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.
Why Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia Is So Successful
Pig Problem specializes in Thermal Hog Hunts that take place on active farmland, where hogs are always on the move and causing damage. That’s why nights like this — locating hogs quickly, adjusting for wind, reading the terrain — are part of what makes Thermal Hunting here so unique. Every field offers a new opportunity.
Wrapping Up Night 1 — On to Night 2
Night 1 was a successful kickoff to this group’s 2-night Thermal Boar Hunt with Hank. With three hogs recovered and plenty of wildlife movement, the stage is set for a big Night 2.
Stay tuned for the full recap.
