REMINDER
Feral Hog Public 
Comment Period


The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service is asking for public comment on a proposal to prohibit the hunting of feral swine on the Mark Twain National Forest. 

CFM supports closing the Mark Twain National Forest to hog hunting. Make your voice be heard. We ask you to send comments to SM.FS.MTFeralSwine@usda.gov during the 60-day comment period which ends July 23, 2019. There will be a public open house on June 18th in Rolla for those who wish to provide comments in person. 

Feral hogs are a problem in Missouri for many reasons. Closing the Forest Service property to feral hog hunting will be a positive step to help eliminate feral hogs from the state. Hunting has not been an effective tool for eliminating feral hog populations. This closure will be important to helping agencies and partners make positive progress towards feral hog eradication. Learn more about feral hogs and the proposal HERE.
