G'day Ryan,
Welcome to the hunting world.
Mate I also live in Hoppers , although I am currently working interstate.
I only hunt deer but have mates that hunt pigs up Benalla way.
I have a shack up that way where they sometimes stay, and I am sure that they would be happy to show a young bloke the ropes.
When home I usually go up for weekends and if you are interested and allowed , I'll be more than happy to get you involved with these guys .
In the mean time Good Hunting.
