The best way to find them is to walk around and look for wet spots wherethey have been rooting around digging up the mud. If you are quiet you can hear them snorting. Me and a friend of mine have done this the last two weekends and we have killed 6 hogs so far. Good luck.

I always look for water when hunting hogs, here in SC it has been a fail safe tactic for me. Power lines near a water source is also a hog magnet, they will rub against the poles to get the creosote on them. Once you find some sign you can take a five gallon bucket and drill some small holes in and fill it with corn(if legal) this will make the hogs work harder for the food and keep them in the area a little longer. I have had to tie up some of my buckets before because they would roll it away. My favorite way to hunt them is walk the edgw of a swamp or any waterline in the woods during midday while they are resting and shoot them on the run.
