Night 1 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Guide Jordan started with wide-open fields, cold air, and plenty of miles covered. The first few spots were quiet, but the Hog Hunt quickly came to life when Jordan spotted two hogs running side by side through the field.
The stalk was smooth and controlled. Once the hunters were set up, both hogs presented a clean opportunity.
The left hog dropped instantly with a single chance.
The right hog was hit but escaped deep into the treeline, unable to be recovered safely.
After photos and processing, Jordan continued scanning new fields throughout the night, rotating through several known hotspots including Honeybun, East Mudhole, 39/40, Wildcat, and Pentahope. Despite thorough checks, no additional hogs appeared.
Just before closing out the night, the team encountered a coyote on the final field. They set up for a chance, but the coyote slipped away — a reminder that not every opportunity ends in a recovery, especially on cold, open fields.
Even with slow movement across the farms, the night closed with one solid hog recovered and good momentum heading into Night 2. In Thermal Hog Hunting, every night brings something different — and this was a strong start to the two-night Hunt.
