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 one of this two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia started like many do — steady searching and scanning fields for movement.

Before long, thermal detection picked up a sounder positioned near the center of a field. To avoid detection, the approach was made from the treeline, which temporarily caused loss of visual contact. Based on experience and terrain layout, attention shifted to a nearby low area that wasn’t visible until closing the distance.

That decision paid off.

The sounder was located exactly where expected, allowing for a controlled setup and a highly productive outcome. By the end of the night, six hogs were successfully recovered, making for a strong and efficient first night of Hog Control.

Strategic movement, terrain awareness, and patience were key factors in the success of night one.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem showcased exactly how productive a Large Group Hog Hunt can be when experienced guides and motivated hunters work together.

With six hunters in the field, Clayton and Jordan coordinated an early plan to bring the entire group together for a full-team stalk on a sounder. The approach was clean, controlled, and efficient — giving everyone the opportunity to be part of the action.

That first encounter resulted in four hogs recovered, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

After the initial success, the hunt split into two teams to continue covering ground. Clayton quickly located another sounder and was able to capitalize, recovering two more hogs. Meanwhile, Jordan found additional hog activity, but those pigs stayed on the move and disappeared into the trees before a safe setup could be made.

That’s the reality of Hog Hunting — sometimes the opportunity comes together, and sometimes the animals dictate the outcome.

Overall, it was a smooth, efficient, and productive night, made even better by having repeat hunters in the group who understood the pace and expectations of Thermal Hog Hunting.

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.

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.

Sometimes everything comes together at just the right time — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem was exactly that.

The night kicked off with an early sounder spotted moving across the field, leaving very little time to waste. Guide Hank quickly got the group moving, beginning a steady stalk as the hogs continued to shift away through the field.

Rather than rushing the setup, the team stayed patient and worked the terrain. The sounder eventually settled into a low spot near thick brush, creating the perfect opportunity. Once in position, the hunters were able to capitalize on the moment.

The result was a high-energy encounter with six hogs successfully recovered, making for an excellent night of Hog Hunting and a great haul of meat. Encounters like this are what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about — quick decisions, controlled movement, and making the most of the opportunity when it presents itself.

From early action to a strong finish, this Wild Hog Hunt was a great example of how effective Georgia Hog Hunting can be when everything lines up.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Hank.

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.
