How To Stop Wild Hogs

Hunting Wild Hogs

This 1-Night Wild Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was made even better by having returning hunters back in the field.

Right from the start, activity was strong. The first field of the night produced a small group of hogs, resulting in one successful recovery. Moving on to the next field kept the momentum going, where a larger group was located, leading to additional recoveries early in the Wild Hog Hunt.

As the night went on, activity slowed and visibility dropped, with remaining hours spent scanning fields that held deer but no additional hog movement. Even so, the early action made for a productive and enjoyable night.

Hog Hunts like this highlight why repeat clients are such an important part of Pig Problem Inc. Strong results, good conversations, and shared experiences in the field are what keep Hunters coming back year after year.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Max was a true reminder that Hog Hunting is rarely straightforward — and persistence is often the difference between opportunity and an empty field.

The night began with scattered hog activity. Pigs were located early, but as is common with pressured animals, they stayed on the move and slipped away before a setup could come together. Rather than forcing bad opportunities, Max stayed mobile, continuing to check additional ground and staying ahead of the movement.

As the night went on, hog activity increased across multiple areas. Sounders were spotted in several locations, but shifting positions and timing made clean setups difficult. Still, the effort never stopped. Max continued covering ground, adjusting routes, and staying focused on finding the right opportunity rather than rushing the wrong one.

Late in the night, a large sounder was finally located, creating the best chance of the Wild Hog Hunt. While the setup was challenging and only part of the opportunity could be capitalized on, it was a strong finish after hours of effort and patience.

Nights like this highlight what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about:

  • covering miles

  • adapting to constantly moving animals

  • and staying committed even when conditions don’t line up easily

At Pig Problem Inc, we don’t promise easy nights — we promise honest effort, real hunting, and guides who keep pushing until the last option is checked.

Another one-night Thermal Hunt in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Max.

Some hunters come out once and have a good time.
Others come back — and make every night memorable.

Darrell returned to Pig Problem once again for a two-night hunt with Guide Clay, and Night 2 turned into another standout performance. From the first setup to the final field, Darrell stayed focused, confident, and consistent.

Over the course of the night, Darrell successfully handled Multiple Hog Encounters, navigating singles and groups alike and putting together one of the most productive nights of the season. His ability to stay calm, make smart decisions, and adjust to fast-moving hogs showed exactly why he’s become one of Clay’s favorite hunters to guide.

The conditions made the night even more impressive.
Temperatures dropped hard, freezing the ground solid and turning the fields into concrete. Movement was tough, footing was unforgiving, and every step mattered. Even so, Darrell pushed through and made the most of every opportunity.

Late in the night, after a slip on the frozen ground, the decision was made to call it and head back in — a smart move after a long, successful night in harsh conditions.

Beyond the results, what truly stands out about Darrell is the kind of person he is to Wild Hog Hunt with. Easygoing, respectful, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, he brings great energy to the field every time he shows up. That’s the kind of hunter guides hope will keep coming back — and Darrell already plans to do just that.

Another memorable night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and one of our favorite repeat hunters of the season.

Hunting Wild Hogs With Thermal

Some nights test your patience, your wind reading, and your ability to adapt — and this was one of those nights. Guide Hank led this 1-Night Hog Hunt, and even with challenging conditions, the group still ended the night with solid success.

A Pig Right Out of the Gate

The Wild Hog Hunt began when the team spotted a hog from the road. As soon as they pulled into the field, the hog slipped into the treeline directly in front of them. That’s how fast things can change in South Georgia farmland — timing and movement matter.

A Sounder on the Opposite Side

Hank turned the group around and checked the opposite side of the field, where a full sounder was already out feeding. The wind wasn’t ideal, and the positioning made the approach tricky.

Even with those challenges, the team made the most of the opportunity and managed to connect with one of the hogs, though it moved off before they could reach it.

Real Hog Hunting isn’t always perfect. It teaches you how tough, aware, and resilient these animals are.

Returning to the First Spot

While searching the fields, the team noticed another hog back on the side where they originally started. They circled back, moved in carefully, and this time everything came together smoothly. The hog stayed in the open long enough for Hank to guide the group into a clean, controlled approach, ending with a successful recovery.

A Challenging but Successful Night

Every Thermal Hog Hunt is different. Nights like this remind you why Georgia Hog Hunting is such a unique experience.

Hunting Wild Boars

Some nights out Hunting in Georgia turn quiet — and then suddenly everything happens at once.

Guide Clayton led a father-and-son duo on a Thermal Hog Hunt that started off with great stories and easy conversation. They covered field after field, scanning through the night with their Thermal, but the pigs weren’t showing themselves early on.

Then, around 2 a.m., everything changed. The group spotted a Big Single Boar about 150 yards out in the open. They got set up, took their shots, and dropped the pig clean. Just two seconds later, a Coyote came prancing out and stopped right in front of them — the son didn’t hesitate and dropped it with one perfect shot.

Two animals, one incredible moment. Both the hog and coyote dropped less than 20 feet apart, ending the night with an unforgettable story and plenty of laughs.

At Pig Problem, we love guiding hunts like this — real Thermal Hog Hunting where you never know what the night will bring. We don’t sit in stands or hunt over bait. We move, stalk, and work for every opportunity. That’s what makes it exciting and why hunters travel from all over the country to experience Georgia Hog Hunting with us.

Night two of this two-night South Georgia Hog Hunt with Pig Problem was one for the books.

Guide Clayton and his Hunters were locked in from the start — moving with precision and patience that made it look like they’d done this a thousand times before. The result? Three Wild Hogs down under the South Georgia night sky.

They almost had a fourth, but that last pig managed to slip into chest-high grass and earned himself a bit of peace for the night. Still, the team couldn’t have asked for a better ending to their Guided Thermal Hog Hunt.

Clayton shared a cool insight after the Wild Hog Hunt: for the last two days, he’s been eating only meat, salt, and water — living like hunters did long ago. “I wanted to feel what it was like to be human before everything got easy,” he said. “And I feel amazing.”

That mindset sums up what Pig Problem is all about — reconnecting with the primal side of Hunting, using modern Thermal Technology and equipment to do what humans have done for centuries: hunt, adapt, and thrive. Just in a 20th century way.

If you’re ready to experience Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia, Pig Problem delivers the real thing — Thermal Hog Hunting, Wild Boar action, and stories you’ll remember for life.

Our latest Hog Hunting Trip in Americus, GA was led by guides Clayton and Hank on a split Boar Hunt. While it may look like the same Wild Hog from different angles, it was actually three different hogs taken during Clayton’s part of the night. The Thermal Hunt started off slow, but as soon as the moon dropped around 2 a.m., the animals began to move and opportunities opened up. Every shot taken resulted in a hog on the ground — a true sign of a successful night.

Meanwhile, on Hank’s side of the Hog Hunt, the group had a productive outing but decided to call it a night early, heading in around 4 a.m. Even with no photos, it was still a solid Wild Hog Hunt and a reminder that every group’s pace is different.

Wild hogs continue to cause major damage to farmland across South Georgia, and nights like this show why Guided Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus is such an important experience. Whether it’s protecting crops or making unforgettable memories under the stars, each Night Hog Hunt has its own story to tell.

Bachelor Party Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia

When most people think of a bachelor party, they picture Las Vegas or the beach. But these young guys had a different idea: they wanted a real adventure and came down to Americus, Georgia for a Guided Hog Hunt with Pig Problem.

The night started off quiet, with no hogs in sight for hours. But just before sunrise, around 5 a.m., guide Clayton spotted a Sounder of Hogs across the field. The group made a careful stalk through cut corn — a tricky and noisy terrain that can make it tough to stay undetected. Despite the challenge, they managed to close the distance and set up for a shot.

The hard work paid off. The hunters were able to Protect Local Farmland from Destructive Wild Hogs while making Unforgettable Bachelor Party Hunting memories. Nights like this are exactly why so many groups are choosing Georgia Hog Hunting Trips over traditional bachelor party destinations.

Night 2

The second night of this 2 Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem brought plenty of excitement. Early in the evening, the crew encountered a single hog and got the night started on a high note. Not long after, three more hogs were spotted in the distance, leading to a long stalk across the field. Although those slipped away, the action wasn’t over yet.

Later in the night, a sounder appeared but was spooked by deer before the hunters could move into position. Still, patience and persistence paid off. Around 3 a.m., Guide Kaleb returned to the same field with the group and, just as expected, the hogs were back. After a careful approach, the hunters successfully closed out the night with three more hogs, including a Large Boar.

When the dust settled, the group wrapped up the Boar Hunt with five hogs total over two nights of Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus, Georgia. It was the perfect reminder that success in the field comes down to timing, patience, and determination.

Pig Problem is proud to provide Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia that create not only results but also lasting memories.

This Wild Hog Hunt started off slow, but once the deer started moving heavy, the action picked up. Not long after 1am, they spotted a small sounder of pigs. They made the stalk, got in range, and they got big sow. Guide Kaleb scanned for others that might’ve been hit, but nothing turned up.

Later in the night, they found another Wild Hog, but it kept moving and slipped onto another property before we could get on it.

Great group of guys to have out — good laughs and a solid Thermal Hog Hunt.
