I'm from IL but work in MO and hunt in both states.. There are Feral Hogs in Mark Twain Natl. forest, you just have to get out there and find them.. We have found them before and there are some nice ones.. But you are not far from Arkansas either and just into Arkansas there is a good place to hunt hogs.. I just got back this weekend from there actually.. Maybe I'll post some pics on a seperate thread.. PM me if you want the name and I'll get it to ya if your really wanting too go.. Wish I was going back soon I'd just invite ya along but it won't be till next year at this point...
