Missouri Conservationist, February 2013

We don't promote feral hog hunting in Missouri or provide hog numbers or locations to hog hunters. However, we do encourage hunters and landowners to shoot feral hogs on sight when pursuing other wildlife. States that become known for feral hog hunting tend to have more difficulties reducing their wild herds, because it leads to more illegal releases of feral hogs for hunting purposes.

Additionally, our staff efforts to trap and kill hogs in areas where they are concentrated can be confounded by hunters who disturb the trap site and cause hogs to move out of the area. We continue to look for effective ways to reduce our feral hog population. Unfortunately, feral hog hunting has proven to be ineffective in controlling their numbers.
