HUNTING HOGS IN THE DARK

Teamwork in the Field:

Night One of a Split Hunt with Guides Hank and Luke

At Pig Problem, every Hog Hunt is different—but when you’ve got two top-tier guides and a motivated crew, it’s bound to be a good time. On the first night of a recent 3-night Thermal Hog Hunt, Guides Hank and Clayton teamed up to lead a group of six hunters through the South Georgia fields on a split Wild Hog Hunt adventure.

With Hank guiding three Hog Hunters and Clayton taking the other three, the night started with promise—and it didn’t disappoint. Despite light rain and a thick layer of cloud cover, the team pressed on and soon found themselves face-to-face with a group of crop-raiding Hogs.

Thanks to perfect timing and great communication, they managed to get all six Hunters into position for a coordinated setup. The result? Six less Wild Hogs tearing up the fields, and six satisfied hunters with a story to tell.

The cool temps and misty weather only added to the atmosphere, making the whole experience feel even more epic. As Hank and Luke both said, “It was a solid night,” and a great way to kick off what’s shaping up to be an exciting 3 Night Hog Hunt.

Stay tuned for what’s next—we’ll be sharing updates from Night Two and Three soon.

Late-Night Laughter and a Hog to Remember

Tingbi Hunt With Guide Clayton

Guide Clayton recently wrapped up a memorable Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem, and it was one for the books. The evening kicked off like many others—Thermal ready, everything zeroed in, and anticipation in the air but the Hog Hunt quickly turned into a story no one will forget.

The target was a large, Sow that just didn’t want to be rehomed. After several chances, she kept running away through the field. It took over alot but there is always sucess on the other end—an absolute tank of a Wild Hog that didn’t give up without a fight. We don’t understand why they don’t like to be re-homed.

But what made the night even more unforgettable was the reaction from Tingbi. Normally calm, lighthearted, and always cracking jokes, Tingbi let out his first-ever curse word mid-hunt, catching Clayton completely off guard. “I couldn’t stop laughing,” Clayton said. “It was the first time I’ve heard Tingbi cuss, and it made the whole situation even funnier.”

It was a Wild Night of Hunting that was full of laughter, adrenaline, and the kind of memories that stick with you long after the sun comes up. While this may be Tingbi’s last Wild Hog Hunt for a while, this one will be talked about for seasons to come.

Birthday Memories & Family Traditions:

There’s something special about spending time in The Outdoors with Family — especially when it’s centered around tradition, adventure, and good memories. This past week, Capt. Max had the pleasure of guiding a 2-Night Hunt for Easton and his family, and it was one for the books.

Easton’s birthday celebration was more than just a Hog Hunt — it was a Family Hunt. Surrounded by relatives who share a love for the outdoors, Easton got to celebrate his big day with a Hog Hunting Trip he’ll never forget. The group brought great energy, positive attitudes, and a shared appreciation for responsible Hunting. It’s always refreshing to guide folks who not only understand the importance of land and wildlife management, but who also take time to pass those values down to the next generation.

Family Hog Hunts like this remind us why we do what we do. Seeing Young Hunters out in the field, learning the ropes and building memories with parents, uncles, and grandparents — that’s what it’s all about. It’s more than just time outside. It’s about connection, mentorship, and setting the stage for a lifelong respect for the outdoors.

Over the course of two nights, the group did a great job of re-homing Wild Pigs and helping support local farmers. Everyone played a part, and Easton handled the challenge like a seasoned pro. Watching him step up and take in every part of the experience with maturity and excitement made this Birthday Hunting Trip one that’ll be talked about for years.

At Pig Problem, we love seeing families come together in the field. These moments build bonds, teach responsibility, and ensure that the next generation keeps the tradition alive — the right way.

Happy birthday, Easton! We’re proud to have been a part of your celebration, and we hope to see you and your crew back again soon.

Persistence Pays Off:

A Two-Night Hog Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Some Hog Hunts are fast-paced, and some require patience—but every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Peanut Protector Guide Capt. Clayton recently led a determined group on a 2 Night Hog Hunt, pushing through long hours and late nights to make it happen.

Night 1:

The Waiting Game

Photo: Wild Hog Hunts @PigProblem

The first night was all about persistence. Hours passed without a single sighting, and just when it seemed like the Hogs had disappeared for the night, movement finally caught our attention at 4:30 a.m. A long stalk followed, testing both endurance and strategy, but in the end, the effort paid off. From a distance of around 150-200 yards, the team made it count, wrapping up the night with a well-earned success.

Night 2:

A Quick Start, Then the Quiet

Photo: Sleepy Piggy @PigProblem

The second night started off promising, with a Wild Hog spotted early at 9 p.m. The excitement was high, but after that, the night took a quiet turn. Despite covering plenty of ground, no more Pigs showed up, making for a long trek back home around sunrise.

These two nights were a testament to the Unpredictable Nature of Hog Hunting—some nights are packed with action, while others test patience and determination. But no matter what, the experience, the challenge, and the adventure always make it worth it.

Two Nights of Action:

Mario & Harry’s Hog Hunt with Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, we love seeing familiar faces return for another round of Night Hunting action. Longtime Hunters Mario and Harry recently joining us again for a 2 Night Hog Hunt, guided by Capt. Max on the first night and Zev on the second.

Guide Capt Max led the way on the first night, covering plenty of ground in search of Wild Hogs. The conditions were just right, and the night started off strong with a couple of Coyotes spotted and a Solid Boar added to the tally. Mario and Harry know the drill, making for an efficient and enjoyable Hog Hunt.

Night 2 with Zev

Zev took over on the second night, and the streak continued with two more Hogs found. He had nothing but good things to say about Mario and Harry, calling them “cool dudes” who made the experience a great one. The night had an unexpected twist, though—on the way back, a flat tire slowed things down, and a loose brake caliper made for a bit more work than planned. But no worries, just another Hunting Adventure on the road!

These two nights were a great reminder of why we do what we do. The right company, solid Hunting Guides, and the thrill of Thermal Hunting always make for a memorable experience. Looking forward to seeing Mario and Harry back out Wild Hog Hunting again soon!

Battling the Elements & Bagging Hogs with Guide Hank

At Pig Problem, we know every Hog Hunt is different—some nights are nonstop action, and others test your patience. But no matter what, we adapt, strategize, and make the most of every opportunity. Guide Hank just wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt, and it was a prime example of how Unpredictable Hog Hunting can be.

Night 1:

Deer Everywhere, Pigs Nowhere

The first night started with promise—plenty of deer moving through the fields, but the Pigs were nowhere to be found. As the night went on, the reason became clear. A massive storm was rolling in, bringing heavy wind, rain, and lightning. Right before it hit, the fields went dead silent—no movement, no signs of life. The animals knew what was coming, and so did we. Instead of pushing our luck and getting soaked, we called it early, knowing we’d have another chance the next night.

Night 2:

Success in the Wind

Photo: Hogs Down @PigProblem

The second night brought its own challenge—strong winds—but we weren’t about to let that stop us. After covering a lot of ground with little to show for it, we finally spotted a couple of Wild Pigs. Using the tree line for cover and staying out of the moonlight, we made a short stalk into range. A couple of well-placed chances later, we had our Hogs for the night.

Even though we checked several more fields without luck, the Wild Hog Hunt was still a success. That’s Hog Hunting for you—some nights are easy, others make you work for it. But with persistence, smart tactics, and a little patience, the payoff always comes.

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.

Two Nights in the Fields:

A Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. Some nights, the Pigs seem to be everywhere. Other nights, they give us the slip. But no matter what, there’s always something to take away from the experience. Guide Clayton recently led a 2 Night Hog Hunt, and here’s how it went.

Night 1:

The Silent Hunt and the Toughest Pig Around

Photo: He Is Not A One Shot Kinda Guy @PigProblem

The highlight of the night was the sheer resilience of one particular Hog. “This pig took like nine chances and a couple more from 10 feet away and was still trying to get up,” Clayton said. “I want to have the same resilience that some of these pigs can have. It is absolutely amazing to see how mentally and physically tough an animal can be when it wants to keep going. They have a why so they can survive any how.”

Wild Hogs are notorious for their toughness, but every now and then, we come across one that reminds us just how relentless nature can be.

Night 2:

The Pigs Win This Round

As every Hunter knows, success isn’t guaranteed. After the action of the first night, night two was a different story. The Pigs were nowhere to be found. Some nights, they seem to vanish into thin air, slipping through the fields undetected. That’s part of what makes Hog Hunting a tough hunting sport —you never know what the night will bring.

Even when the Wild Pigs get the upper hand, there’s always something to take away from the Thermal Hunt. Whether it’s a quiet moment under the stars, the thrill of a tough fight, or just time spent outdoors, every Hog Hunt tells a story.

Wild Hogs On The Move

The Hunt That Almost Broke Clayton

Photo: Hunting Wild Hogs @PigProblem

Guiding Thermal Hog Hunts isn’t always easy. Some nights, everything lines up perfectly - Pigs are out in the open, stalks go smoothly, and Hunters rack up a Pile of Hogs with minimal effort. Other nights… well, they test your patience.

That’s exactly the kind of night Guide Clayton had on a recent Hog Hunt with three determined Hog Hunters. The Wild Pigs were out, but they weren’t exactly cooperating.

“Well well well, I failed four different stalks on pigs. Every time, they just walked back into the woods. It is the most frustrating thing to happen on a field stalk. I wanted to shave my eyebrows off and draw them back on to make me look angry all the time.”

If you’ve ever tried to creep up on a group of pigs in an open field, you know the feeling. One second, they’re feeding in the open, completely unaware. The next, they vanish into the treeline like ghosts.

But Clayton and his hunters weren’t about to give up. They kept pushing through the night, working field after field, waiting for their moment. Finally, at around 5 a.m., they spotted a Sounder. This time, there was no slipping away.

After 60+ chances, the dust settled, and they had their hog.

Sometimes, Mother Nature throws one last curveball just to keep things interesting. As Clayton left the field, the sky opened up, hammering down rain so hard that he had to crawl home at 40 mph on Highway 19.

“I couldn’t see anything, but at least the hunting van is clean now.”

At the end of the day, no Wild Hog Hunt is ever the same, and that’s what makes it so damn fun. Whether it’s perfect stalks or a night full of frustration, every Hunting Trip is a story waiting to be told. And for these three hunters, they got to be part of a Hog Hunt that nearly drove their guide to altering his facial features in rage.

Testing the Waters with Pig Problem:

A Four-Night Thermal Hog Hunt Recap

Guided by Clayton, three Seasoned Hog Hunters joined Pig Problem for a 4-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia. These guys were no strangers to Night Hunting - they had been Hog Hunting with another Hunting Outfitter for years, but with their usual guide retiring, they decided to give Pig Problem a shot. They were used to putting down double-digit numbers of Hogs each night, which is a rare feat, not because of a lack of Pigs, but because most Hunters don’t capitalize on the opportunities when a field is full of them.

Night 1:

A Sounder and a Start

Photo: Guess What’s Better Than 0? ….1 @PigProblem

The Hog Hunt kicked off with high expectations. The group encountered a Sounder of Hogs early on, taking chances and managing to get one Wild Pig. It wasn’t the massive numbers they were used to, but it was a start. The guys were getting a feel for the setup, Clayton’s guiding style, and the way Pig Problem Hunts.

Night 2:

A Mechanical Mishap and Midnight Repairs

Photo: Guess What Is Better Than 1? …..2 @PigProblem

Things got interesting on the second night, and not just because of the Wild Hog Hunting. Earlier that day, the Hunting Van had a tire rotation, but whoever worked on it forgot to tighten the lug nuts properly. By 2:30 AM, Clayton realized the van was wobbling badly, making it unsafe to drive. Luckily, Megan, our go-to assistant/manager/problem-solver, came to the rescue. She rolled in with a jack and all the tools needed to tighten everything up, saving Clayton from a roadside disaster.

After the unexpected pit stop, the guys got back to Thermal Hog Hunting around 3:30 AM and managed to take them to new homes, two more Piggies before sunrise.

Night 3:

Precision Stalks Pay Off

Photo: Guess What’s… JUST KIDDING. Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah. @PigProblem

Photo: The Final Piggy @PigProblem

The third night was all about stealth and accuracy. They went on two separate stalks, each time finding a Single Hog, and each time finding it a new home cleanly. Some nights aren’t about chasing massive sounders it’s about making every chance count. Two pigs rehomed, zero wasted opportunities.

Night 4:

The Fog Takes Over

The final night was a test of patience, but not because of the pigs. Thick fog rolled in, making Thermal Equipment nearly useless. Clayton said he couldn’t see more than 50 yards in front of him - even the Hog Hunting Van, parked just 100 yards away, disappeared in the haze. At 1:30 AM, with visibility still next to nothing, they called it a night.

Final Thoughts:

Did They Like Pig Problem?

Despite a slow first night and a fogged-out final night, the hunters got 5 Wild Hogs Down in three nights, dealt with a wild van situation, and got a full taste of what Hunting with Pig Problem is all about. It’s never just about numbers - it’s about adapting, making the most of every opportunity, and having a damn good time doing it.

So, did these guys like Pig Problem Inc enough to make it their new go-to Hog Hunting Outfitter? We sure hope so. But as always, the pigs will be here, the fields will be ready, and Clayton will be out there waiting for the next crew to take on the challenge.
