Wild Hog Hunting In Georgia

1-Night Hog Hunts can unfold fast — and this one with Guide Jordan delivered action, challenges, and nonstop learning from start to finish.

After checking several fields early with no activity, Jordan made a call to try new ground. That decision paid off immediately. As soon as the group arrived, they spotted a Sounder of 10+ Wild Hogs feeding on the far side of the field.

The stalk came together perfectly.
The wind was steady, movement was quiet, and the hogs positioned themselves in a low area that naturally funneled them closer. When the first encounter connected, something rare happened — instead of running away, the sounder pushed toward the hunters, creating fast, close-range opportunities.

During the chaos, one hunter experienced a temporary equipment malfunction. Jordan reacted instantly, stepped in, and worked through the issue while the other hunter stayed focused and kept the pressure on the sounder. Clear communication and teamwork paid off, resulting in two hogs recovered from that encounter.

As the team moved in to gather the hogs, another pig unexpectedly broke from the treeline nearby. Jordan quickly set the hunters back up for a follow-up opportunity, but that hog slipped away into cover.

After photos and processing, the Wild Hog Hunt continued. Later in the night, the group encountered a single hog, but a sudden interruption caused it to vanish before a setup could come together — another reminder of how unpredictable Wild Hog Hunting can be.

The final opportunity of the night came when Jordan spotted two more hogs in a different area. The stalk was smooth, the wind was right, and the hunters closed the distance to under 100 yards. Shots were taken, but both hogs made it into thick cover and couldn’t be recovered safely.

Even without additional recoveries, the night showcased exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about:
• adapting on the fly
• managing fast-moving sounders
• handling equipment issues calmly
• making smart, safe decisions in the field

Jordan led with confidence, communication, and patience — and the hunters stayed engaged and positive through every encounter.

Two hogs recovered, multiple stalks executed, and a full night of action under the stars — a solid one-night Hog Hunting Trip with Pig Problem.

Some hunters leave an impression the first time they come out.
Others earn a reputation.

Darrell did both — and then came back again in the same week to do it all over.

On this one-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt, Guide Clayton and Darrell covered ground and found opportunity after opportunity in the form of three different single hogs. Singles are some of the hardest animals to Hunt — they don’t linger, they don’t bunch up, and they’re constantly moving. Each encounter requires patience, timing, and calm decision-making.

Darrell handled all three encounters flawlessly.
Three setups.
Three clean outcomes.

It was one of those nights where everything clicks — not because it’s easy, but because the hunter knows exactly what they’re doing. The kind of night guides remember, and the kind of hunter guides hope comes back (and Darrell did).

Beyond the field success, Darrell is simply one of those people you enjoy being around. Easygoing, confident, and fun to Thermal Hog Hunt with — the kind of guy who makes the miles, the waiting, and the late hours feel effortless.

Another great night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clayton, and one of our favorite repeat hunters of the season.

We’ll be ready whenever Darrell decides it’s time to come back again.

It's Hunting

Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunting Trip with Guide Jordan unfolded into one of those nights that every hunter — no matter the game, weapon, or state — eventually experiences.

The team covered miles of farmland, rotated through multiple hotspots, and checked field after field with no hog activity anywhere. Even areas that are normally full of movement were completely still. The only animals encountered all night were a few deer passing through one of the fields.

This is the reality of hunting.
Not just Hog Hunting — all Hunting.
Deer hunters, duck hunters, elk hunters, turkey hunters… everyone knows that some days the woods and fields are alive, and other days they’re silent. Weather patterns shift, food sources change, pressure moves animals around, and sometimes the timing is simply off.

What matters most is effort — and Jordan gave it 100% from the first field to the last, running loop after loop, double-checking productive spots, and doing everything possible to find a Wild Hog for the hunters.

And just as important: the hunters kept great spirits the entire night. They understood the process. They understood the challenge. And they appreciated the work that went into the Wild Hog Hunt, even without pigs on the ground.

Some nights bring action, some nights bring long walks, and some nights teach patience.
That’s hunting.
And it’s all part of the experience we love sharing at Pig Problem.

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.

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.

Hog Hunting In Americus, Ga

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…

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.

Hog Hunting In Georgia

Some nights you cover miles before anything happens — and that’s exactly how Night 1 started for our South Georgia thermal hog hunt with Guide Clay.

We hit the first field at 8:44 PM and immediately spotted a familiar face: the same lone boar we stalked two nights earlier. Just like last time, he never stopped to feed, never slowed down, never looked back — he powered across the field like he had somewhere important to be. Before we could make a move, he was gone.

From there, we checked field after field, putting in the miles with nothing to show for it. Then we finally saw a pig… except it was casually strolling on the side of the road — the one place we can’t hunt. Figures, right? We drove past with a sour taste in our mouths and kept moving.

About an hour later, our new guide Jordan was checking fields for us and called with a lead on a place we call Honey Bun. It took about 45 minutes for him to get back to us, and by the time we arrived (around 3:20 AM), he thought the pigs had slipped back into the trees. He could barely make out shapes deep in the back, but wasn’t sure if they were pigs or shadows.

Still, we decided to stalk in — just hoping they were still out there. I was on this hunt too, getting footage, and the entire walk we couldn’t see or hear a thing. No movement, no heat signatures… nothing.

Then we made a sharp turn up onto higher ground — and there they were.
A sounder, right where they were supposed to be.

The hunters from upstate New York set up fast and handled business. Before long, five pigs were successfully rehomed(lol), and we loaded up the meat for the ride back to the Windsor so they could get a few hours of rest before Night 2.

Thermal hog hunting is unpredictable — some nights are quiet, some nights take patience, and some end with a surprise sounder waiting right over the hill.

Let’s see what Night 2 brings…
