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 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.

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…

When you book a Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, you never know what the first field of the night will bring — and this group started their 2-night Hog Hunt with exactly the kind of excitement hunters hope for. Guide Hank led the way for Night 1, and within minutes of rolling into the fields, the action began.

Spotting 5 Hogs in the First Field

The night kicked off strong when the group located five Wild Hogs right away. Because of the wind direction and the slope of the ground, the hogs stayed tucked just out of sight until the team got within roughly 60 yards.

A slow, controlled approach was key. Hank positioned everyone carefully so the group could make their move together once the hogs were fully in view.

A Clean Approach + Solid First Push

When the team finally stepped into position, things came together fast. The hunters connected with three hogs, while the remaining two slipped into the treeline. Had they not been that close to cover, the outcome could’ve been even bigger — but that’s part of real Georgia Hog Hunting. The terrain always keeps you guessing.

Covering Ground Across Multiple Fields

After the initial excitement, Hank and the crew continued moving across several more fields. Deer were active throughout the night, and the group stayed on the lookout for more hogs as they worked through the property.

Even without additional hog encounters, the night closed out strong. Three hogs on Night 1 is a solid start to any 2 Night Hog Hunt with a group of five.

Why Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia Is So Successful

Pig Problem specializes in Thermal Hog Hunts that take place on active farmland, where hogs are always on the move and causing damage. That’s why nights like this — locating hogs quickly, adjusting for wind, reading the terrain — are part of what makes Thermal Hunting here so unique. Every field offers a new opportunity.

Wrapping Up Night 1 — On to Night 2

Night 1 was a successful kickoff to this group’s 2-night Thermal Boar Hunt with Hank. With three hogs recovered and plenty of wildlife movement, the stage is set for a big Night 2.

Stay tuned for the full recap.

Thermals, Teamwork, and 14 Pigs in One Night

When everything clicks — teamwork, timing, and technology — Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia turns into something unforgettable.

Guide Clay kicked off a wild night that started with a massive sounder of about 20 pigs (plus plenty of little ones). I was there for this one, we had Daniel flying the drone and calling Clay over once we spotted the group out in the field. We geared up, planned our approach, and began a long, careful stalk.

Once we were in range, the thermal lit up the field. Within seconds, we had success with two pigs down and plenty of excitement to kick off the night. As we were taking photos, the Thermal Drone picked up more movement just 20 yards away, so we reset quickly and moved again. That second stalk led to ten more pigs recovered, making it an incredible double run — fast-paced, smooth teamwork, and some amazing footage to come.

After I left, Clay and the hunters continued the night with another stalk, bringing the total to 14 pigs spotted and 12 recovered before sunrise. A perfect example of how much ground and action a good thermal setup can cover in just one night.

Thermal Hog Hunting is the real deal — high-tech, high-energy, and totally unpredictable. Between the heat signatures, drones, and quick field decisions, no two Hog Hunts are ever the same.

That’s what makes Pig Problem special — we combine real field knowledge, advanced thermal gear, and guides who know how to adapt fast. Nights like this show why Georgia Hog Hunting is unlike anywhere else in the country.

Putting in the Work:

A Two-Night Hunt with Pig Problem

Not every Hunt is a nonstop shootout—but that’s what makes Hog Hunting so rewarding. Some nights, the Pigs are everywhere. Other nights, you have to work for every opportunity. That’s exactly what Guide Hank and his Hunters experienced on a recent 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem.

Night 1:

Hard Work Pays Off

The first night was slow, but that didn’t stop them. With persistence and a lot of walking, they finally got an opportunity—and made it count. One Hog, proving that sometimes success in the field comes from sheer determination. Wild Hogs are smart, constantly adapting to Hunting Pressure and changing their routines. When they don’t show up where you expect, you have to put in the miles, and that’s exactly what Hank and his Hog Hunters did.

Night 2:

The Wild Card of Hog Hunting

The second night, the Pigs stayed hidden. No fresh tracks, no movement—just an empty landscape under the Thermal Equipment. It’s easy to wonder why, but the reality is, Hogs don’t always play by the rules.

Wild Hogs are Nocturnal, but they don’t move the same way every night. Their patterns change based on weather, moon phase, food availability, and Hunting pressure. If they’ve been spooked recently, they’ll hole up in thick cover and wait until well past dawn to move. Other times, they’ll feed in a completely different area, miles away from where they were the night before. It’s what makes Thermal Hunting so unpredictable—and so exciting.

Even on slow nights, every Guided Hunt is a learning experience. Whether you’re Tracking Pigs, reading fresh sign, or just soaking in the thrill of the chase, there’s no such thing as a wasted night in the field. That’s why we do this—because every Night Hunt tells a story.
