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.

Night one of this two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia started like many do — steady searching and scanning fields for movement.

Before long, thermal detection picked up a sounder positioned near the center of a field. To avoid detection, the approach was made from the treeline, which temporarily caused loss of visual contact. Based on experience and terrain layout, attention shifted to a nearby low area that wasn’t visible until closing the distance.

That decision paid off.

The sounder was located exactly where expected, allowing for a controlled setup and a highly productive outcome. By the end of the night, six hogs were successfully recovered, making for a strong and efficient first night of Hog Control.

Strategic movement, terrain awareness, and patience were key factors in the success of night one.

Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia tested every part of the process — from timing and weather to patience in the field.

Early in the night, Hogs were located and a stalk began to take shape, but unexpected wildlife movement disrupted the setup before it could fully come together. Shortly after, another opportunity developed, only to be affected by swirling wind, making it difficult to maintain a clean approach.

As the night went on, conditions continued to deteriorate. Thick fog rolled in, quickly becoming some of the heaviest fog encountered all season. Visibility dropped significantly, limiting both scanning distance and safe movement through the fields.

Despite continued effort and covering ground, hog activity completely shut down under the combination of fog, wind, and pressure, and no recoveries were made on Night 2.

While the second night didn’t produce the same results as Night 1, it was a true example of what Hog Hunting looks like. Weather, wind, and visibility can change everything — even in areas that were productive just hours before.

At Pig Problem, we Wild Hog Hunt honestly. Some nights are fast and exciting, others are slow and technical — and both are part of the experience.

Two nights.
Two very different outcomes.
One Georgia Hog Hunt.

Sometimes everything comes together at just the right time — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem was exactly that.

The night kicked off with an early sounder spotted moving across the field, leaving very little time to waste. Guide Hank quickly got the group moving, beginning a steady stalk as the hogs continued to shift away through the field.

Rather than rushing the setup, the team stayed patient and worked the terrain. The sounder eventually settled into a low spot near thick brush, creating the perfect opportunity. Once in position, the hunters were able to capitalize on the moment.

The result was a high-energy encounter with six hogs successfully recovered, making for an excellent night of Hog Hunting and a great haul of meat. Encounters like this are what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about — quick decisions, controlled movement, and making the most of the opportunity when it presents itself.

From early action to a strong finish, this Wild Hog Hunt was a great example of how effective Georgia Hog Hunting can be when everything lines up.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Hank.

Night 1: Wild Hog Hunting

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how patience, persistence, and professionalism come together in real hunting situations.

The night began with several quiet fields, but eventually Jordan picked up a faint thermal signature near a thick brush line. After carefully watching it, the signature revealed itself as a hog slowly working its way toward the open field. The hunters were briefed, and the group moved in quietly, hugging the treeline before cutting into the field.

The first setup came together slowly and deliberately. As the group closed distance and waited for a clear shot opportunity, unexpected outside activity interrupted the stalk and pushed the hog back into cover. After handling the situation professionally and safely, Jordan made the call to move on — a tough decision after a long, patient stalk, but the right one.

Later in the night, persistence paid off.

While scanning another field, Jordan spotted a single hog mixed in with deer activity at the back of the field. The wind was favorable, and the group executed a textbook stalk — moving along the treeline, closing distance, and setting up carefully. After repositioning for a better angle, the hunters were able to connect on the hog.

The hog made it a short distance into the treeline before being located in a safe, accessible area. The recovery went smoothly, and the group wrapped up the moment with photos before processing the hog.

The Hog Hunt closed with one more field check before heading in for the night. Beyond the recovery, what truly stood out were the hunters themselves — positive, patient, and fully engaged throughout every stalk. Their attitude and teamwork made the night especially enjoyable and set the tone for Night 2.

A strong, hard-earned Night 1 in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan — proof that persistence and the right mindset always matter in the field.

Night 2 of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was simple, clean, and exactly how a good stalk is supposed to feel.

After covering fields throughout the night, Clay and his hunters finally located a single hog moving alone. Lone pigs are some of the most unpredictable animals in the field — they travel differently, react differently, and don’t always hold still like larger sounders do.

Still, the team moved in quietly, using the wind and terrain to their advantage. A steady, patient approach put them right where they needed to be, and before long, the single was successfully taken — a solid ending to a Hog Hunt that required focus and good teamwork.

That’s the beauty of Hog Hunting in Georgia:
Some nights are fast-paced sounders, and some come down to a single animal and a perfectly executed stalk. Both are equally rewarding, and both highlight why Thermal Night Hunting is one of the most thrilling experiences outdoors.

Another successful night in the books with Guide Clay and Pig Problem — professional guides, real Thermal Gear, and Wild Hog Hunts that always bring something different.

1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt Recap With Guide Hank | Pig Problem

Some nights in South Georgia remind you just how smart and unpredictable Wild Hogs can be — and this 1-Night Hog Hunt with Guide Hank was one of those nights. Even without pigs recovered, it was still a fun, high-energy hunt full of movement, learning moments, and close calls.

A Stalk That Changed in Seconds

Around 1 AM, Hank and the group began a careful stalk on a sounder feeding near the edge of the field. Everything looked perfect — wind checked, approach planned, hunters set.

But just as they settled into position, the hogs shifted direction and moved across the road onto a neighboring property we don’t have access to. It all happened right in front of everyone, and the whole group watched the entire thing play out in real time.

Sometimes timing is everything, and this was one of those moments where the hogs won the chess match.

3 AM Pigs With Tough Wind

Later in the night, around 3 AM, Hank located another group. The drone pilot was up helping scan the fields, and they worked together to get everyone into a good position.

The problem?
The wind was blowing straight toward the hogs.

They still managed to set up quietly and get a clear line on the group, but the wind and angle worked against them. The hogs slipped over the crest of a hill, dropped out of sight, and disappeared into the cress of the hill before the team could make a clean approach.

Wild hogs don’t need much of an advantage — and the wind gave it to them.

Lots of Action, Lots of Movement

Even without a recovery, it was a night Thermal Hog Hunting full of:

• Multiple hog sightings

• A full stalk with the entire group watching it unfold

• Hogs changing direction instantly

• Thermal drone support helping scan multiple fields

• Challenges from wind, terrain, and timing

Real Georgia Hog Hunting isn’t scripted, and this night was a perfect example of how unpredictable these animals are.

A Fun Night With the Group

Hank said it best:
“Good fun — just no pigs down tonight.”

Some nights are about the chase, the movement, the stalks, the close calls, and the teamwork. This group stayed positive, got through the tough moments, and made the best out of every opportunity.

When everything clicks — teamwork, timing, and technology — Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia turns into something unforgettable.

Guide Clay kicked off a wild night that started with a massive sounder of about 20 pigs (plus plenty of little ones). I was there for this one, we had Daniel flying the drone and calling Clay over once we spotted the group out in the field. We geared up, planned our approach, and began a long, careful stalk.

Once we were in range, the thermal lit up the field. Within seconds, we had success with two pigs down and plenty of excitement to kick off the night. As we were taking photos, the Thermal Drone picked up more movement just 20 yards away, so we reset quickly and moved again. That second stalk led to ten more pigs recovered, making it an incredible double run — fast-paced, smooth teamwork, and some amazing footage to come.

After I left, Clay and the hunters continued the night with another stalk, bringing the total to 14 pigs spotted and 12 recovered before sunrise. A perfect example of how much ground and action a good thermal setup can cover in just one night.

Thermal Hog Hunting is the real deal — high-tech, high-energy, and totally unpredictable. Between the heat signatures, drones, and quick field decisions, no two Hog Hunts are ever the same.

That’s what makes Pig Problem special — we combine real field knowledge, advanced thermal gear, and guides who know how to adapt fast. Nights like this show why Georgia Hog Hunting is unlike anywhere else in the country.

This week’s Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb turned into a night to remember. It started slow with only a few deer, but everything changed when we spotted a single Wild Hog off to the side of a Big Sounder. With the wind in our favor, one clean shot dropped it instantly.

Minutes later, five more broke off and came straight to us. The hunters didn’t miss—dropping all five.

Six Hogs down in one field, all within minutes. A perfect night of action and a Thermal Hog Hunt our crew won’t forget.

A Hunt to Remember

Guide Hank led the charge on a 2 Night Hog Hunt packed with action, laughs, and a few surprises. From spotting a massive group of pigs just out of reach to chasing one determined hog over a hill, this trip had all the makings of a classic Pig Problem Adventure.

Night One:

Off to a Strong Start

The Hog Hunt kicked off with success in the very first field. We got into motion on a Sounder and walked away with three pigs in new homes. After gathering the everything, we continued the search—covering ground and scanning fields through thermal equipment.

At one point, we spotted a huge group of hogs, but they were just beyond our boundary. Still, watching them move through the fields was a thrill in itself. As the night wound down, we managed to add one more unexpected bonus to the list—a Coyote spotted and tracked before heading back in for the night.

Night Two:

One Hog, One Hill, and a Lot of Laughs

The second night brought a change of pace. As Hank put it, “What’s better than beer and hot glass?” (he is talking about Americus Ga Beer Fest) While there may be a few contenders, it’s hard to top a good night under the stars Thermal Hunting.

We ended up working for a Single Pig that didn’t get re-homed easy. It made a break for it over a hill, and we followed with a mix of anticipation and excitement, not knowing what we’d find. Sure enough, the effort paid off—we found our prize and got some great photos to wrap up the night. Very thankful to relocate this Piggy.

Another Successful Adventure

This Wild Hog Hunt had everything: quick action, good people, great laughs, and the kind of moments that stick with you long after the night ends. Whether you’re Hunting Pigs or just soaking in the full experience, a Hunt with Pig Problem always delivers.
