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.

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 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 2 brought plenty of Hog Activity — but as every experienced hunter knows, seeing Wild Pigs doesn’t always mean easy opportunities.

Darrell returned once again, this time bringing along Izzy, one of his top employees from the electrical field. From the start, she proved exactly why Darrell holds her in such high regard — tough, focused, and fully committed to the Hog Hunt. Long walks, cold conditions, and tough stalks never slowed her down.

Throughout the night, the group encountered multiple hogs across several fields, but the conditions made clean setups difficult. Shifting wind, unexpected deer movement, and hogs slipping into the trees repeatedly disrupted stalks that were otherwise coming together perfectly.

That’s the reality of Thermal Hog Hunting — especially on busy nights when animals are constantly on the move.

Persistence eventually paid off. Late in the night, the team finally got a stalk to come together cleanly. Everything connected on three hogs, and one was successfully recovered in the field. While the others made it into cover, the recovery capped off a night full of effort and determination.

Even without multiple recoveries, this Wild Hog Hunt showcased exactly what Pig Problem is about:
Hog Hunting, conditions, and hunters who understand that success is earned — not guaranteed.

Another busy, hard-fought night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and a group that brought the right mindset to the field.

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.

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.

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.
