Night one of this 3-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia got off to a productive start with steady hog movement across multiple fields.

The first field of the night immediately produced a Large Sounder of roughly 20 hogs. With limited cover and bright moonlight making close approaches difficult, the group closed distance to just under 200 yards and capitalized on the opportunity, resulting in four hogs successfully recovered.

Later in the night, another small group of Wild Hogs was located. Improved positioning allowed the group to close distance more effectively, though only one hog was recovered before the rest moved into the trees.

As the night wrapped up, a single Hog was located just before 1:00 a.m. A controlled setup followed, resulting in a final successful recovery to close out night one.

Despite challenging visibility from the moonlight, night one delivered consistent action and multiple recoveries, setting a strong foundation for the remaining two nights of the Guided Hog Hunt.

The first field of the night immediately produced a Sounder of Hogs that moved in close, allowing for a quick setup and efficient opportunity. Two hogs were successfully recovered during the initial encounter.

After securing those Wild Hogs, continued scanning led to the discovery of a single hog further down the field, which was also recovered after a controlled setup.

The group continued covering ground for several hours, checking additional fields across the area. Later in the night, another single hog was located and pursued. Despite showing strong movement, persistence and follow-up led to a successful recovery, bringing the night’s total to four hogs recovered.

Night one showcased exactly what Guided Hog Hunting with Pig Problem is about — covering ground, finding hogs, and capitalizing on opportunities when they present themselves. It was a productive start heading into the second night of the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night one of this 2-Night Pig Hunt in Americus, Georgia got off to a strong start with good conditions and steady movement.

Early in the night, a single hog was located in tall cut corn near a pivot. With favorable wind, the group was able to make a clean stalk and set up efficiently, resulting in a successful recovery.

After moving on to the next field, a sounder was briefly located but moved off before a setup could be completed. Continued scanning while returning to the vehicle revealed another single hog on the opposite side of the field, keeping the group active and on their feet throughout the night.

Between multiple stalks and plenty of walking, night one delivered solid effort and positive results — a great way to start the Thermal Hog Hunt and build momentum heading into night two.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered an exciting mix of quick opportunities and extended stalks.

Early in the night, a single hog unexpectedly crossed in front of the vehicle at close range. A fast but controlled setup followed, resulting in a successful recovery.

After regrouping and continuing to scan nearby fields, thermal detection picked up another hog moving in a neighboring area. This encounter required a long stalk of over a mile, with steady movement and careful positioning to close the distance. The effort paid off with another successful recovery.

Even on a single-Night Hunt, patience and persistence proved key. This Guided Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia can shift quickly from fast action to long pursuits, all within the same night.

Night 2 – Blog Post:

Night 2 of this 2-Night Large Group Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem reinforced one of the most important lessons in hunting: patience wins.

Both guides, Hank and Clay, covered ground early in the night, checking multiple fields and staying alert for returning activity. Conditions remained challenging, with bright moonlight and increased nighttime traffic, making Wild Hogs extra cautious and quick to react.

Hank focused on a field that showed promise the night before. Rather than rushing the opportunity, he made the strategic decision to wait the hogs out, anticipating they would return if undisturbed. Sure enough, after nearly an hour, the hogs reappeared — but before the stalk could fully develop, passing headlights caused the pigs to lift their heads and notice movement in the open field. They slipped away once again.

Instead of pushing the issue, Hank stayed patient.

Nearly an hour and a half later, the hogs returned for a second time — offering a rare redemption opportunity. This time, everything came together. The setup was clean, the timing was right, and two hogs were successfully recovered, proving that patience and restraint can make all the difference in Thermal Hog Hunting.

On Clay’s side of the split Hog Hunt, opportunities presented themselves as well. Clay located multiple sounders and put the hunters in position for solid opportunities. Despite good setups, the hogs made it into cover before recoveries could be made — a tough outcome, but one that every experienced hunter understands is part of real hunting.

Throughout both nights, the group stayed positive and engaged, understanding that success isn’t guaranteed, especially under bright moonlight and shifting conditions.

Night 2 closed the Wild Hog Hunt on a strong note with two hog recoveries, lessons learned, and a true demonstration of what Georgia Hog Hunting is really about — adapting to conditions, staying patient, and capitalizing when the moment finally arrives.

Another honest, hard-earned hunt in the books with Pig Problem Inc.

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was a true test of patience, communication, and adaptability. With six hunters split between two guides, Hank and Clay, the plan was to maximize opportunity by covering more ground — but the conditions had other ideas.

The night began with an ambitious attempt to split-stalk a sounder, bringing the full group together for one coordinated approach. Unfortunately, swirling wind, dead-silent conditions, and bright moonlight made the stalk extremely unforgiving. Despite careful movement, the hogs picked up on the disturbance and slipped away before an opportunity could fully develop.

After the sounder busted, the decision was made to split up and Hog Hunt separately, giving each guide the chance to adjust tactics and look for new opportunities.

Hank stayed mobile and eventually located a single hog near the edge of a field, positioned close to the road. With the wind working against him, the stalk required a long, patient approach. As if the setup wasn’t challenging enough, two coyotes appeared and pushed the hog toward the treeline, threatening to end the opportunity altogether.

Fortunately, the hog held just inside the edge of the trees. Hank stayed patient, waited for the right moment, and executed a clean setup — resulting in a successful recovery right where the hog stood, with no long drag required.

On the other side of the Wild Hog Hunt, Clay continued working fields and staying persistent but wasn’t able to connect with another hog on Night 1. That’s Hunting — sometimes one side of a split hunt comes together, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Despite the challenges, Night 1 delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is about:
• adapting to difficult conditions
• staying flexible when plans change
• and capitalizing when the opportunity finally presents itself

With the same group returning for Night 2, spirits stayed high and expectations remained realistic. Night 1 was in the books — and the Boar Hunt was far from over.

Cold Front Hog Hunting In Georgia

Not every night in the field brings nonstop action — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank was a reminder of exactly that.

Early in the night, Hank spotted a single hog moving through an orchard, providing the first sign of life. After that brief encounter, the fields stayed quiet. The team continued covering ground, checking multiple areas and staying patient, but no additional animals showed themselves.

As the night went on, a strong cold front pushed through, bringing wind and a noticeable temperature drop. Sudden weather changes like this often shut hog movement down completely, especially when combined with open fields and pressure from earlier activity.

Whether sitting and waiting or staying mobile, sometimes the animals simply aren’t moving — and that’s the reality of all Hunting, not just hog hunting. Every experienced hunter has nights like this.

While the Hog Hunt ended without a recovery, the effort never stopped. Hank stayed committed to checking fields and giving the night everything it had until the very end.

At Pig Problem, we believe in honest hunting experiences — no guarantees, no shortcuts, just real nights in real fields under real conditions.

Some nights are fast.
Some nights are quiet.
And every night is part of the Hunt.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem delivered a little bit of everything — early opportunities, tough conditions, and a strong finish.

The night started off quickly when Guide Zev located hogs early on, creating the first opportunity of the Hog Hunt. A setup came together and one hog was successfully recovered, while the rest of the group slipped away into cover.

As the night went on, fog settled in across the fields, limiting visibility and making travel more challenging. Nights like this test patience and focus, especially when scanning large areas under changing conditions.

Late in the Wild Hog Hunt, persistence paid off. After moving to another area, the group encountered a Large Sounder of roughly 30 hogs right in front of them. The hogs initially spooked and moved across the field, but Zev stayed on them, repositioned, and followed their movement.

That decision led to another opportunity on the far side of the field, where the hunters were able to capitalize and recover two additional Wild Hogs — a strong finish to the night.

Three hogs recovered, heavy fog navigated, and multiple sounder encounters made this a solid and memorable One-Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem. Nights like this are a great reminder of why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is never predictable — and why staying persistent matters.

Wild Hog Hunting in Americus, Ga

Every Hog Hunt is different — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem proved just how fast things can unfold when hogs are active across multiple fields.

Early in the night, the group got their first opportunity on a Single Hog, setting the tone for what would become a busy evening. Like many first encounters on a Night Hunt, nerves and excitement were high, but the group stayed engaged and pushed forward.

Not long after, Guide Zev located a Large Sounder of roughly 30 hogs, creating one of the best opportunities of the night. With multiple hogs in the open, the hunters were able to capitalize on the moment, resulting in several solid connections. While not every hog was recoverable due to movement into cover, the encounter delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is known for — fast-paced action and high-adrenaline moments.

Later in the night, the group found another Sounder, and when a single hog stepped out ahead of the group, the opportunity came together cleanly. With the sounder still holding in the field, the team moved in and made the most of the situation, resulting in five hogs accounted for, with four successfully recovered.

Nights like this showcase the reality of Hog Hunting in Americus, Georgia:
• multiple encounters
• fast-moving sounders
• and opportunities that require quick decisions

Despite the chaos that sometimes comes with sounder activity, the group stayed positive, kept their energy up, and enjoyed the experience from start to finish.

Another productive night in the books with Pig Problem — full of action, learning moments, and the kind of Hunting that keeps people coming back.

Night 2: Dream Thermal Hog Hunt

Night 2:

Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem was the complete opposite of Night 1 — fast-moving, unpredictable, and packed with action from start to finish.

The night opened with a Large Sounder spotted in the corner of a field, prompting a long, patient stalk. The group closed to roughly 300 yards, but the hogs slowly worked their way into the treeline before a safe opportunity presented itself. With no wind or pressure pushing them out, Jordan made the smart call to back off and keep searching.

Later in the night, multiple singles appeared across different areas, but several promising stalks were disrupted by outside movement — including deer unintentionally pushing hogs into cover. That’s Hunting, and every experienced hunter knows those moments are part of the process.

The night truly came alive toward the end.

While scanning a new area, Jordan spotted a single hog, and the setup came together cleanly. The hog was taken, and as the group waited to see if it would move again, the field suddenly erupted with activity.

A sounder began pouring out of the treeline, running directly toward the downed hog. What followed was one of the most chaotic and memorable moments of the entire Hog Hunt. Groups of Hogs — wave after wave — crossed the field, creating multiple opportunities in rapid succession.

After the first wave moved through, another group emerged moments later, allowing the hunters to capitalize once again. In total, more than 30 hogs moved through the field during that final stretch of the night — an incredible sight even for seasoned hunters.

With multiple hogs recovered, photos taken, and the hogs processed, the group wrapped up Night 2 and headed in after an unforgettable finish.

Two nights.
Completely different experiences.
And a perfect example of why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is never predictable.

Another successful Wild Hog Hunt in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan.
