This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Max was a true reminder that Hog Hunting is rarely straightforward — and persistence is often the difference between opportunity and an empty field.
The night began with scattered hog activity. Pigs were located early, but as is common with pressured animals, they stayed on the move and slipped away before a setup could come together. Rather than forcing bad opportunities, Max stayed mobile, continuing to check additional ground and staying ahead of the movement.
As the night went on, hog activity increased across multiple areas. Sounders were spotted in several locations, but shifting positions and timing made clean setups difficult. Still, the effort never stopped. Max continued covering ground, adjusting routes, and staying focused on finding the right opportunity rather than rushing the wrong one.
Late in the night, a large sounder was finally located, creating the best chance of the Wild Hog Hunt. While the setup was challenging and only part of the opportunity could be capitalized on, it was a strong finish after hours of effort and patience.
Nights like this highlight what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about:
covering miles
adapting to constantly moving animals
and staying committed even when conditions don’t line up easily
At Pig Problem Inc, we don’t promise easy nights — we promise honest effort, real hunting, and guides who keep pushing until the last option is checked.
