[QUOTE="teebig, post: 3518744, member: 47134"] Hogs are going to be close to water. So I'd start by pulling out a map and going to WMA areas that are relatively close to water sources whether that's a river or pond or whatever. Then i'd look for a food source and cover. We generally find them bedded down during the day in thick brush. If you're able to find some signs (even if it's old signs) then at least you know you're on the right track and in the vicinity. Something else is just following wildlife trails. Most animals don't veer too far off those trails. Idk how much you know about hog hunting but this article may be worth reading for you to get a little background on hog hunting: [URL]https://outriggeroutdoors.com/blogs/night-hunting/hog-hunting-the-hunters-guide[/URL] Public land hog hunting is definitely harder than private land primarily because you can bait on private land but it's still possible to spot and stalk hogs on public land. You just have to really understand how to read the terrain and locate them. I know certain areas we hunt are really good only when we get some rain. If it's dry, those areas don't work.
