The versatility of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia was on full display during our recent outing with guide Jordan. The night began with a high-stakes predator encounter, where our scouting team identified a pack of four coyotes. While the long-range setup from 200 yards proved challenging, it set a tactical tone for the rest of the evening.
After monitoring several sectors, we relocated, where our thermal identified a high concentration of activity. We observed three distinct groups of Wild Hogs scattered across the acreage. Managing multiple sounders requires a disciplined approach to ensure we don't alert one group while pursuing another.
We focused our efforts on a group of three hogs feeding near a pivot irrigation system. Navigating around large-scale farm equipment requires extreme care; the team had to stay low to maintain a safe line of sight beneath the pivot pipes. The patience paid off as we closed the distance, allowing our hunters to execute a synchronized setup. With a single shot each, two hogs were successfully recovered.
We concluded the night by honoring the 'field-to-table' tradition. After a quick group photo to celebrate the success, the team assisted in butchering the harvest for the clients to take home. This blend of technical Thermal Hog Hunting and successful meat recovery is exactly what makes the Georgia Hunting experience so unique.
