Hogs Hunting is not as easy as some think it is like in Texas and a few other States where they are over run with them they are easier to find and Hunt down but in other States where they are as prominent it can be very difficult to get a Hog.We use to be able to Hunt Hogs here in Missouri on Public Land but the MDC put an end to it.I have tried to kill some wild Feral Hogs on Private Land and they are damn smart and pretty much Nocturnal like Deer and have a great nose like a Deer or Coyote that can smell You from very far away.We got 1 shot off at a smaller Pig but missed and I heard several behind me while I was up in a Ladder stand but they didn't come in thru the thick woods where I was set up....I've Deer Hunted for over 40 years and was outsmarted by a Stinking Pig!

If I were You I would ask some locals in the Area You want to Camp & Hunt in if and where they have seen any Hogs and go there and try Your luck.
