first welcome to hog hunting ist's TONS of fun!!
like everyone is saying get some experienced dogs then go to pups. i like pups because i like knowing exactly how they been treated and i know there ins and outs, but it's A LOT harder that way. next you need someone to go with you. you don't want to walk in to a bay and see a 300lb nasty butt boar and it's your fist time!!!
it took me two years to get a place that i can hunt anytime i want. it takes time LOTS of it. maybe you can get lucky and get some places close by. i would also hunt with as many different hunters and different ways as you can so you can see what you like.
before you buy a dog i would hunt with it several times. see how he hunts by himself and with other dogs. that way you know if it is ill...happy hunting and good luck..sorry so short got to go to my 4th football practice to day.
