Hello all I am new to this blog and thought id ask a question about hunting boar. The main reason I want to start hunting is I live on a ranch in Midland Texas and things economy is a bit tough and I have the opportunity to hunt wild boar/pigs on the land. Free. My main reasoning to get involved in hunting,  primarily for food and my questions is for hunters.  First, what would you bring with you when hog hunting? Second, do I need a hunting license to hunt on private property? What time of year do people normally hunt hog during? Or more so, when NOT to hunt hogs?  Also, any good websites to visit about all the hog/boar hunting equipment/ gear needed? Any other insight would be great.

Finally, as mentioned I am on a budget and just need the bare essentials!

Thank you in advance for any information,

Mark, Midland Tx
