Hello, so as I said am an active duty service member who is currently on a rotation in Korea. But I was really hoping that when I get back home to central Texas in a few months (February-ish) someone might be willing to help me get started and learn more about hunting, as I've never really had a chance to learn in the past, particularly hog and eventually Deer. I've been scouring these forums and the internet as a whole every chance I get but I feel that's only going so far compared to experience and those with it. Thanks.

Send me a message when you get home. I do not have hogs (and do not want any) but I can show you some above average deer hunting..

If you're returning near the Austin area, PM me when you arrive so I can meet you. We can discuss a hog hunt on my lease.

I really appreciate the repilies, I'll be returning to the Ft Hood area in mid to late February but I'm more than willing to bring my truck and rifle out anywhere.

Thank You

I still have my hopes up about meeting someone who will let a broke Disabled Vet hut for hogs
