Big Group 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.

1-Night Hog Hunts can unfold fast — and this one with Guide Jordan delivered action, challenges, and nonstop learning from start to finish.

After checking several fields early with no activity, Jordan made a call to try new ground. That decision paid off immediately. As soon as the group arrived, they spotted a Sounder of 10+ Wild Hogs feeding on the far side of the field.

The stalk came together perfectly.
The wind was steady, movement was quiet, and the hogs positioned themselves in a low area that naturally funneled them closer. When the first encounter connected, something rare happened — instead of running away, the sounder pushed toward the hunters, creating fast, close-range opportunities.

During the chaos, one hunter experienced a temporary equipment malfunction. Jordan reacted instantly, stepped in, and worked through the issue while the other hunter stayed focused and kept the pressure on the sounder. Clear communication and teamwork paid off, resulting in two hogs recovered from that encounter.

As the team moved in to gather the hogs, another pig unexpectedly broke from the treeline nearby. Jordan quickly set the hunters back up for a follow-up opportunity, but that hog slipped away into cover.

After photos and processing, the Wild Hog Hunt continued. Later in the night, the group encountered a single hog, but a sudden interruption caused it to vanish before a setup could come together — another reminder of how unpredictable Wild Hog Hunting can be.

The final opportunity of the night came when Jordan spotted two more hogs in a different area. The stalk was smooth, the wind was right, and the hunters closed the distance to under 100 yards. Shots were taken, but both hogs made it into thick cover and couldn’t be recovered safely.

Even without additional recoveries, the night showcased exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about:
• adapting on the fly
• managing fast-moving sounders
• handling equipment issues calmly
• making smart, safe decisions in the field

Jordan led with confidence, communication, and patience — and the hunters stayed engaged and positive through every encounter.

Two hogs recovered, multiple stalks executed, and a full night of action under the stars — a solid one-night Hog Hunting Trip with Pig Problem.

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.

Guide Capt. Wes Jones was squeaking through the field like a rabid mouse. It was actually the new front brakes on the van. Wes wanted to challenge himself as a hunter. The squeak giving wild hogs a fair chance to run before he drops some boom boom on them. Is it Wes’s tactical beard that give him the advantage? Or does he just eat, sleep, and dream about hog hunting? I found him sleeping upright in the van like a psychopath late yesterday morning. If you enjoy Night time Wes you should see him during the day. Book A Hunt to experience this majestic bearded guide. (Boom Boom is slang for shooting hogs)
