Night 1 – Blog Post:
Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how patience, persistence, and professionalism come together in real hunting situations.
The night began with several quiet fields, but eventually Jordan picked up a faint thermal signature near a thick brush line. After carefully watching it, the signature revealed itself as a hog slowly working its way toward the open field. The hunters were briefed, and the group moved in quietly, hugging the treeline before cutting into the field.
The first setup came together slowly and deliberately. As the group closed distance and waited for a clear shot opportunity, unexpected outside activity interrupted the stalk and pushed the hog back into cover. After handling the situation professionally and safely, Jordan made the call to move on — a tough decision after a long, patient stalk, but the right one.
Later in the night, persistence paid off.
While scanning another field, Jordan spotted a single hog mixed in with deer activity at the back of the field. The wind was favorable, and the group executed a textbook stalk — moving along the treeline, closing distance, and setting up carefully. After repositioning for a better angle, the hunters were able to connect on the hog.
The hog made it a short distance into the treeline before being located in a safe, accessible area. The recovery went smoothly, and the group wrapped up the moment with photos before processing the hog.
The Hog Hunt closed with one more field check before heading in for the night. Beyond the recovery, what truly stood out were the hunters themselves — positive, patient, and fully engaged throughout every stalk. Their attitude and teamwork made the night especially enjoyable and set the tone for Night 2.
A strong, hard-earned Night 1 in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan — proof that persistence and the right mindset always matter in the field.
