Pig Problem Hog Hunting

Night one of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia brought quieter conditions but still produced results.

Movement was limited across several areas, so the focus remained on covering ground and making the most of each opportunity. Later in the night, a single hog was located and successfully recovered, marking a productive outcome despite slower activity.

Even on nights with minimal movement, consistent effort and adaptability help ensure effective Hog Control for local farmland.

Night 2 of a Georgia Hog Hunt

Night two of this four-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia required patience and persistence.

Several fields were checked throughout the night with little activity early on. Conditions looked promising, but movement stayed limited for hours. As is often the case with Nighttime Hog Control, success came late rather than fast.

Around 2:00 a.m., thermal detection finally picked up activity in one of the fields. Two hogs entered the area and were successfully recovered after careful shot placement and confirmation.

While the night didn’t produce a large group, it was a productive outcome after extended scouting and steady effort. With two nights remaining, the focus stays on locating consistent movement and continuing effective hog control for local farmland.

Every hunt is different, and nights like this highlight why experience, timing, and persistence matter in Wild Hog Hunting across South Georgia.

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was a true test of patience, communication, and adaptability. With six hunters split between two guides, Hank and Clay, the plan was to maximize opportunity by covering more ground — but the conditions had other ideas.

The night began with an ambitious attempt to split-stalk a sounder, bringing the full group together for one coordinated approach. Unfortunately, swirling wind, dead-silent conditions, and bright moonlight made the stalk extremely unforgiving. Despite careful movement, the hogs picked up on the disturbance and slipped away before an opportunity could fully develop.

After the sounder busted, the decision was made to split up and Hog Hunt separately, giving each guide the chance to adjust tactics and look for new opportunities.

Hank stayed mobile and eventually located a single hog near the edge of a field, positioned close to the road. With the wind working against him, the stalk required a long, patient approach. As if the setup wasn’t challenging enough, two coyotes appeared and pushed the hog toward the treeline, threatening to end the opportunity altogether.

Fortunately, the hog held just inside the edge of the trees. Hank stayed patient, waited for the right moment, and executed a clean setup — resulting in a successful recovery right where the hog stood, with no long drag required.

On the other side of the Wild Hog Hunt, Clay continued working fields and staying persistent but wasn’t able to connect with another hog on Night 1. That’s Hunting — sometimes one side of a split hunt comes together, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Despite the challenges, Night 1 delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is about:
• adapting to difficult conditions
• staying flexible when plans change
• and capitalizing when the opportunity finally presents itself

With the same group returning for Night 2, spirits stayed high and expectations remained realistic. Night 1 was in the books — and the Boar Hunt was far from over.

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.

Guiding Hog Hunts

Training Night in the Fields

When you’re learning how to Guide Thermal Hog Hunts in South Georgia, every field becomes a classroom — and last night, Max took Jordan out for a hands-on training hunt to work on spotting, stalking, and reading the wind.

---

Scanning the Farm at Sunset

Max and Jordan parked at the edge of the farm, geared up, and walked toward the center pivot to begin glassing. For the first 10–15 minutes, everything was quiet as they scanned for thermal signatures across the fields.

Then a Sounder of Hogs appeared, slipping out of the treeline and moving along the farm edge.

It was the perfect setup for a learning opportunity.

---

Planning the Approach

With a tailwind working against them, Max used the moment to teach Jordan how to plan a stalk when the wind isn’t ideal. They moved carefully, closing distance while staying as invisible as possible.

They set up once, adjusted, and moved a little closer to get into the right position — with Jordan joking about his pole falling over mid-setup.

Even in training, there’s always something that keeps you humble.

---

The Team Makes Their Move

Once the team was about 100 yards out, they settled in and made their move. One hog stayed in the field while another slipped back into cover — a perfect example of how unpredictable hogs can be, and how quickly things change even when everything is done right.

Jordan experienced firsthand just how tough these animals truly are.

---

Field Work, Photos & Butchering Practice

Afterward, they took photos, then spent time practicing field dressing and butchering — key skills every guide needs to master. Nights like this are what build confident guides and help keep the Pig Problem standard strong.

---

Training Nights Make Better Hunts

Every guide starts somewhere, and nights like this create the foundation for great Hog Hunts later. Between scanning, stalking, wind-reading, setup adjustments, and field work, Jordan got a full training run — and Max passed down the knowledge that makes Pig Problem what it is.

Another good night in the fields with the team.

Our latest Hog Hunting Trip in Americus, GA was led by guides Clayton and Hank on a split Boar Hunt. While it may look like the same Wild Hog from different angles, it was actually three different hogs taken during Clayton’s part of the night. The Thermal Hunt started off slow, but as soon as the moon dropped around 2 a.m., the animals began to move and opportunities opened up. Every shot taken resulted in a hog on the ground — a true sign of a successful night.

Meanwhile, on Hank’s side of the Hog Hunt, the group had a productive outing but decided to call it a night early, heading in around 4 a.m. Even with no photos, it was still a solid Wild Hog Hunt and a reminder that every group’s pace is different.

Wild hogs continue to cause major damage to farmland across South Georgia, and nights like this show why Guided Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus is such an important experience. Whether it’s protecting crops or making unforgettable memories under the stars, each Night Hog Hunt has its own story to tell.

Night 2

The second night of this 2 Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem brought plenty of excitement. Early in the evening, the crew encountered a single hog and got the night started on a high note. Not long after, three more hogs were spotted in the distance, leading to a long stalk across the field. Although those slipped away, the action wasn’t over yet.

Later in the night, a sounder appeared but was spooked by deer before the hunters could move into position. Still, patience and persistence paid off. Around 3 a.m., Guide Kaleb returned to the same field with the group and, just as expected, the hogs were back. After a careful approach, the hunters successfully closed out the night with three more hogs, including a Large Boar.

When the dust settled, the group wrapped up the Boar Hunt with five hogs total over two nights of Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus, Georgia. It was the perfect reminder that success in the field comes down to timing, patience, and determination.

Pig Problem is proud to provide Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia that create not only results but also lasting memories.

2 Nights Of Hog Hunting

Night 1:

The first night kicked off strong. Deer were everywhere, and the energy with this group of hunters was electric. While stalking a Single Hog near the treeline, three more stepped out just 50 yards in front of us—and the guys did exactly what they came here to do. All three Pigs went down. The night was filled with jokes, laughter, and stories we won’t forget.

Night 2:

The second night was quieter. We only spotted one Wild Hog, but it stayed on the move and never gave us a clean shot. Even so, there was no shortage of action—we had deer moving all around us, a bobcat came in close, and even a coyote almost gave us a chance before slipping into the trees.

At the end of the day, it wasn’t just about Hunting Hogs—it was about the memories. Two nights in the field with plenty of laughs, good company, and unforgettable moments.

At Pig Problem, every Hog Hunt is a new challenge—and Guide Kaleb recently led a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded us just how unpredictable and exciting Wild Hog Hunting can be.

Hog Hunting in Georgia is more than just a night out in the field—it's a battle of wits against one of the Smartest, Most Destructive Animals in the South. These invasive Wild Hogs are tearing up farmland across the state, and our job is to track them down using cutting-edge technology and good old-fashioned hunting instincts.

That’s where Thermal Hog Hunting comes in. With High-Tech Thermal and gear, we scan the fields in total darkness, looking for heat signatures as Pigs move through the crops. Thermal gear doesn’t just give us an edge—it makes Night Hunting possible. And Hunting Hogs at Night is often the only way to catch them in action. They’re nocturnal, cautious, and constantly adapting to avoid pressure.

Kaleb and the crew stayed on the move over two nights, carefully glassing fields, tracking patterns, and following signs. Even when the pigs aren’t where we expect them, we learn something every single night. That’s part of what makes Pig Hunting so addicting—it’s never the same twice.

Whether you’re an Experienced Hunter or just getting started, Guided Thermal Hog Hunts give you a chance to step into the night with the right gear, the right guide, and the right strategy to take on Georgia’s Hog Problem.

Book your hunt today—and come experience the thrill of wild hog hunting after dark.

Night 2 Recap

Night two of the Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb brought smoother action and a bit of early excitement.

After heading into the second Farm Field of the night, the team quickly spotted a Sounder moving through the area. With conditions just right, the group had a clean setup and made the most of the opportunity. Two Wild Hogs were successfully recovered and to new homes, with signs that a few others had moved off after the initial engagement.

The rest of the night settled down, with the only movement coming from curious deer crossing through the fields. Even with things going quiet after that first encounter, it was a solid night of Thermal Hog Hunting and a good reminder that anything can happen out here—sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Stay tuned for more updates from the field as Kaleb and the crew continue Tracking Hogs through the South Georgia Farmland under the cover of night.
