Hey everyone, I'm in the Air Force stationed in Missouri at Whiteman AFB. I've always wanted to try hog hunting but with two kids, deployments always rolling around, and the never ending financial burden, taking a trip to somewhere like Texas or wherever you would usually think of hog hunting is a little out of the question. I've never been hog hunting and wouldn't even know where to start. I'm just looking to see if anyone hunts hogs in Missouri or somewhere close that might be a reasonable weekend venture. Also, how do you guys usually hunt them if you are hunting a public access area? Spot and stalk? I'm all about exploring and just walking around until I see something or figure it out, if that's what it takes. Do hogs spook like deer do? Or do they "stand their ground" a little better than deer? I read on gameandfishmag . com that the Devils Backbone Wilderness area in Southern MO is a decent place to go in Missouri. Anyone ever been there? Any input is always appreciated.
Thanks
