With hunting as it is today, someone new stumbling around in the woods without a clue is more likely to never hook up with a shot as well as being a bit of a danger to themselves and others. Not to mention spooking game out of the area for everyone else. Hence why I said hunt with someone experienced for a bit to teach you the basics. Self taught is all well and fine but this isn't the time when you and I were pups mrbb and there just isn't the open lands like we had growing up. You know, back when the T-Rex was king
As far as hog hunting, it can be a lot like deer hunting sometimes and then again it can be 10 times easier. It's starting to cool off a good bit so you have more chance of seeing them in the daytime now. Lot's of different ways to hunt them including, but not limited to, hunting over a feeder, hunting fields, dog running, spot and stalk. 90% of the 3000+ hogs I have taken have been from info from the landowners about where they hit the fields. I go out, spot where they are coming in to and sit back and wait for dinner time
