Hunting Wild Hogs Hunting wild hogs with just dogs and a knife will give you the greatest rush of your life. Like any other sport you need to have a few required things in order to start. Some of the most important things that you need are hunting dogs, a four-wheel drive truck with a dog cage, a knife, area or land to hunt on that will be legal, etc. You can get hunting dogs through magazines, friends, family, and even from the humane society. I would recommend a four-wheel drive truck, but some places you don’t even need it. My opinion is to get couple of dogs that already work, get the rest from the humane society and train them yourself,
