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…

The Repeat Strike: Thermal Hunting in the Silage

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.

Why Predator Control Matters

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.

The Best Coyote Hunting in the United States

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.

Guide: Clayton

Hunt: Thermal Hog Hunting

Location: Americus Georgia

For many of our guests, the journey to Hog Hunting In Georgia starts with a drive down from North Atlanta. This recent session with Guide Clayton featured a group of first-timers who learned firsthand that while Wild Hog Hunting has no guarantees, persistence always pays off.

Navigating the "Rough" Stalks

The night didn't start easy. In the world of Night Hog Hunts, the animals often have the home-field advantage. Clayton led the group on two intense stalks—one on a lone hog and another on a group of four—but the shifting conditions allowed the wild hogs to slip away.

Later, a group of eight was spotted, but they caught a glimpse of the team and retreated into the timber before a setup could be made.

The 2 AM Turning Point

As the clock hit 2:00 AM, the momentum finally shifted. Using our elite thermal gear, Clayton located a single Wild Hog in the open. The team moved with total discipline, executing a perfect approach that resulted in a successful harvest.

The energy in the van completely changed. With one in the cooler, the group decided to push for one last "Hail Mary" field before heading home.

The Final Success

The gamble paid off. On the very last field of the night, Clayton’s thermal picked up a massive single roaming "all by his lonesome." The group got into position, stayed composed, and successfully secured their second harvest of the night.

It was a classic example of why we are the top choice for Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia. We don't stop when it gets late; we stop when the job is done.

Our latest Hog Hunting Georgia trip kicked off with massive movement and high-stakes action. When we hit the first field in the Americus area, we immediately located a large sounder of roughly 20 wild hogs.

The conditions were a challenge; limited cover and a bright, full moon made a close approach difficult. However, with professional Thermal Hog Hunting equipment, our group was able to close the distance to under 200 yards and capitalize on the opportunity, successfully recovering four hogs from the sounder.

Later in the night, our Hog Hunts continued as we located another small group. With improved positioning, we were able to close the distance more effectively, recovering another hog before the sounder moved into the timber. Just before 1:00 a.m., we spotted a final single hog and executed a controlled setup to finish the night with a total of six recoveries.

Despite the challenging visibility caused by the moonlight, this trip delivered the consistent action that Wild Boar Hunting in South Georgia is known for. It was a strong start to our multi-day hunt and a perfect example of why Guided Hog Hunting requires the right gear and the right team.

Hunting For Meat

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered fast-paced action and strong results from start to finish.

The night began as a coordinated hunt alongside another guide, where a sounder was located early. With the full group working together, a careful stalk and strategic setup led to multiple successful recoveries in the first encounter.

After splitting up to continue covering ground, additional hog activity was quickly located. A single Wild Hog was recovered in the next field, followed later by a small sounder that produced further recoveries.

With steady movement, multiple setups, and continuous action throughout the night, the Hog Hunt produced strong results before midnight and wrapped up as one of the most productive One-Night Hunts of the Hog Hunting Season.

This Wild Hog Hunt was a perfect example of how teamwork, experience, and consistent effort lead to successful Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia.

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…

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.

Guide Hank led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded everyone how quickly things can change in the field.

The night had been quiet until just around midnight, when the team was driving through a wooded stretch and suddenly spotted a Sounder of Pigs about 200 yards out. They stopped fast, geared up, and got ready to make a move.

The wind was shifting along the treeline — never a good sign — and Hank knew that hesitation could send the pigs running. So, in a quick and decisive moment, he adjusted the team’s position and turned a surprise encounter into a successful outcome.

That’s what Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about — patience, timing, and adapting to whatever the night throws your way.

At Pig Problem, we don’t sit and wait. We move, stalk, and strategize to give our hunters the most exciting and ethical Thermal Hog Hunting experience in Georgia. Every night brings something new — new challenges, new lessons, and new memories made under the stars.

Another great night in the books with Guide Hank and his hunters. 🌙

Another exciting night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (a.k.a. Luke)!

The night started like many of our Wild Hog Hunts do — cruising the backroads and scanning fields for heat signatures. After checking a few spots with nothing moving, the team finally pulled into a field and saw pigs scrambling at the far end. The wind was swirling, so the stalk had to be slow and careful.

They crept closer, staying just downwind until they got in range. Once the thermals lit up, the hunters got set and the chance happened — four hogs re-homed, with one more that managed to make it into the woods.

That’s the kind of night that keeps us hooked on Hog Hunting — every stalk is different, every chance counts, and every Boar Hunt tells a new story.

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Night Hunts across South Georgia, chasing wild hogs that tear up farmland and crop fields. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we hunt, stalk, and go, giving you a true, hands-on Hunting Experience.

Whether you’re chasing your first pig or adding to your tally, Pig Problem delivers the thrill of Thermal Boar Hunting in Georgia — real guides, real pigs, and real fun.

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.

Hunting Wild Hogs

Not every Hog Hunt ends with a pig on the ground — and that’s the truth about Hog Hunting in Georgia.

Guide Hank led a great group of hunters on a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem, and while they didn’t spot a single pig that night, everyone still had a great time out in the fields. That’s the thing about Wild Hogs — they’re unpredictable. They might stick to a pattern for a few days, then completely change it overnight.

If we sat in stands or baited them, it might be different. But that’s not how we hunt. At Pig Problem, we stalk, spot, and aim — covering ground under the stars with Thermal to find pigs where they truly live. It’s a challenge, and that’s what makes it fun.

Hog Hunting isn’t a guarantee, no matter where you go or what you’re after — and that’s part of the game. What we can guarantee is that we’ll always do everything we can to make sure you have a great time, no matter how the night goes.

Because at the end of the day, Boar Hunting is one of the most exciting, unique, and adrenaline-filled hunts out there. We love what we do — and that’s why we do it.
