December, I'm worn out...then it's time to...- GlockZ

Term Limits
I wanna say that the reason we have to deal with the Feinsteins, McConnells, Schumers is because they are so indebted to their money masters, that they can't afford to lose an election. Look at Menendez right now, after his last round thru the legal system, he literally picked up where he left...- GlockZ

My first new vehicle
I've been looking around the truck market, don't see a reason to buy a used truck, because of the prices. Even with a sizable down payment and good credit, looking at $750-$1000 a month payment on new. Thinking maybe getting a mid-sized SUV instead. Until then, I'll keep driving my 2012 Ram 1500...- GlockZ

Pin distance
I used a 5 pin set up for a long time,(20-60yds), have since switched to a single pin slider, much easier for me now as I get older. -
What lever gun are you thinking? (Bear mainly / possibly other big game)
Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. Does the job exceptionally well, with light recoil.
