Feral hogs are destructive pests that destroy sensitive habitats, spread diseases, and compete with native wildlife for resources.  Fort Leonard Wood has an intensive control program where professional biologists trap and remove hogs throughout the year with the goal of total eradication.  Hunting efforts by people wishing to hunt pigs can hinder those efforts, in some cases, but hogs may still be taken opportunistically by hunters pursuing deer on FLW.  Feral hogs may be taken on FLW only incidentally while hunting for deer following all legal seasons, restrictions, and methods.  Specifically, baiting, trapping, and the use of dogs to pursue feral hogs is not authorized on FLW.
