This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered steady action and multiple opportunities across several fields.

The night began with a single hog located in open ground, which moved into the trees before a setup could be completed. Continued scouting quickly led to more productive encounters.

A sounder was located shortly after, allowing for a solid setup that resulted in six hogs successfully recovered. Movement remained consistent, and additional sounders were found as the night went on.

Another group of hogs was located later in the night, producing further opportunities. While several hogs were engaged during that encounter, one hog was successfully recovered before the remainder moved off.

Before wrapping up the night, a final group of three hogs was located, resulting in two more successful recoveries to close out the Guided Hog Hunt.

With multiple sounders located and consistent action throughout the night, this Wild Hog Hunt highlighted exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem is about — covering ground, finding hogs, and capitalizing on opportunities across South Georgia Farmland.

Night one of this 3-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia got off to a productive start with steady hog movement across multiple fields.

The first field of the night immediately produced a Large Sounder of roughly 20 hogs. With limited cover and bright moonlight making close approaches difficult, the group closed distance to just under 200 yards and capitalized on the opportunity, resulting in four hogs successfully recovered.

Later in the night, another small group of Wild Hogs was located. Improved positioning allowed the group to close distance more effectively, though only one hog was recovered before the rest moved into the trees.

As the night wrapped up, a single Hog was located just before 1:00 a.m. A controlled setup followed, resulting in a final successful recovery to close out night one.

Despite challenging visibility from the moonlight, night one delivered consistent action and multiple recoveries, setting a strong foundation for the remaining two nights of the Guided Hog Hunt.

Night one of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia got off to a fast and productive start.

The first field of the night immediately produced results, with a sounder located along a tree line. With coordinated positioning and good communication, the group was able to make the most of the opportunity, resulting in multiple successful recoveries early in the evening.

After splitting up to continue covering ground, additional hog activity was located in a nearby field where two separate sounders were detected. Focusing on the larger group led to further recoveries, adding to an already productive night.

Later on, a Large Boar was spotted traveling alone in another field. A careful setup followed, and the boar was successfully recovered, bringing the night’s total to eight hogs.

After several more hours of scanning additional fields and confirming no further hog movement, the night wrapped up as a highly successful start to the Wild Hog Hunt — setting the tone for night two.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered a solid result through patience and careful decision-making.

Early in the evening, a sounder was detected moving through wooded cover, positioned just far enough away to limit opportunities. While property boundaries and angles were favorable, extremely quiet conditions made movement risky, and discretion was the best option at the time.

Later in the night, continued scanning led to the discovery of a single hog actively feeding along the edge of the field. With improved positioning and clear angles, a controlled setup was made, resulting in a successful recovery.

Though brief, this Wild Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia often comes down to timing, awareness, and adapting to conditions. Even on a single-night hunt, focused effort can lead to Effective Hog Control and meaningful results.

Huge Boar!!

The fourth and final night of this Pig Problem thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia was a quiet one — but it ended with a memorable recovery.

After hours of scanning fields and moving through familiar ground, only a single hog was located throughout the night. It quickly became clear this wasn’t just any hog, but a large, mature boar with impressive size and heavy tusks.

A careful setup led to a clean, controlled outcome, and the boar was successfully recovered shortly after. At close inspection, it stood out as one of the thickest boars encountered during the season, with exceptional body mass and striking tusk development.

While the night itself was slow, the quality of the animal made it a fitting way to close out the four-night hunt. It also marked a meaningful final night for guide Clayton, who wrapped up the season hunting alongside landowners he’s built strong friendships with over time.

This hunt served as a reminder that thermal hog hunting in South Georgia isn’t always about numbers — sometimes it’s about patience, timing, and ending on a high note.

Night three of this 4-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia proved to be one of the most eventful nights of the Hunting Trip.

Early in the evening, a newly available field — recently opened back up after Deer Season — was checked for activity. Initial scans showed no movement, but just before moving on, thermal detection revealed a sounder entering the field. A careful setup followed, resulting in multiple successful recoveries before the area went quiet again.

Later in the night, around 1:00 a.m., another sounder was located. This encounter required a long, methodical stalk, with several repositioning attempts to maintain favorable angles and avoid detection. After multiple setups, conditions finally aligned, allowing for a productive outcome.

One hog broke from the group and charged toward the team, creating a fast-moving situation. Despite multiple confirmed hits, the animal continued forward before being successfully stopped at close range. The unexpected moment brought plenty of adrenaline and laughter once the situation was fully under control.

By the end of the night, multiple sounders had been located and several hogs were successfully recovered, making night three a standout example of how unpredictable and exciting Hog Hunting in Georgia can be.

With one night remaining, momentum was high heading into the final stretch of the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night 1 of this two-night hunt with Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how quickly Thermal Hog Hunting can change — and how preparation and communication make all the difference.

The evening began with a thorough range session, where the hunters asked great questions and took time to understand the process. That foundation paid off later in the field, as clear communication and calm decision-making were key throughout the night.

After checking several fields with little activity, the Hog Hunt came alive when Jordan encountered a sounder of hogs feeding in a corn field alongside a large group of deer. Situations like this require extra patience and precision. Jordan walked the hunters through the plan step by step, explaining how hogs and deer often share the same ground — and how to approach the pigs without pushing deer into their path.

Using a narrow opening along the treeline, the group made a quiet, controlled stalk. Once in position, what initially appeared to be just a few hogs revealed itself as a larger sounder bundled together, creating a single, intense thermal signature.

When the opportunity came, the field erupted with movement. The sounder split in multiple directions, and Jordan maintained constant verbal control, calling pauses when needed to ensure everyone’s safety — especially as deer moved through the area. Once the field cleared, the hunters were able to continue safely and effectively.

By the end of the encounter, two hogs were successfully recovered. As the group approached, Jordan even spotted additional hogs still lingering deeper in the field, creating another opportunity — though no further recoveries were made.

Photos were taken, the hogs were processed, and the hunters requested to keep one of the heads as well — a great way to remember a successful first night.

Beyond the action, what stood out most was the hunters themselves. They listened closely, followed commands perfectly, and handled the entire night with confidence — especially impressive for those new to this style of Hog Hunting.

A strong start to a two-night hunt, full of action, learning, and excitement — and a great Night 1 with Guide Jordan in South Georgia.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

Some Hog Hunts stand out not just for the pigs you find, but for the people you Hunt with — and this night with Darrell was easily one of Clay’s favorites of the season. From the moment they met, the two hit it off, talking and laughing through nearly the entire Thermal Hog Hunt. It felt less like guiding and more like chasing hogs with an old friend.

The night couldn’t have started better.
The very first field Clay pulled into held a Big Georgia Boar, standing broadside in the open. Darrell set up calmly, took one clean chance, and the Wild Boar never took another step. A picture-perfect start to the Boar Hunt.

Later in the night, the crew came across a sounder of around 20 hogs. The stalk came together quickly, but the fast-moving group slipped into the treeline before a recovery could be made. Clay searched the edge of the woods thoroughly but wasn’t able to locate any hogs inside the cover — a reminder of how unpredictable and fast wild hogs can be, even under thermal.

Even so, the night remained a great experience. Good company, a Big Boar on the ground, and plenty of stories to take home. Hunts like this are exactly why we love what we do.

We hope Darrell comes back soon — he’s the kind of hunter that makes every mile, every scan, and every stalk worth it.

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.

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.
