Great, more hogs...

@Flatbottom Boy- Saw you were in Waynesville, curious if you could offer some advice to a guy in Rolla. I'm thinking about trying to hunt some national forest around here this fall, wondering if you could offer any tips on what land types/features to focus on while out in the deep woods? Focus on small water holes, small open fields/glades in the deep woods, funnels, certain kinds of oak or other trees, etc? I'm kind of spoiled for choice here, don't really know how to whittle down the vast expanse of oak to what areas would hold deer more than others.

I'm used to only having a private small spot or two, that are easy to find sign/trails and can be picked apart on foot in a few hours during a squirrel hunt. Now I'm trying to pick a few locations to go scout from the thousands of acres within a 30 minute drive. Any advice?

Kayser, I'll try to get you on track but I'm going to PM you.
