Night 1 – Blog Post:
Night 1 of this 4-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was a perfect example of what real hunting looks like — especially when you’re sharing the field with experienced, repeat hunters who know the process.
This group has been hunting with Pig Problem for years, booking multiple nights back-to-back every Hunting Season. Hunts like these are never dull, even when the night throws challenges your way.
The evening started with an early encounter when a single hog appeared near an access point, but its position made a safe approach impossible before it moved off. Shortly after, a sounder was located at long distance, but shifting conditions caused them to slip away before a setup could come together.
Another opportunity developed on a different single Boar, but just as the group was getting set, movement alerted the hog and it disappeared into cover — a reminder of how quickly hogs react, even during careful setups.
Persistence finally paid off later in the night when another single Wild Hog was located, the setup came together cleanly, and the opportunity was capitalized on with a successful recovery.
An equipment issue brought the night to an earlier close than planned, but the group handled it exactly how seasoned hunters do — understanding that long, multi-night hunts are about patience, effort, and letting the week unfold.
Night 1 was officially in the books, with three more nights still ahead and plenty of opportunity left to come.
