Hunting Wild Hogs In Georgia

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.

2 Night Hog Hunting Trip

Night 2 picked up right where Night 1 left off — with freezing temperatures that had the fields shining and fog crystallizing in the beams of our lights. It was the kind of cold that’s rare for South Georgia and completely changes how Wild Hogs behave.

The first field of the night held a single hog, and the team made a clean approach. Even with solid encounters, the hog pushed deep into the trees after covering nearly 500 yards, leaving no opportunity for recovery.

Around midnight, another Lone Hog appeared — this time requiring a mile-long walk to get into position. The stalk was perfect, but this hog reacted the same way as the first, absorbing the impact and disappearing into the treeline.

Sometimes that’s just how wild hogs are built:
tough, driven, and capable of covering incredible distances when pressured.

But persistence always pays off.

Later in the night, the crew located a group of three, and this time everything came together. Two hogs were recovered in the field, while the third slipped into cover that couldn’t be safely searched. Still, it was a strong finish to a cold, challenging night.

One of the most memorable parts of the Thermal Hog Hunt wasn’t even a hog — it was the fog crystallizing in the freezing air, creating a sparkling curtain across the field. A rare and beautiful sight in South Georgia, especially during a Boar Hunt.

Two nights, shifting temperatures, miles walked, and multiple encounters… and another successful Thermal Hunt with Pig Problem.

Wild Hog Hunting In Cold Weather

Cold weather changes everything in Georgia Hog Hunting, and this night proved it. The temperature dropped hard, the air was sharp, and the Pigs were on the move from the moment Guide Clay hit the fields.

Pigs were everywhere, but they weren’t holding still. Over the course of the night, Clay made four solid stalks, each one quiet, patient, and perfectly executed — but every time he closed in, the pigs drifted straight into the treeline before the team could get set.
It was one of those classic right place, wrong time situations that every hunter knows well.

Even with pigs constantly slipping into cover, persistence paid off.
Clay eventually got the team lined up on a pair of hogs, and both were successfully recovered in the field — a clean finish to a night full of movement and challenges.

The fields were soft from recent rain, and at one point Clay managed to get the van stuck (again). But in true guide fashion, a shovel, traction pads, and a lot of determination got everything back on track. That’s part of Hog Hunting farmland — conditions change fast, and guides adapt right along with them.

Despite the cold and the constant pig movement, it was another successful and memorable night of Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem.
Some nights are full of sounders, some are full of stalks, and some — like this one — are all about timing, persistence, and a strong finish.

Hog Hunting or Duck Hunting?

Every now and then, a hunt starts with something you just don’t expect — and tonight’s surprise came when the hunters stepped out of the truck wearing full duck-hunting waders. Not a bad idea with how wet the fields have been from days of rain, just… not something you see every night on a Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia.

And to make it even better, one guy eventually ditched the waders and went full shorts in 48-degree weather. That’s commitment.

The night kicked off with hogs on Wise Road, but movement in the brush made them slip out before the stalk could come together. Not unusual — pigs adapt instantly to sound, scent, and shifting wind, especially when fields are wet and soft from rain.

Later, the hunters took a chance on a pair and got some quick action in before moving west. The big moment came on Ben’s, where a Sounder was working across the field. With patience and a clean setup, the crew managed to recover two hogs — a solid win on a night full of surprises, laughs, and energy.

Through it all, these guys kept great spirits. They were fun, easygoing, and fully embracing the adventure — waders, shorts, cold air and all. That’s what makes Wild Hog Hunting in Georgia such a good time. You never know what you’ll see, how the night will unfold, or what stories you’ll walk away with.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem — where every Hog Hunt is different, and every group brings its own brand of entertainment.

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.

After Night 1, where the only pigs Clay found slipped into the woods before the hunters could even step out of the van, Night 2 delivered one of those classic “right place at the right time” moments that make Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so addictive.

The hunters decided to call it for the night, but Clay kept checking fields on the way back — just in case. And good thing he did. On the very last field they planned to check, he spotted a Single Hog out on Wise Road, visible all the way through the railroad tracks.

Singles are some of the hardest pigs to get close to. They move differently, notice everything, and rarely stay in one spot. But somehow, Clay worked in tight and closed the distance to about 30 yards — a rare opportunity and a perfect setup for the hunters.

The hog made a hard push toward the trees, but the team stayed calm and steady, and the stalk ended successfully. After the slow, freezing first night, this moment felt like pure luck in the best possible way.

Clay said these hunters were awesome to guide Hog Hunting— patient, upbeat, and genuinely excited to be out in the fields. He even said that if they ever come back, he wants to be the one to take them out again. Nights like this show exactly what we love about Pig Problem Hunts:
unpredictable fields, smart pigs, good people, and unforgettable stories.

Another two-night Thermal Hunting Adventure in the books — and Night 2 closed it out with exactly the kind of challenge we live for.

Hunting Georgia In Cold Weather

Sometimes the South Georgia weather has a bigger impact on Wild Hog movement than anything we do in the field — and Night 1 of this Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was a perfect example.

The temperature dropped from the mid-50s the night before to below freezing, and the fields told the story:
empty field after empty field after empty field.

Wild hogs are incredibly sensitive to sudden temperature swings, and when the weather shifts this fast, they often change their patterns completely. What’s usually reliable ground becomes quiet, and even thermal struggle to pick up movement.

Around 4:00 AM, Clay finally spotted three hogs in a distant field. But before he could even pull in and get the van parked, the pigs drifted straight into the trees. They never stopped moving and were likely only in that field for five minutes or less — classic behavior when a cold front pushes through.

Even with the slow night, the hunters kept great attitudes, stayed patient, and were excited for Night 2. Clay said they were awesome.

Weather happens. Slow nights happen. But that’s what makes Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so real. Nothing is guaranteed, and every night brings a different lesson in how these animals adapt to the environment around them.

With temperatures staying cold tomorrow, we’re hoping the hogs adjust quickly and movement picks back up. Night 2 of this Wild Hog Hunt is on the way…

Persistence Pays Off:

A Two-Night Hog Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Some Hog Hunts are fast-paced, and some require patience—but every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Peanut Protector Guide Capt. Clayton recently led a determined group on a 2 Night Hog Hunt, pushing through long hours and late nights to make it happen.

Night 1:

The Waiting Game

The first night was all about persistence. Hours passed without a single sighting, and just when it seemed like the Hogs had disappeared for the night, movement finally caught our attention at 4:30 a.m. A long stalk followed, testing both endurance and strategy, but in the end, the effort paid off. From a distance of around 150-200 yards, the team made it count, wrapping up the night with a well-earned success.

Night 2:

A Quick Start, Then the Quiet

The second night started off promising, with a Wild Hog spotted early at 9 p.m. The excitement was high, but after that, the night took a quiet turn. Despite covering plenty of ground, no more Pigs showed up, making for a long trek back home around sunrise.

These two nights were a testament to the Unpredictable Nature of Hog Hunting—some nights are packed with action, while others test patience and determination. But no matter what, the experience, the challenge, and the adventure always make it worth it.

A Wild Hog Hunting Adventure:

Three Nights Under the Stars with Capt. Clayton

As the temperatures dipped below freezing in South Georgia, a group of four adventurous individuals joined us for an exhilarating 3 Night Wild Hog Hunting experience. Led by our skilled Guide Capt. Clayton, the team came ready to embrace the thrill and challenges that awaited them in the wild.

Night 1: The Hunt Begins

The group, excited for their long-awaited Hunting Adventure—originally planned for October but rescheduled—wasted no time getting into the action. Right off the bat, they showcased their skills and camaraderie, managing to take down 3 Hogs on their first night! It was an exhilarating kickoff that not only set the tone for the rest of the Hog Hunting Trip but also rekindled the spirit of adventure among friends who were thrilled to immerse themselves in the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night 2: The Early Bird Doesn’t Always Get the Worm

“Oh hi there. My name is Clay, and I only see pigs at 4 a.m.” Megan told Clay that he would see Wild Pigs at 2:30. So Guide Clay was upset that she lied to him.

Despite one of the Hunters—who chose to “hold down the fort” in the van—being less inclined to join us on the stalk that night. The Hog Hunters after the Stalk to Wild Hogs set up there tripods and turned on the Thermal. 3,2, Bang! Another one bites the dust. Thermal Hunting is the best.

Night 3: The Search Goes On

Our final night of the Hunting Adventure took us on a quest through the South Georgia Farm Fields, scanning for Hogs as the temperature plunged to what felt like an Arctic chill. The crew remained optimistic, driving around in search of the Elusive Wild Hogs that seem to know how to evade our best efforts. After a long night, we couldn’t find any Pigs, but this didn’t seem to dampen spirits—the thrill of the chase and the joy of the experience outweighed the lack of success in the Hog Hunt.

As we wrapped up the Hunting Trip, it was evident that this group had created lasting Hunting Memories together over these few days of Guided Hog Hunting. Although we didn’t meet all of our goals, the camaraderie shared and experiences gained made it an Unforgettable Hunting outing.

Guided Hog Hunting

Hog Hunting with Guide Hank in Americus, GA

When it comes to the wild world of Hog Hunting, nothing compares to the excitement of a Nighttime Hunting Adventure. Recently, Guide Hank had the pleasure of guiding these two hunters through two unforgettable nights in Americus, GA – it was a trip to remember!

Night 1: The Chase Begins

As the sun set, they made there way to the first field of the night. The air was ripe with anticipation as they spotted two skittish pigs roaming about. Anyone familiar with Hog Hunting knows that persistence is key, and our team was no stranger to that motto. They carefully Tracked the Wild Hogs, maintaining a low profile as they followed them through the field.

After several tense moments, luck was on there side: the Wild Pigs circled back towards them! With steady hands and quick reflexes, they managed to get a shot off, resulting in a successful takedown of one Wild Hog. Victory at its finest!

However, the adventures didn’t stop there. After the initial success, they continued the search but encountered a fallen tree obstructing the path. Rather than letting it halt there excitement, they hopped out of the van and worked together to clear the way.

A true testament to the spirit of adventure! Although the night concluded without additional sightings, they returned to get some sleep for night 2 of Wild Hog Hunting. Night 1 was a great success.

Night 2: The Thrill of the Solo Hunt

After a restful night, they geared up for Night 2, ready for another round of Thermal Hog Hunting. As darkness blanketed the fields, Guide Hank spotted three Solo Pigs grazing in the distance. The excitement in the air was palpable!

The Hog Hunt became a game of strategy as Guide Hank positioned them carefully. Just as they were preparing for the shot, a group of deer startled and bolted, causing 2 of the pigs to retreat. Quick-thinking guided them, and focused the sights on the farthest pig. With precise shots, they successfully took it down.

With another successful harvest under there belt, the guys decided to wrap up their Thermal Hunting early and get some sleep before their long drive home. It was the perfect way to end an outstanding couple of nights of Hunting Wild Hogs.
