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.

When you book a Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, you never know what the first field of the night will bring — and this group started their 2-night Hog Hunt with exactly the kind of excitement hunters hope for. Guide Hank led the way for Night 1, and within minutes of rolling into the fields, the action began.

Spotting 5 Hogs in the First Field

The night kicked off strong when the group located five Wild Hogs right away. Because of the wind direction and the slope of the ground, the hogs stayed tucked just out of sight until the team got within roughly 60 yards.

A slow, controlled approach was key. Hank positioned everyone carefully so the group could make their move together once the hogs were fully in view.

A Clean Approach + Solid First Push

When the team finally stepped into position, things came together fast. The hunters connected with three hogs, while the remaining two slipped into the treeline. Had they not been that close to cover, the outcome could’ve been even bigger — but that’s part of real Georgia Hog Hunting. The terrain always keeps you guessing.

Covering Ground Across Multiple Fields

After the initial excitement, Hank and the crew continued moving across several more fields. Deer were active throughout the night, and the group stayed on the lookout for more hogs as they worked through the property.

Even without additional hog encounters, the night closed out strong. Three hogs on Night 1 is a solid start to any 2 Night Hog Hunt with a group of five.

Why Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia Is So Successful

Pig Problem specializes in Thermal Hog Hunts that take place on active farmland, where hogs are always on the move and causing damage. That’s why nights like this — locating hogs quickly, adjusting for wind, reading the terrain — are part of what makes Thermal Hunting here so unique. Every field offers a new opportunity.

Wrapping Up Night 1 — On to Night 2

Night 1 was a successful kickoff to this group’s 2-night Thermal Boar Hunt with Hank. With three hogs recovered and plenty of wildlife movement, the stage is set for a big Night 2.

Stay tuned for the full recap.

Thermals, Teamwork, and 14 Pigs in One Night

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.

Guide Hank kicked off another great Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and the action started early.

The night was crisp and cold — perfect for spotting movement across the open fields. Before long, the team located their first pig of the night out in a cut cornfield, and the stalk was on. It was a textbook setup, quiet and steady, leading to an early success that set the tone for the evening.

As the night went on, the crew covered more ground, exploring new fields and tree lines. Just when things seemed to settle down, another surprise came — a pig dashed out in front of the van, making for a close (and funny) encounter to wrap up the night.

At Pig Problem, we love nights like this — full of action, great people, and memories that last. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and that’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so exciting. Some nights test your patience, and others deliver early surprises — but either way, it’s always an adventure.

Another successful Georgia Hog Hunt in the books with Guide Hank.

Wild Boar Hunting In Georgia

Another exciting night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (a.k.a. Luke)!

The night started like many of our Wild Hog Hunts do — cruising the backroads and scanning fields for heat signatures. After checking a few spots with nothing moving, the team finally pulled into a field and saw pigs scrambling at the far end. The wind was swirling, so the stalk had to be slow and careful.

They crept closer, staying just downwind until they got in range. Once the thermals lit up, the hunters got set and the chance happened — four hogs re-homed, with one more that managed to make it into the woods.

That’s the kind of night that keeps us hooked on Hog Hunting — every stalk is different, every chance counts, and every Boar Hunt tells a new story.

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Night Hunts across South Georgia, chasing wild hogs that tear up farmland and crop fields. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we hunt, stalk, and go, giving you a true, hands-on Hunting Experience.

Whether you’re chasing your first pig or adding to your tally, Pig Problem delivers the thrill of Thermal Boar Hunting in Georgia — real guides, real pigs, and real fun.

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.

Night two of this two-night South Georgia Hog Hunt with Pig Problem was one for the books.

Guide Clayton and his Hunters were locked in from the start — moving with precision and patience that made it look like they’d done this a thousand times before. The result? Three Wild Hogs down under the South Georgia night sky.

They almost had a fourth, but that last pig managed to slip into chest-high grass and earned himself a bit of peace for the night. Still, the team couldn’t have asked for a better ending to their Guided Thermal Hog Hunt.

Clayton shared a cool insight after the Wild Hog Hunt: for the last two days, he’s been eating only meat, salt, and water — living like hunters did long ago. “I wanted to feel what it was like to be human before everything got easy,” he said. “And I feel amazing.”

That mindset sums up what Pig Problem is all about — reconnecting with the primal side of Hunting, using modern Thermal Technology and equipment to do what humans have done for centuries: hunt, adapt, and thrive. Just in a 20th century way.

If you’re ready to experience Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia, Pig Problem delivers the real thing — Thermal Hog Hunting, Wild Boar action, and stories you’ll remember for life.

Guided Hog Hunting

Night one came and went without a single Pig in sight. Sometimes that’s just how it goes — long hours, good company, and a reminder that success in Hog Hunting isn’t guaranteed.

But by night two, things finally turned around. Zev and his hunters located a sounder of about ten pigs over on Pryor Road. He got the group in close for the perfect setup, and when it was time to fire, they managed to drop one. Not the whole sounder, but enough to bring home some meat and a story to tell.

They later spotted more pigs over at Bazemoor, but the group couldn’t quite close the distance before the pigs slipped away into the night. Even so, everyone got to see what South Georgia Thermal Hunting is all about — long nights, fast decisions, and plenty of excitement once the pigs show up.

Guiding isn’t always easy, but Zev kept things moving and made sure everyone had a good time. Sometimes the pigs win, and that’s what keeps us all coming back for more. That’s the name of the game of Hunting.

Some nights out here in South Georgia test your patience, your grit, and your faith all at once. This was one of those nights. Guide Hank and his hunter, Ryan, were covering field after field with no pigs in sight. The clock crept toward 4 a.m.—prime time for calling it quits—but Hank wasn’t ready to give up.

As they rolled up on the last two fields, Hank said a quick prayer, asking the Lord to bring out some pigs before the night was over so Ryan could head home with some meat and a story worth telling. “We both said amen and kept on moving,” Hank said.

The first field was empty. The second didn’t look much better. Hank stopped on a high spot and scanned the area—nothing, not even a deer. Disappointed, he decided to wait it out a little longer, giving it until the last possible minute before packing up. When he powered the optic back on for one final scan, the field had completely changed. “It was littered with pigs,” he said with a laugh.

Hank grabbed Ryan and set him up for the shot. When it was over, Ryan had taken down three pigs and filled the cooler with a good haul of meat.

It was a perfect ending to a long night—and a reminder that sometimes, all you can do is Hog Hunt on a prayer.

Birthday Hunting Trip In Georgia

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.
