If you are new to the sport please think it through

Yep I think its more important to get good mates to hunt with before you get a dog or dogs...pay your way, have fun, be prepared to help with the mundane things and you'll go a long way....and learn a lot for when it comes time to get your own dog.

As a dog owner I find it easier and preferable to take mates who don't even own a dog. That way I can work my own dogs without worrying about theres. There always seems to be too many dogs for the work you have. I feel if I'm doing most of the running around organising, hunting my spots then I should be able to work and teach my own dogs as a priority.

Hog hunting does cost a lot. But you've gotta have a passion.
