Summertime Hog Hunting

Some nights just feel promising from the start — especially when you’re welcoming back repeat clients you’ve built a bond with. Guide Kaleb knew it was going to be a good one.

After getting word from Max that a nearby field was seeing fresh Wild Hog activity, the group made the hour-long ride to check it out. Things started off slow with only a few deer moving through, but around 1 a.m., they spotted their first Hog — a Lone Boar working through the field. The setup was easy, just steps from the van, and the team handled it quickly.

Back on the Hog Hunt shortly after, they located a group of three more Pigs not far off. A brief 50-yard approach was all it took, and the team moved efficiently to secure two of them while the third made it to the tree line.

With the clock pushing 4 a.m., Kaleb was ready to wrap things up and began Field Butchering. But just as they approached the drop-off site, one more Big Boar appeared. The crew didn’t miss a beat — a final short stalk sealed the night.

Kaleb finished Butchering just before sunrise, ending a long but rewarding night. “These are truly some of the best guys I’ve had,” he said. “Can’t wait to have them back.”

The photos from the Wild Hog Hunt say it all — memories made, fields checked, and another successful night in the books with Pig Problem.

Tough Hunting

This Hog Hunt had its challenges. A few issues early on, a whole lot of deer in the fields, and by 2:30, the crew called it. No Pigs on the ground.

That’s Hunting, though. We don’t bait. We don’t guarantee. We scout, stalk, and give it everything we’ve got — but sometimes the Hogs win.

The pictures say it all. This was a Birthday Hunt and this young man’s First Hunt and we are happy it could be with us at Pig Problem. Not long into the night, they spotted a small Sounder of Pigs. One was re-homed in the field while another made it to the tree-line. You could see he was hooked right away. Buck fever was real.

Later, they moved northwest to avoid the weather and found another Wild Hog, but it got spooked by a car. An hour later, back in the same field, a Big Lone Boar was hanging out. They made the stalk, adrenaline was pumping, and the Young Hunter re-homed the Pig on the run.

It was a night to remember. The family said they’ll definitely be back. In the dad’s words: “You made this night special—thank you.”
