SPRINGFIELD -- A man from Licking is accused of illegally hunting wild hogs in the Mark Twain National Forest. The U.S. attorney's office says Charles Wade operates a guide service that advertises hunts for wild hogs and other animals.

Wade, 66, is charged with violating federal law and U.S. Forest Service regulations regarding feral hogs. Prosecutors say Wade conducted an illegal hog hunt last April in the forest in Texas County. They say it's illegal to conduct work activity in the national forest without a special use permit or other government authorization.

Wade made his first appearance on the charge in federal court on Wednesday.
