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.

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.

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.

Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

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.

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.

Guide Hank led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded everyone how quickly things can change in the field.

The night had been quiet until just around midnight, when the team was driving through a wooded stretch and suddenly spotted a Sounder of Pigs about 200 yards out. They stopped fast, geared up, and got ready to make a move.

The wind was shifting along the treeline — never a good sign — and Hank knew that hesitation could send the pigs running. So, in a quick and decisive moment, he adjusted the team’s position and turned a surprise encounter into a successful outcome.

That’s what Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about — patience, timing, and adapting to whatever the night throws your way.

At Pig Problem, we don’t sit and wait. We move, stalk, and strategize to give our hunters the most exciting and ethical Thermal Hog Hunting experience in Georgia. Every night brings something new — new challenges, new lessons, and new memories made under the stars.

Another great night in the books with Guide Hank and his hunters. 🌙

Every Hog Hunt tells a story, and this one with Guide Hank was all about good company, patience, and perfect timing.

The night started like most South Georgia Hog Hunts — checking field after field under the cover of darkness with nothing to show for it early on. But around 2 a.m., things changed. That’s earlier than Hank’s recent average for pig sightings, and this time, it paid off.

The group spotted a Lone Boar wandering through a patch of corn, and the stalk was on. Moving quietly through the stalks, they closed the distance and made it happen — a clean, successful shot and a solid Boar on the ground. Two hunters, one pig, and plenty of good laughs to end the night.

This crew also wanted to keep the memory alive with a European mount boar’s skull — a great way to showcase the trophy and remember the Boar Hunt forever. At Pig Problem, we offer professional European mounts with nationwide shipping, so no matter where you’re from, your mount can be delivered straight to your door safely and securely.

From start to finish, this was another great night of Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia. Whether you’re chasing a single boar or a sounder of ten, Pig Problem offers the full experience — Guided Night Hunts, thermal, and memories that last a lifetime.

Birthday Hunting Trip In Georgia

Photo: Birthday Guided Hog Hunting Trip! @PigProblem

This Guided Hog Hunt was for a 40th birthday celebration, and we set out for a one-night adventure in the fields. The night started off slow—quiet skies, little movement, and even with the scout covering territory for us, pigs were hard to come by.

Around 3:30 AM, they finally caught sight of a group of pigs in the distance, busy rooting in the field. They made a careful stalk and managed to close the distance to about 300 yards. Just as things were lining up, a sharp, high-pitched sound came from the nearby woods—something between a deer blow and a whistle. Whatever it was, it startled the pigs enough to send them running, passing right in front of us before disappearing into the dark.

By the time it all settled down, it was close to 4 AM and time to call it a night. Not every Wild Hog Hunt ends with a shot, but that’s all part of the experience—some nights, the pigs win.
