Default who's gonna pop my cherry

Ok, second question then about my hypothetical trip to Florida.
Which outfitters are concidered the best when it comes to bowhunting Florida, preferably hogs.
Since it's going to be my first real life hunt, I'd prefer a spot and stalk huntthan from a buggy or a hog that's surrounded by dogs.

Like a said every kind of input is welcome....

I'm curious as to why you are a member with so many posts, but have not hunted before. Not that there is anything wrong with that...like I said, just curious.

Frank lives in Belgium. He loves archery but there is almost no hunting in his neck of the woods. He's dreaing about coming to the US to hunt though and likes talking to all of the hunters and archers here.

well, first of all thx Dave for backing me up.

I live in Belgium, Europe which means no bowhunting at all. The closest country that allows bowhunting is France and this is what I need to do if I want to go bowhunting in France;
I need to have ahuntinglicence, obtained in Belgium but for hunting with a gun since no bowhunting in Belgium. This all so means I need a gunlicence and the gun I have the licence for.
Next I'll have to get a two day french given cours on bowhunting done in France before I can hunt anywhere in France. Then I have to find a place to hunt in France where they allow non native hunters.
In Belgium a hunters licence is a theoretical and practical exam which you do with your own rifles.
So total cost would be around 2500 euros counting the rifle as well. And all that just to use a bow ?
There are no european countries I know of where you can hunt without a belgian huntinglicence.
The closest I found is the Russia or croatia, they allow bowhunting but only on private property.
And since all bowhunting aces live in the states what better place to learn from than HNI ?

Well if you decide to come here let me be the first to say i hope you have a awesome time and I hope you shoot some big old pigs.

Do not go deer hunting when you come here because if you do you will be addicted like a junkey on crack once you shoot a buck a will never want to go home.
