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.

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.

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…

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.

Guide Hank's Team: A Lesson in Patience

Meanwhile, Guide Hank's night took a different direction. “Very slow night,” Hank reported. Guide Clay txted Hank and raised a poignant question: “Is it God’s plan to not find any Pigs?” Hank, ever the optimist, replied that perhaps God was teaching them patience. Just as the night seemed to drag on, at 3:30 AM, Hank spotted a Lone Pig less than 200 yards from the van on the treeline. After a stealthy approach, they successfully took down the Hog with ease. Here’s the moment captured in a photo:

Hank’s heartfelt wish was that Clay might find faith one day, further emphasizing the camaraderie that Hunting fosters.

Night Two Excitement

Guide Clayton's Renewed Spirit

The second night surged with energy and action for Guide Peanut Protector Clayton and his team. “The only time I saw pigs was at 4 AM,” he recalled. However, patience proved to be the game-changer. Their luck shifted when they encountered a Sounder of Pigs, leading to an exhilarating Hog Hunt where they brought down 5 Wild Hogs! The experience was exhilarating, and the Hog Hunters celebrated their success! Check out the photo of their incredible haul:

Guide Hank's Thrilling Encounter

Hank's team also experienced an Adrenaline-Filled Night of Hunting. He remarked about feeling déjà vu as he spotted Wild Pigs sneaking around in the moonlight. After strategizing their approach, they managed to take down 5 Pigs, with three on the first round. Dragging the Wild Hogs back to the road for a photo op, Hank’s Thermal suddenly revealed six more Wild Hogs emerging from the treeline! With renewed enthusiasm, they geared up once again and successfully bagged two more Pigs, concluding the night with a total of five for the evening. Talk about a thrilling end to the Thermal Hog Hunt! Take a look at their successful evening below:
