Write to some high schools in OK and Texas. Tell the folks there what you plan to do. Perhaps you can get invited to hunt free on someone's ranch.
Been hunting hogs for over 20 years, Killed hundreds of them. Some pointers:
1. Although hogs cannot see well, they can detect movement very well.
2. Hogs have really good hearing. They can hear the click of a gun safety at 100 yards and more.
3. Hogs are good eating-especially the smaller ones. The meat must be cooked well.
4. In hot weather hog meat spoils rapidly. I hunt hogs year around and can tell you that one has to have to have a plan to cool the carcass as quickly as possible. At 80 degrees a hog can spoil in three hours or less if not cooled.
5. Hogs are not hard to kill if they are hit well. If the hog is close shoot him in the ear or on a line between the ear and the eye. Look at the link provided. I've seen hogs run off after being hit badly with .300 magnums and 180 grain bullets.
6. Hunt them with a muzzleloader.
Good luck.
