Hi everyone,
I’m excited to try hunting for the first time and would love to bring my 13-year-old son along for the experience. We’ll be in the Cocoa, FL area this Christmas, and I’d like to try hog hunting. I’m looking for recommendations on a good, budget-friendly setup that would be effective for this.
A bit about me: I was vegan for over 22 years due to concerns about animal treatment, hormones, antibiotics, and factory farming practices. However, my son enjoys eating meat and recently expressed a wish to share meals that include meat with me. That inspired me to explore hunting as a way to provide meat while maintaining a sense of respect and connection to the animal.
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially on gear, local tips, or how to get started as an ethical and responsible hunter.
Thank you!
