To the hunter who asked what it cost. I did not include the cost because someone will take it wrong and say I'm bragging or showing off. Now that you have asked I will share some cost references. Polaris crew ranger 13600, plus lift kit bigger tires rigging hood adds around 2000 more. Sea container for storing feed,gear, and Polaris  with delivering and extras 5000 then you can add dogs and anywhere from 5000 and up for gear and dogs easily. Then there's kennels and the skies the limit on those.  Lots of man hours cleaning and feeding. It's 1000 dollars every time I buy feed. Then there's up keep for dogs. It's easy to spend 35000 to get started. You can go hunting in Africa cheaper. And we still haven't added gas, Polaris maintenance , or vet bills. So divide what it cost per year to hunt by how many pigs you will catch and you will b surprised by your answer. I hope this helped.
i like to know what it cost because it all cost. was it 35k to start or is that your investment to date. can i spend 35k on hog hunting and live to tell about it, hell naw! everything has a price associated with it, thats a fact, if i had someone to tag along with i would. but i always like to have my own. can i have a yard of 30-40 dogs, no. can i keep 3 or 4, take care of their health, feed them and provide the care they need beyond my own ability, yes. it would be alot easier if i had someone to partner with, rome wasn't built n a day and i am just doing my due diligence. great topic, good advice keep it coming. this thread will answer alot of questions i have and others.
