Missouri Hogs

[e_collop]

Has anyone ever shot any hogs in Missouri?  The MDC page says we have isolated populations that need to be dealt with.  They don't really say where though.  I really want to hunt some hogs but really don't want to "buy" one behind a high fence or drive two days to do it.  I am setting up a Marlin lever action right now that I think a pig would like!  Let me know if there are any MO hog hunters.

i tried once near Ft. Leonard Wood, never came close to shooting though.  my buddy is a game warden in that area of MO and he says that the pigs are not numberous and are hard to find.  if you decide to give it a try PM me and let me know what you do.  I've got some maps of the Ft. Leonard Wood area somewhere.

Did you see any hogs when you were there?  I have heard you can only use shotguns or muzzleloaders there.  Do you need any special permit?  WHat kind of country is it, timber or more open?  Any information would be helpful.

Thanks
