A 2-night hog hunt is all about persistence. If you find a "hot spot" on Night 1, you can bet the sounder will be back—and on Night 2 of this mission (that doesn’t happen every time), Guide Hank took the team right back to the silage pile to see if the buffet was still open…

The Repeat Strike: Thermal Hunting in the Silage

Sure enough, the thermal signatures were back in the same spot. The team used the same stealthy approach from the previous night, creeping toward the group as they fed on the silage.

Once the team had their lanes, they opened there chances. We confirmed one hog gotten on the spot, while a few others—feeling the pressure —managed to limp into the thick cover. In the world of Wild Boar Hunting, returning to a successful site is one of the best ways to ensure your guests stay "on the meat" for the duration of their Hunting Trip.

As the night progressed and the hog activity slowed down, the team pivoted to one of the most popular things to hunt in 2026: Coyote Hunting.

Why Predator Control Matters

Coyotes are the "ghosts of the woods," and they are one of the primary predators affecting local livestock and fawn populations in South Georgia. At Pig Problem, we utilize the best thermal gear to level the playing field against these high-speed targets.

During the second half of the night, Hank’s thermal picked up a lone coyote moving through the perimeter. The team executed a rapid-response stalk, closing the gap and successfully getting the predator. Adding Predator Hunting to your thermal hunting session adds a layer of intensity that most hunters never get to experience.

The Best Coyote Hunting in the United States

Whether you are here for the hogs or looking to test your skills against a wary predator, our guides are experts in Nighttime Predator Hunting. We understand the movement patterns of Georgia's coyotes and how to utilize high-end optics to secure a harvest in total darkness.

While we strive for high-volume harvests every night, Hog Hunting in Georgia sometimes requires a heavy grind. The second night of our recent multi-day trip in Americus presented much slower hog movement than the opener, but it still provided a massive win for the group.

Hog activity was limited throughout the evening, with only one single hog located. Despite our guides covering significant ground and checking multiple South Georgia properties, the hogs remained elusive. However, this is exactly why Thermal Hog Hunting is so effective—it allows us to pivot to predator control when the hogs aren't moving.

While the hogs were scarce, the group was able to capitalize on a long-time goal during our Night Hog Hunts. We successfully located and recovered a Coyote, marking a milestone that several hunters in the group had been chasing for years. It turned a slow night into a highly rewarding experience.

Even nights with limited movement are a vital part of Wild Boar Hunting. Staying patient, adapting to the weather, and continuing to scout sets the stage for success on the final night of a multi-day Hog Hunt. At Pig Problem Inc., we are committed to the Thermal Hunt, whether we are tracking sounders or managing predators across Georgia farmland.

The Reality of Hog Hunting:

A Night with Capt Max

At Pig Problem Inc, every Thermal Hunt is different—sometimes it’s fast action, sometimes it’s a grind, and sometimes, it’s a mix of both. On this 1 Night Thermal Hunt, Guide Capt Max and his Hunters got a little bit of everything: a first-time predator, close encounters with Wild Hogs, and a reminder that all of Hunting is never a guarantee.

The night started strong when Harry dropped his First Coyote. It was a textbook setup—Calling a Coyote in to about 50-60 yards before sealing the deal. A great way to kick things off.

Next up: Wild Pigs. They got on a Sounder early, but despite solid effort, nothing hit the ground. Then came two more opportunities—one pair and one single. But when the wind shifted, the pair caught their scent and vanished. The single? Pulled a Houdini and disappeared into the night.

“Hunting is 100% Present Opportunity,” Capt Max said. “Skill, luck, time all have some play. But mainly, going outside is the biggest part.” That’s the truth of it—showing up, putting in the time, and being ready when the moment comes.

And speaking of putting in the time—Max has spent the past four nights sleeping in the van, getting home at 8-9 a.m. This isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. “Everyone wants to be a Hog Hunter for the glory,” he joked. But the reality? It’s long nights, hard-earned take downs, and doing whatever it takes to Solve The Pig Problem.
