I went a couple of years antelope hunting in Wyoming. The local chamber of commerce gave out a list of local ranchers that welcomed prairie dog hunters. They are small but fun to shot at and the ranchers don't really care what caliber you use as long as you get rid of the prairie dogs and you don't shoot around their livestock.
I am hoping a similar arrangement is available for hogs.

It's far better to use an established local outfitter for the contacts. American farmers aren't the most receptive to strangers these days. Take lots of money. You'll need it. There's a charge for absolutely everything. Good luck.
I used to occasionally watch an outfit on YouTube hunt hogs in Texas. They did it all at night with AR's, suppressors and night-vision; lots of shooting from moving UTV's etc. Need a lot of kit we can't get up here, so as mentioned hiring an outfitter is probably the only or best option. Seems common to collect all the dead hogs and drop them off in mass at a local dog food factory. Don't think farmers want to go around cleaning up dead critters afterwards, so that's likely a condition. As would be not tearing up their fields with the vehicles.
We looked into it as a side show for a visit to Arizona. Found a ranch offering a diy spot n stalk for $225/day, they offered blind hunts also 'thermal' hunts with your or rented equip, priced accordingly

I met a rancher from Texas he told me if I want to go down there to hunt hogs, he and his neighbours would pay for the ammo, feed me, give me a place to stay, provide a Jeep or farm truck to get around and I could stay as long as I want, he even said he knows another rancher who would fly me around in his helicopter if I proved I was a good shot. They really don’t like the hogs down there as they do a lot of damage, they want them exterminated end of story.
Unless you hunt from a helicopter in the Aerial Wildlife Management Program, then you need a license.
This is the kind of contacts I was hoping to find.
Look at Texas . a buddy who lives there has a friend who has land and he shoots hogs . then burns then in a large pit . he said something about sometimes there is something wrong with the hog meat on those wild pigs . I can't remember what he said . he has another friend who hunts then on a regular basis . with an AR15. I've seen lots of photos of buddy and the hogs he has shot . got a photo of his one his one buddies gun safe . lots of pistols .
There are hundreds of hog hunting videos online that will give you a hint of what is needed. I dont think it is as simple as going out finding hogs popping their heads up and shooting. They are wary creatures and dangerous. It does look like a bunch of fun though.
