Night two of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia closed out the Hog Hunting Trip with challenging conditions and a rewarding outcome.

With rain falling for much of the night, visibility and wind conditions were constantly changing. Early on, a single Wild Boar was located in a corn field, setting up an opportunity for a controlled stalk. As the team moved into position, a sudden wind shift required quick decision-making rather than waiting for a perfect angle. When the moment presented itself, the group acted efficiently, and the boar was successfully recovered.

Later in the night, additional ground was covered, including long-distance movement across farmland where multiple hogs were encountered. After extended tracking and repositioning, attention shifted toward another single boar moving along a tree line. Due to nearby wildlife and the need to remain undetected, shots were taken from a longer-than-normal distance.

The Boar moved off initially, but strong communication and follow-up led to a clean recovery, closing out the Boar Hunt on a high note. Despite rain, shifting winds, and longer shots, the final night demonstrated the importance of adaptability, teamwork, and experience during Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered an exciting mix of quick opportunities and extended stalks.

Early in the night, a single hog unexpectedly crossed in front of the vehicle at close range. A fast but controlled setup followed, resulting in a successful recovery.

After regrouping and continuing to scan nearby fields, thermal detection picked up another hog moving in a neighboring area. This encounter required a long stalk of over a mile, with steady movement and careful positioning to close the distance. The effort paid off with another successful recovery.

Even on a single-Night Hunt, patience and persistence proved key. This Guided Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia can shift quickly from fast action to long pursuits, all within the same night.

The fourth and final night of this Pig Problem thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia was a quiet one — but it ended with a memorable recovery.

After hours of scanning fields and moving through familiar ground, only a single hog was located throughout the night. It quickly became clear this wasn’t just any hog, but a large, mature boar with impressive size and heavy tusks.

A careful setup led to a clean, controlled outcome, and the boar was successfully recovered shortly after. At close inspection, it stood out as one of the thickest boars encountered during the season, with exceptional body mass and striking tusk development.

While the night itself was slow, the quality of the animal made it a fitting way to close out the four-night hunt. It also marked a meaningful final night for guide Clayton, who wrapped up the season hunting alongside landowners he’s built strong friendships with over time.

This hunt served as a reminder that thermal hog hunting in South Georgia isn’t always about numbers — sometimes it’s about patience, timing, and ending on a high note.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem delivered a little bit of everything — early opportunities, tough conditions, and a strong finish.

The night started off quickly when Guide Zev located hogs early on, creating the first opportunity of the Hog Hunt. A setup came together and one hog was successfully recovered, while the rest of the group slipped away into cover.

As the night went on, fog settled in across the fields, limiting visibility and making travel more challenging. Nights like this test patience and focus, especially when scanning large areas under changing conditions.

Late in the Wild Hog Hunt, persistence paid off. After moving to another area, the group encountered a Large Sounder of roughly 30 hogs right in front of them. The hogs initially spooked and moved across the field, but Zev stayed on them, repositioned, and followed their movement.

That decision led to another opportunity on the far side of the field, where the hunters were able to capitalize and recover two additional Wild Hogs — a strong finish to the night.

Three hogs recovered, heavy fog navigated, and multiple sounder encounters made this a solid and memorable One-Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem. Nights like this are a great reminder of why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is never predictable — and why staying persistent matters.

Night 1 of this two-night hunt with Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how quickly Thermal Hog Hunting can change — and how preparation and communication make all the difference.

The evening began with a thorough range session, where the hunters asked great questions and took time to understand the process. That foundation paid off later in the field, as clear communication and calm decision-making were key throughout the night.

After checking several fields with little activity, the Hog Hunt came alive when Jordan encountered a sounder of hogs feeding in a corn field alongside a large group of deer. Situations like this require extra patience and precision. Jordan walked the hunters through the plan step by step, explaining how hogs and deer often share the same ground — and how to approach the pigs without pushing deer into their path.

Using a narrow opening along the treeline, the group made a quiet, controlled stalk. Once in position, what initially appeared to be just a few hogs revealed itself as a larger sounder bundled together, creating a single, intense thermal signature.

When the opportunity came, the field erupted with movement. The sounder split in multiple directions, and Jordan maintained constant verbal control, calling pauses when needed to ensure everyone’s safety — especially as deer moved through the area. Once the field cleared, the hunters were able to continue safely and effectively.

By the end of the encounter, two hogs were successfully recovered. As the group approached, Jordan even spotted additional hogs still lingering deeper in the field, creating another opportunity — though no further recoveries were made.

Photos were taken, the hogs were processed, and the hunters requested to keep one of the heads as well — a great way to remember a successful first night.

Beyond the action, what stood out most was the hunters themselves. They listened closely, followed commands perfectly, and handled the entire night with confidence — especially impressive for those new to this style of Hog Hunting.

A strong start to a two-night hunt, full of action, learning, and excitement — and a great Night 1 with Guide Jordan in South Georgia.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

Some Hog Hunts stand out not just for the pigs you find, but for the people you Hunt with — and this night with Darrell was easily one of Clay’s favorites of the season. From the moment they met, the two hit it off, talking and laughing through nearly the entire Thermal Hog Hunt. It felt less like guiding and more like chasing hogs with an old friend.

The night couldn’t have started better.
The very first field Clay pulled into held a Big Georgia Boar, standing broadside in the open. Darrell set up calmly, took one clean chance, and the Wild Boar never took another step. A picture-perfect start to the Boar Hunt.

Later in the night, the crew came across a sounder of around 20 hogs. The stalk came together quickly, but the fast-moving group slipped into the treeline before a recovery could be made. Clay searched the edge of the woods thoroughly but wasn’t able to locate any hogs inside the cover — a reminder of how unpredictable and fast wild hogs can be, even under thermal.

Even so, the night remained a great experience. Good company, a Big Boar on the ground, and plenty of stories to take home. Hunts like this are exactly why we love what we do.

We hope Darrell comes back soon — he’s the kind of hunter that makes every mile, every scan, and every stalk worth it.

Wild Hog Hunting In Cold Weather

Cold weather changes everything in Georgia Hog Hunting, and this night proved it. The temperature dropped hard, the air was sharp, and the Pigs were on the move from the moment Guide Clay hit the fields.

Pigs were everywhere, but they weren’t holding still. Over the course of the night, Clay made four solid stalks, each one quiet, patient, and perfectly executed — but every time he closed in, the pigs drifted straight into the treeline before the team could get set.
It was one of those classic right place, wrong time situations that every hunter knows well.

Even with pigs constantly slipping into cover, persistence paid off.
Clay eventually got the team lined up on a pair of hogs, and both were successfully recovered in the field — a clean finish to a night full of movement and challenges.

The fields were soft from recent rain, and at one point Clay managed to get the van stuck (again). But in true guide fashion, a shovel, traction pads, and a lot of determination got everything back on track. That’s part of Hog Hunting farmland — conditions change fast, and guides adapt right along with them.

Despite the cold and the constant pig movement, it was another successful and memorable night of Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem.
Some nights are full of sounders, some are full of stalks, and some — like this one — are all about timing, persistence, and a strong finish.

Guide Hank kicked off another great Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and the action started early.

The night was crisp and cold — perfect for spotting movement across the open fields. Before long, the team located their first pig of the night out in a cut cornfield, and the stalk was on. It was a textbook setup, quiet and steady, leading to an early success that set the tone for the evening.

As the night went on, the crew covered more ground, exploring new fields and tree lines. Just when things seemed to settle down, another surprise came — a pig dashed out in front of the van, making for a close (and funny) encounter to wrap up the night.

At Pig Problem, we love nights like this — full of action, great people, and memories that last. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and that’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so exciting. Some nights test your patience, and others deliver early surprises — but either way, it’s always an adventure.

Another successful Georgia Hog Hunt in the books with Guide Hank.

Wild Boars Are The Toughest Animals!!

Some Hog Hunts keep you humble — and this was one of them.

Guide Clayton led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and while the first night was quiet, night two brought some long-awaited action. Around 2 a.m., the team finally spotted a Big Boar with the wind perfectly in their favor. Everything lined up just right… until it didn’t.

It took several well-placed rounds before the hog took off for the trees without showing much reaction. Wild hogs are unbelievably tough animals — with thick skin, dense muscle, and layers of tough cartilage that can make even a clean hit look like nothing happened. It’s no wonder they’re one of the hardest mammals in North America to drop clean.

Their hides evolved to protect them from predators and, more importantly, from each other. Boars use their tusks — razor-sharp and dangerous — to fight for dominance, and that thick skin is their armor. It’s part of what makes Boar Hunting in Georgia so challenging and so impressive.

Even though this Boar disappeared into the trees, the Hog Hunt was far from a loss. The hunters were laid-back, great company, and full of stories — one of them even owns a tackle shop in Anchorage and happens to be best friends with Big Dan from Homer, Alaska. Small world moments like that make every hunt special.

That’s the thing about Hog Hunting — it’s unpredictable, real, and never guaranteed. But every night in the field brings new stories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for just how incredible these animals really are.

At Pig Problem, we live for these moments — the challenge, the chase, and the chance to experience the wild side of Georgia Boar Hunting.

Hunting Wild Boars

Some nights out Hunting in Georgia turn quiet — and then suddenly everything happens at once.

Guide Clayton led a father-and-son duo on a Thermal Hog Hunt that started off with great stories and easy conversation. They covered field after field, scanning through the night with their Thermal, but the pigs weren’t showing themselves early on.

Then, around 2 a.m., everything changed. The group spotted a Big Single Boar about 150 yards out in the open. They got set up, took their shots, and dropped the pig clean. Just two seconds later, a Coyote came prancing out and stopped right in front of them — the son didn’t hesitate and dropped it with one perfect shot.

Two animals, one incredible moment. Both the hog and coyote dropped less than 20 feet apart, ending the night with an unforgettable story and plenty of laughs.

At Pig Problem, we love guiding hunts like this — real Thermal Hog Hunting where you never know what the night will bring. We don’t sit in stands or hunt over bait. We move, stalk, and work for every opportunity. That’s what makes it exciting and why hunters travel from all over the country to experience Georgia Hog Hunting with us.
