I'm a Houston resident and goto school in Austin.
Ok so my dad used to be an avid deer/bird hunter about 20 yrs ago. He told me he even shot something like the second largest bear at the time around the 70;s or 80's in alaska. Maybe thats just a fable or i remember it wrong. When he met my Buddhist mother he stopped because of her disapproval. Since then shes become open to the whole idea.
My dad has a crazy hectic busy being out of the country 9 months of the year. I'm about to turn 20 and i have never had the chance to hunt with my dad. I would like to surprise him for his birthday with a planned out hunting trip. Since my dad has been out of the loop for so long, he has no idea where to do what etc.
What would be good game to hunt? I'm kind of interested in hog/boar i suppose. No offense to deer hunting, but I'm not the incredibly patient type or anything, I'd rather have action. What kind of game is fun? I'd like to try hog hunting with a knife later on even!
Where are the good spots around Houston/Austin? How does this even work, do i need a license, do i get a lease on land, i have no idea where to start. Any links to some info including THR links would help so much.
Thanks in Advance,
Elmer
P.S. I heard of something like coyote heads bringing in $25 a piece in some parts of Texas? Was this just some guy bsing around or can i do this? Where?
