From Deer Camp to Thermals

There’s nothing better than welcoming back one of our favorite repeat hunters — and David kicked off his last night in Georgia with a smooth transition from our Pig Problem deer hunt straight into a thermal hog hunt with Guide Clayton.

The action came early. Around 11 PM, Clay spotted a sounder of about 30 hogs, and the team moved into position. The thermals lit up with movement, and the hunters had a strong start, with two hogs recovered in the field and at least three more that made it into the treeline. When pigs hold tight to cover, they can be nearly impossible to locate afterward, but the energy from that first stalk set the tone for a great night.

After a quiet stretch, the crew stumbled onto a single hog around 2 AM. Singles are unpredictable, and this one was no exception. It held still for a moment, then made a hard run for the trees — a reminder that every stalk is different and every pig reacts in its own way. Even without recovering that one, it added to the night’s excitement.

And for the highlight that none of us expected:
While scanning the fields, David captured thermal footage of two bucks locked together, briefly stuck during a sparring match before finally separating and sprinting off. Footage like that is rare — it’s the kind of moment you only witness when you’re out in the fields after dark with thermal gear rolling.

All in all, it was a solid night of thermal hog hunting — early action, late-night surprises, and a returning hunter we’re always grateful to have in camp.

David, we appreciate you choosing Pig Problem again and again. Hunts like this are why we love what we do.

Hog Hunting In Georgia

Some nights you cover miles before anything happens — and that’s exactly how Night 1 started for our South Georgia thermal hog hunt with Guide Clay.

We hit the first field at 8:44 PM and immediately spotted a familiar face: the same lone boar we stalked two nights earlier. Just like last time, he never stopped to feed, never slowed down, never looked back — he powered across the field like he had somewhere important to be. Before we could make a move, he was gone.

From there, we checked field after field, putting in the miles with nothing to show for it. Then we finally saw a pig… except it was casually strolling on the side of the road — the one place we can’t hunt. Figures, right? We drove past with a sour taste in our mouths and kept moving.

About an hour later, our new guide Jordan was checking fields for us and called with a lead on a place we call Honey Bun. It took about 45 minutes for him to get back to us, and by the time we arrived (around 3:20 AM), he thought the pigs had slipped back into the trees. He could barely make out shapes deep in the back, but wasn’t sure if they were pigs or shadows.

Still, we decided to stalk in — just hoping they were still out there. I was on this hunt too, getting footage, and the entire walk we couldn’t see or hear a thing. No movement, no heat signatures… nothing.

Then we made a sharp turn up onto higher ground — and there they were.
A sounder, right where they were supposed to be.

The hunters from upstate New York set up fast and handled business. Before long, five pigs were successfully rehomed(lol), and we loaded up the meat for the ride back to the Windsor so they could get a few hours of rest before Night 2.

Thermal hog hunting is unpredictable — some nights are quiet, some nights take patience, and some end with a surprise sounder waiting right over the hill.

Let’s see what Night 2 brings…

Wild Boar Hunting In Georgia

Another exciting night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (a.k.a. Luke)!

The night started like many of our Wild Hog Hunts do — cruising the backroads and scanning fields for heat signatures. After checking a few spots with nothing moving, the team finally pulled into a field and saw pigs scrambling at the far end. The wind was swirling, so the stalk had to be slow and careful.

They crept closer, staying just downwind until they got in range. Once the thermals lit up, the hunters got set and the chance happened — four hogs re-homed, with one more that managed to make it into the woods.

That’s the kind of night that keeps us hooked on Hog Hunting — every stalk is different, every chance counts, and every Boar Hunt tells a new story.

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Night Hunts across South Georgia, chasing wild hogs that tear up farmland and crop fields. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we hunt, stalk, and go, giving you a true, hands-on Hunting Experience.

Whether you’re chasing your first pig or adding to your tally, Pig Problem delivers the thrill of Thermal Boar Hunting in Georgia — real guides, real pigs, and real fun.

Georgia Hog Hunting

This week’s Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb turned into a night to remember. It started slow with only a few deer, but everything changed when we spotted a single Wild Hog off to the side of a Big Sounder. With the wind in our favor, one clean shot dropped it instantly.

Minutes later, five more broke off and came straight to us. The hunters didn’t miss—dropping all five.

Six Hogs down in one field, all within minutes. A perfect night of action and a Thermal Hog Hunt our crew won’t forget.

At Pig Problem, every Hog Hunt is a new challenge—and Guide Kaleb recently led a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded us just how unpredictable and exciting Wild Hog Hunting can be.

Hog Hunting in Georgia is more than just a night out in the field—it's a battle of wits against one of the Smartest, Most Destructive Animals in the South. These invasive Wild Hogs are tearing up farmland across the state, and our job is to track them down using cutting-edge technology and good old-fashioned hunting instincts.

That’s where Thermal Hog Hunting comes in. With High-Tech Thermal and gear, we scan the fields in total darkness, looking for heat signatures as Pigs move through the crops. Thermal gear doesn’t just give us an edge—it makes Night Hunting possible. And Hunting Hogs at Night is often the only way to catch them in action. They’re nocturnal, cautious, and constantly adapting to avoid pressure.

Kaleb and the crew stayed on the move over two nights, carefully glassing fields, tracking patterns, and following signs. Even when the pigs aren’t where we expect them, we learn something every single night. That’s part of what makes Pig Hunting so addicting—it’s never the same twice.

Whether you’re an Experienced Hunter or just getting started, Guided Thermal Hog Hunts give you a chance to step into the night with the right gear, the right guide, and the right strategy to take on Georgia’s Hog Problem.

Book your hunt today—and come experience the thrill of wild hog hunting after dark.

Crop Protection

When there’s no client Hog Hunt booked, we’re still out there. Crop Protection is a big part of what we do — and it’s our responsibility to Help Local Farmers Protect Farm Fields from Hog Damage.

The night started off slow with plenty of deer moving through, but around 2 a.m., a couple Wild Hogs finally showed up. One was recovered, and another made it to cover after being engaged.

It’s not always fast and furious, but every night in the field counts. Whether it’s a Guided Hog Hunt or a Farm Crop Protection run, we’re always working to keep the pressure on.
