When I lived in central AR, in the clubs and bars you would see all these Searcy gals that drove to Little Rock to party. I don't know if underage serving is a problem in LR, but the fact is a lot of these gals were on the road at night to get to the "doin's"--Hwy 67/167 can be dangerous and it's an hour's exposure.
Can't get everything 100% safe, but it's just a thing to brief her up on.
As far as hogs, depends on how far you want to drive from Searcy. I don't believe there's a lot of opportunity around there, except for a pay hunt like somebody said. I live in NW Arkansas in the middle of the Ozark NF and we have hogs. I hosted my out of state BIL this past for a hog hunt, he had to pay $50 for a one-day license and we saw nothing that day. They don't let you hunt them at night except on your own (private) land.
