A 2-night hog hunt is all about persistence. If you find a "hot spot" on Night 1, you can bet the sounder will be back—and on Night 2 of this mission (that doesn’t happen every time), Guide Hank took the team right back to the silage pile to see if the buffet was still open…
Sure enough, the thermal signatures were back in the same spot. The team used the same stealthy approach from the previous night, creeping toward the group as they fed on the silage.
Once the team had their lanes, they opened there chances. We confirmed one hog gotten on the spot, while a few others—feeling the pressure —managed to limp into the thick cover. In the world of Wild Boar Hunting, returning to a successful site is one of the best ways to ensure your guests stay "on the meat" for the duration of their Hunting Trip.

As the night progressed and the hog activity slowed down, the team pivoted to one of the most popular things to hunt in 2026: Coyote Hunting.
Coyotes are the "ghosts of the woods," and they are one of the primary predators affecting local livestock and fawn populations in South Georgia. At Pig Problem, we utilize the best thermal gear to level the playing field against these high-speed targets.
During the second half of the night, Hank’s thermal picked up a lone coyote moving through the perimeter. The team executed a rapid-response stalk, closing the gap and successfully getting the predator. Adding Predator Hunting to your thermal hunting session adds a layer of intensity that most hunters never get to experience.
Whether you are here for the hogs or looking to test your skills against a wary predator, our guides are experts in Nighttime Predator Hunting. We understand the movement patterns of Georgia's coyotes and how to utilize high-end optics to secure a harvest in total darkness.

When you book a 2-night hog hunt with the Best Hog Hunting in the United States, you aren't just paying for a guide; you’re paying for a tactics. On Night 1 of this latest Wild Hog Hunt, Guide Hank proved that knowing the habits of your target is just as important as having the right gear.
After scanning several primary fields with no activity on the open dirt, Hank pivoted his strategy. He knew that during certain times of the year, hogs will skip the open grazing and head straight for the high-calorie "buffet" found in silage piles.
Using thermal imaging, Hank located the heat signatures buried deep in the silage, munching away and completely unaware of the team’s approach. This "interesting setup" required a stealthy, close-range approach to ensure the hunters had a clear line of chance on the elevated Wild Hogs.
The team got into position and waited for the perfect window. Once the signal was given, the first hog was gotten immediately where it stood. The second animal—startled by the chance—bolted for cover, but the team stayed composed. With a perfectly led follow-up chance, the second hog gotten on the run.
In Thermal Hog Hunting, a successful "running chance" is the ultimate test of a hunter’s skill and a guide’s coaching. Securing two harvests in such a unique environment made for an incredible start to this 48-hour mission.
This is exactly why we are the top choice for Hog Hunting in Georgia. We don't just drive in circles; we hunt with intent. Whether the pigs are in a "bowl" system, a treeline, or a silage pile, our team has the experience to find them and the gear to help you take them home.

When you are looking for Hog Hunting in Georgia, it often comes down to one perfect moment. Guide Hank’s recent session was a masterclass in patience and precision—proving that even on a quiet night, our thermal gear and expert guiding ensure that when the opportunity arrives, we make it count.
After scouting several properties, Hank’s thermal located a single traveler deep in the field. The team didn't hesitate. They executed a stealthy approach, walking right up to the target's position without being detected.
The result was a textbook harvest. With a single, well-placed chance, the hog was re-homed right where it stood. It’s one of the most rewarding sights in Thermal Hog Hunting: seeing the animal sink to its feet instantly, a testament to the effectiveness of our equipment and the composure of our guests.
Following the success of the first field, Hank and the group spent several hours covering additional acreage. While the sounders stayed in the thick cover for the remainder of the night, the team utilized the time to scan the "hot zones" and monitor field activity.
In Wild Hog Hunting, "success" isn't just measured by the number of animals; it's about the quality of the stalk and placement. One clean, professional harvest is a win any night of the week.

Hog Hunting Guide: Hank
Hunting Operation: Night 1 of a 2-Night Sequence
Thermal Hunting Location: Americus, Georgia
When you’re out with Pig Problem, the goal is clear: effective field management and a successful harvest. Night 1 with Hank’s group was a perfect example of how fast things move when you’re tracking movement in the dark.
The evening was productive early on. Using our thermals, the team located a pair in the open. As the encounter unfolded, the group managed to secure one hog immediately.
The second Wild Hog showed every sign of a successful connection—spiraling and losing its footing—but in the split second of hesitation, it found its gear and disappeared into the thick timber. In the world of Wild Boar Hunting, those windows of opportunity open and close in the blink of an eye.
The Wild Hog they got only had 1 ear!
After securing the first one, Hank and the crew spent the remainder of the night scouring the surrounding properties. While the rest of the fields remained quiet for the evening, the intel gathered on where the sounders were moving is just as valuable for planning Night 2.
Even with just one in the cooler, the night was a success. We gathered the data, tested the gear, and set the stage for the next round of Thermal Hog Hunting.
The "Split-Second" Rule During a Night Hog Hunt, behavior can change in an instant. A target that looks like it’s about to stay down can often find a burst of adrenaline. Our guides work with guests to understand these movements so we can maximize the harvest every time we step into the field. Wild hogs are resilient and they are smart, both of those combined is a beast of an animal.
Strategic Field Rotation At Pig Problem, we don't just sit in one spot. If a field is quiet, we move. This high-mobility approach is why we are a top choice for Boar Hunting in Georgia. We cover the ground to find where the pressure is needed most.

When it comes to Hog Hunting, success often comes down to the ability to adapt in real-time. Our latest Thermal Hog Hunting trip in the Americus, Georgia area started off slow, with the group covering significant ground and checking several South Georgia fields before the activity picked up.
While working toward the back of a sprawling field, we initially located a single hog. However, as our team began to reposition, Pig Problem guide Hank identified a sounder of hogs moving along a distant tree line. We immediately adjusted our strategy for these Night Hog Hunts to take advantage of the better opportunity.
After a careful, tactical approach, our hunters moved into position just as the hogs began to shift. This is where the precision of Wild Boar Hunting with thermal really shines. Despite the limited window for a setup, a quick and controlled sequence followed, resulting in three hogs successfully recovered.
The remainder of the night was spent patrolling the surrounding acreage. While no additional activity was found, the night was a perfect example of why our Hog Hunts are the most effective in the state. We turned a slow start into a multiple-recovery success through expert scouting and the best Thermal Hog Hunt equipment in the business."

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.

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 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.
