I have been volunteered to look for an outfitter for hunting hogs. I am new to hog hunting. I have read most of the first two or three pages on this forum, enough to get some idea about a hunt. But... I am new to this and I am quite certain there are a number of "ins and outs" that I have not read about in these few pages. We black bear hunt in Maine, so we are familiar with hunting, just not hog hunting. Our hunting equipment is set up for daytime hunting, thermal hunting is not quite in the picture as to date. Also I have read in other forums and articles where the hunting is more like wandering into the local zoo and picking out an animal to shoot in a fenced in area. This is quite not what we are looking for. We are in the Rhode Island area, a 6-8 hour drive would be ideal for us to find an outfitter. My questions are how do we locate a reputable outfitter, what ought we be looking for to book a hunt, the best times to book a hunt, what does a normal day of hog hunting look like, is there a ratio of hunter to guide that we ought to be asking about, approximately how much would/should a hog hunt cost for a hunt? I have seen some fairly steep prices on three day hunts, I just do not know if these are reasonable prices. Again we are totally new to this type of hunting with lots of unknowns, but we would like to try another kind of hunt. I am quite certain that I have come to the right place with all of my questions.Thanks for any replies/help, and for taking the time to answer some of my questions.
