Check Out This Pro Hog Hunter

When Hog Hunting Georgia farmland, agricultural pivots are often the center of the action. Our latest Hunting Trip to Americus delivered fast-paced, close-range opportunities that every hunter dreams of during Thermal Hog Hunting.

Early in the evening, a large sounder moved directly toward our position while we were stationed under a pivot. With the wild hogs closing the distance on their own, our hunters were able to get comfortably positioned with targets inside 40 yards. This created a high-percentage opportunity that is rarely seen without professional scouting.

The encounter was a massive success, resulting in seven hogs successfully recovered during a single setup. With clear conditions and steady movement, the group capitalized efficiently before the activity slowed later in the night.

After covering additional acreage and confirming no further movement, we wrapped up a highly productive night of Wild Boar Hunting. Hog Hunts like this highlight how quickly a situation can escalate during Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia, especially when hogs are actively moving through South Georgia agricultural fields. At Pig Problem Inc., we specialize in these high-volume nights.

Night two of this two-night thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia brought a steady close to an already productive trip.

Two single hogs were located over the course of the night. The first was detected at a significant distance in open ground. After careful positioning and follow-up, the hog was successfully recovered, even after covering additional ground.

Later in the night, the final field checked produced another opportunity. A single hog was located feeding along the edge of the field, allowing for a controlled setup and a successful recovery.

With both opportunities capitalized on, night two wrapped up efficiently, bringing the hunt to a strong conclusion. Combined with the action from night one, the two-night hunt demonstrated how persistence and coverage continue to produce results during thermal hog hunting in South Georgia.

Night two of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia tested patience early but delivered strong results by the end of the night.

Initial movement was limited, with a single hog located and briefly stalked before moving off into wooded cover. Despite continued effort and extended driving through multiple areas, activity remained quiet for several hours.

As the night stretched on past 4:00 a.m., experience and instinct played a key role. Acting on a hunch, the group committed to checking one last field — even though it meant going out of the way.

That decision paid off.

Upon arrival, a group of six hogs was located, providing the opportunity that had been building all night. Through careful setup and teamwork, the encounter resulted in multiple successful recoveries, closing out the Wild Hog Hunt on a high note.

Night two was a perfect example of why persistence matters in Thermal Hog Hunting across Americus, Georgia — slow nights can turn productive right up until the end.

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.

A Split Hog Hunt with Pig Problem

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem showcased exactly how productive a Large Group Hog Hunt can be when experienced guides and motivated hunters work together.

With six hunters in the field, Clayton and Jordan coordinated an early plan to bring the entire group together for a full-team stalk on a sounder. The approach was clean, controlled, and efficient — giving everyone the opportunity to be part of the action.

That first encounter resulted in four hogs recovered, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

After the initial success, the hunt split into two teams to continue covering ground. Clayton quickly located another sounder and was able to capitalize, recovering two more hogs. Meanwhile, Jordan found additional hog activity, but those pigs stayed on the move and disappeared into the trees before a safe setup could be made.

That’s the reality of Hog Hunting — sometimes the opportunity comes together, and sometimes the animals dictate the outcome.

Overall, it was a smooth, efficient, and productive night, made even better by having repeat hunters in the group who understood the pace and expectations of Thermal Hog Hunting.

Another strong one-night Thermal Hunt in the books with Pig Problem Inc.

Night 2 brought plenty of Hog Activity — but as every experienced hunter knows, seeing Wild Pigs doesn’t always mean easy opportunities.

Darrell returned once again, this time bringing along Izzy, one of his top employees from the electrical field. From the start, she proved exactly why Darrell holds her in such high regard — tough, focused, and fully committed to the Hog Hunt. Long walks, cold conditions, and tough stalks never slowed her down.

Throughout the night, the group encountered multiple hogs across several fields, but the conditions made clean setups difficult. Shifting wind, unexpected deer movement, and hogs slipping into the trees repeatedly disrupted stalks that were otherwise coming together perfectly.

That’s the reality of Thermal Hog Hunting — especially on busy nights when animals are constantly on the move.

Persistence eventually paid off. Late in the night, the team finally got a stalk to come together cleanly. Everything connected on three hogs, and one was successfully recovered in the field. While the others made it into cover, the recovery capped off a night full of effort and determination.

Even without multiple recoveries, this Wild Hog Hunt showcased exactly what Pig Problem is about:
Hog Hunting, conditions, and hunters who understand that success is earned — not guaranteed.

Another busy, hard-fought night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and a group that brought the right mindset to the field.

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.

Hog Hunting In Georgia

Some nights you cover miles before anything happens — and that’s exactly how Night 1 started for our South Georgia thermal hog hunt with Guide Clay.

We hit the first field at 8:44 PM and immediately spotted a familiar face: the same lone boar we stalked two nights earlier. Just like last time, he never stopped to feed, never slowed down, never looked back — he powered across the field like he had somewhere important to be. Before we could make a move, he was gone.

From there, we checked field after field, putting in the miles with nothing to show for it. Then we finally saw a pig… except it was casually strolling on the side of the road — the one place we can’t hunt. Figures, right? We drove past with a sour taste in our mouths and kept moving.

About an hour later, our new guide Jordan was checking fields for us and called with a lead on a place we call Honey Bun. It took about 45 minutes for him to get back to us, and by the time we arrived (around 3:20 AM), he thought the pigs had slipped back into the trees. He could barely make out shapes deep in the back, but wasn’t sure if they were pigs or shadows.

Still, we decided to stalk in — just hoping they were still out there. I was on this hunt too, getting footage, and the entire walk we couldn’t see or hear a thing. No movement, no heat signatures… nothing.

Then we made a sharp turn up onto higher ground — and there they were.
A sounder, right where they were supposed to be.

The hunters from upstate New York set up fast and handled business. Before long, five pigs were successfully rehomed(lol), and we loaded up the meat for the ride back to the Windsor so they could get a few hours of rest before Night 2.

Thermal hog hunting is unpredictable — some nights are quiet, some nights take patience, and some end with a surprise sounder waiting right over the hill.

Let’s see what Night 2 brings…

Hunting Wild Hogs With Thermal

Some nights test your patience, your wind reading, and your ability to adapt — and this was one of those nights. Guide Hank led this 1-Night Hog Hunt, and even with challenging conditions, the group still ended the night with solid success.

A Pig Right Out of the Gate

The Wild Hog Hunt began when the team spotted a hog from the road. As soon as they pulled into the field, the hog slipped into the treeline directly in front of them. That’s how fast things can change in South Georgia farmland — timing and movement matter.

A Sounder on the Opposite Side

Hank turned the group around and checked the opposite side of the field, where a full sounder was already out feeding. The wind wasn’t ideal, and the positioning made the approach tricky.

Even with those challenges, the team made the most of the opportunity and managed to connect with one of the hogs, though it moved off before they could reach it.

Real Hog Hunting isn’t always perfect. It teaches you how tough, aware, and resilient these animals are.

Returning to the First Spot

While searching the fields, the team noticed another hog back on the side where they originally started. They circled back, moved in carefully, and this time everything came together smoothly. The hog stayed in the open long enough for Hank to guide the group into a clean, controlled approach, ending with a successful recovery.

A Challenging but Successful Night

Every Thermal Hog Hunt is different. Nights like this remind you why Georgia Hog Hunting is such a unique experience.
