The easiest way is probably to put a feeder up or bait for a few days in an area they are using, then sit over it. You can put bait in open areas and stalk or drive from one site to another glassing or using thermal/nv. Corn, wheat, peanuts all work well.Dusk and dawn are better times, or night if you have the gear. Night is definitely better in hot weather. Cameras will tell you when they are coming in, and feeders can help train them to certain times.
All good info from canuroper.
The most productive for me is hunting feeders. I hunt for deer hunters that have hog problems at their feeder plots. These are usually clearings in wooded areas and the hunting is close range most of the time. I sometimes bring in my feeder so I can set my own feed times and use a cell camera to send the pics to my phone in real time. A large majority of my hunting requires a 60 to 120 mile round trip so the cell camera more than pays for itself in wasted time checking sim cards and gas.
You did not say what type of land you will be hunting? Plots will always work but if you are on agricultural land then you can spot and stalk the fields. If it is a dark night and you can stalk quietly from the downwind side then you can get closer than you probably want to be once they start running after the first shot. It's all about the WIND with hogs.
Hogs are mainly nocturnal so night time is best. A thermal scanner and scope is the best equipment to use. Spend some time over on the Night Calling Forum and there is plenty of information about Night Vision and Thermal technology.
