I'm from Mo too Goose, and the only feral hogs I hear much about are in the Southern part of the state. Mark Twain Nat. forest is supposed to have some good populations of them. Never know where a few small pockets of them might be though. I hunted a place in Northern Mo 15 years ago that had some feral hogs. Saw their tracks and rooting, never saw one though. You're in whitetail heaven though, hope you got a good spot up there to get a biggun'.
