Closest hog hunt to southern Illinois?
I was talking to my in-laws yesterday about maybe trying some hog hunting in the future, but I have no idea where to go to find hogs. I'm in south eastern Illinois. Where could I go to find some piggies to hunt without driving across the country?
I'd just like to find a farmer somewhere that would like to rid himself of them, or find some public land to hunt. I'm not interested in paying an outfitter or guide. We are of the poor, do-it-yourself breed

Check around Shawnee Forest. I have several counterparts that live down there and they are always talking about the hogs down there while out from mushroom hunting to deer and turkey hunting. They always kill a few while doing each. The hunt in Williamson and Union Co.

I've never seen a Wildhog in LBL, and I spend alot of time there biking and hiking. I have heard that there used to be some, but I've never spoke with anyone, to included the Fish & Wildlife Officers in the area, that have actually seen or heard of any hogs being killed.
