There are a few (very few) hogs in some isolated spots around meridian, you' ll have to locate some private landowners who have a bunch of swamp/creekbottom land as that' s where they seem to hang out. In 25 years of hunting I' ve only seen two hogs around here so the odds aren' t that great. I had some root up some small pine trees on some of my land a few years back, but I never laid eyes on them. Some of the public land over near natchez and vicksburg has good hog populations. If I were strictly hunting for hogs I wouldn' t waste my time in the eastern part of the state, not much chance of seeing them.
