Hogs can be really hard to pattern if you don't have feeders. Their main weaknesses are water and cover. Here in the southern U.S. they are found in the thickest cover available and usually near water. The nastiest swamps you can find usually hold the most hogs. Hogs can be found almost anywhere but if you concentrate on water sources/swampy areas with the heaviest cover you can find you should find hogs. Hope this helps. Good luck.
