Intrested in getting started!

[NTOWestTX243]

Thanks for all the responses. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I have in store. Commitment will not be a problem for me, once I decide for sure I want to get started. If I go in on something it's all in and there's no looking back. I asked about time because I have a 1 and 5 year old and can't be out hunting every night of the week. I want to make sure that I can devote the required time not only for myself but for the dogs as well. I imagine they deserve a certain amount of time and it would be unfair to have them if I wasn't able to hunt and work with them enough. Also I realize that every sport takes money and typically the more into it you get the more it costs, was just trying to get and idea of initial expenses and what to expect. Again I appreciate the help and look forward to learning as much as possible and catching that first hog with my own dogs. Gotta be an awesome feeling.

A lot of Good advice to follow.   Get with good people....  keep dogs to a minimum so it's not a job!   You said you have too small children, congrats.  hunting is great everyone has to have an out sometimes & nothing like the outdoors  to get away.  Hunting is part of the bond between me & my son, it can be an great family event.
