Currently in the state of Missouri hunters are allowed but not encouraged to pursue feral hogs on Department of Conservation lands. However, proposed regulation changes will completely block hunters from taking feral hogs on MDC lands. The time to act is now if you do not wish for this to take place. The "proposed regulation changes" link above will take you to the page where you can view the proposed regulation change for feral hog hunting on Missouri Department of Conservation lands (this proposal is in the section marked 3 CSR 10-11.110: General Provisions). You can also let the Department know if you would like to continue being able to hunt pigs on Conservation Department owned or leased lands.
By taking the time to respond to the Department of Conservation, you can let them know how you feel about the idea of losing your ability to hunt feral hogs on a great deal of Missouri's public hunting lands.
MDC is allowing public commenting on this issue between April 16, 2016 and May 15, 2016.
Don't miss your opportunity to be heard!

Hunting Gear - Is All This New Stuff Necessary
While watching hunting shows you are sure to see new products hitting the market seemingly on a daily basis. There's the new scopes that will take pictures of your view, and the new rifle that's almost guaranteed to make you a better hunter, the new flashlight that makes it impossible to miss that evasive blood trail and all the other magical items you just have to have to be successful.....at least according to the commercials. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing bad about having any of this stuff and some of it really can give you an advantage. However, if buying that new doomahicky isn't in the budget, don't let it keep you out of the field. All the hype can make you wonder how anyone ever survived before there were grocery stores. Our ancestors definitely weren't hunting with all these newfangled "necessities."
In truth, a successful hunt depends more on your preparation than any gadget or gizmo you can buy at the sporting goods store or from those infomercials. Sure those new items are cool and fun to have around, but they really aren't necessary for success. If you have a rifle or a bow that you are comfortable with shooting and some basic camouflage you can be successful as long as you do your homework and set up in the right place. Smart hunting is the true key to success.
