Feral Swine Control

Effective Feral Hog Control is a game of inches, where silence and timing dictate the level of success. On a recent management night in South Georgia, guide Jordan led a group through a high-activity area that tested every bit of their field discipline.

The night began with a massive encounter—a sounder of over 30 Nuisance Pigs. After local traffic briefly pushed the sounder into the timber, Jordan utilized his knowledge of the property to track them into the tree line by ear. By anticipating their movement back into the open, the team was able to intercept the group. While the encounter resulted in one recovery, it highlighted the massive pressure these sounders put on Georgia acreage.

The evening also presented opportunities for Nighttime Predator Control. While stalking a single target, a coyote was identified in the open. Predator management requires a synchronized countdown to ensure a successful harvest; however, an early chance allowed the target to escape—a reminder that in the world of Predator Management, patience is just as important as placement.

As the night progressed, the team located another large sounder. Closing the distance to 70 yards, the group faced the reality of field conditions—where the slightest metallic noise or equipment adjustment can alert an entire sounder. In professional Agricultural Pest Management, we emphasize that 'we sink or swim together' as a team. Whether managing corn-ravaging singles or large breeding sounders, success depends on every member of the group being 100% ready before the signal is given. We wrapped up the night with several high-adrenaline encounters, proving that even on the toughest nights, our commitment to clearing South Georgia fields remains the priority.

When booking Hog Hunting Georgia trips, persistence is often the difference between an empty truck and a successful harvest. The final night of our recent multi-night Hog Hunts in Americus tested our patience from start to finish.

Movement was limited for most of the night, with our guides spending hours covering ground and checking multiple South Georgia fields. The activity didn’t finally pick up until around 3:30 a.m., which is a common occurrence during Night Hog Hunts when the pressure is high.

Once the hogs were located, the stalk proved challenging. The sounder stayed on the move and crossed a ditch, forcing us to perform a full tactical reposition. In professional Wild Boar Hunting, being able to adjust the plan on the fly is vital. After resetting our approach from a different access point, our hunters were finally able to get into position and capitalize.

That final setup resulted in two hogs successfully recovered, closing out the Thermal Hog Hunt on a strong note. Multi-Night Hog Hunts often come down to timing and staying committed until the very end. This trip was a perfect example of why Pig Problem Inc. is the leader in Georgia Hog Hunting—we don't quit until the job is done.

While we strive for high-volume harvests every night, Hog Hunting in Georgia sometimes requires a heavy grind. The second night of our recent multi-day trip in Americus presented much slower hog movement than the opener, but it still provided a massive win for the group.

Hog activity was limited throughout the evening, with only one single hog located. Despite our guides covering significant ground and checking multiple South Georgia properties, the hogs remained elusive. However, this is exactly why Thermal Hog Hunting is so effective—it allows us to pivot to predator control when the hogs aren't moving.

While the hogs were scarce, the group was able to capitalize on a long-time goal during our Night Hog Hunts. We successfully located and recovered a Coyote, marking a milestone that several hunters in the group had been chasing for years. It turned a slow night into a highly rewarding experience.

Even nights with limited movement are a vital part of Wild Boar Hunting. Staying patient, adapting to the weather, and continuing to scout sets the stage for success on the final night of a multi-day Hog Hunt. At Pig Problem Inc., we are committed to the Thermal Hunt, whether we are tracking sounders or managing predators across Georgia farmland.

The Reality of Hog Hunting:

A Night with Capt Max

At Pig Problem Inc, every Thermal Hunt is different—sometimes it’s fast action, sometimes it’s a grind, and sometimes, it’s a mix of both. On this 1 Night Thermal Hunt, Guide Capt Max and his Hunters got a little bit of everything: a first-time predator, close encounters with Wild Hogs, and a reminder that all of Hunting is never a guarantee.

The night started strong when Harry dropped his First Coyote. It was a textbook setup—Calling a Coyote in to about 50-60 yards before sealing the deal. A great way to kick things off.

Next up: Wild Pigs. They got on a Sounder early, but despite solid effort, nothing hit the ground. Then came two more opportunities—one pair and one single. But when the wind shifted, the pair caught their scent and vanished. The single? Pulled a Houdini and disappeared into the night.

“Hunting is 100% Present Opportunity,” Capt Max said. “Skill, luck, time all have some play. But mainly, going outside is the biggest part.” That’s the truth of it—showing up, putting in the time, and being ready when the moment comes.

And speaking of putting in the time—Max has spent the past four nights sleeping in the van, getting home at 8-9 a.m. This isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. “Everyone wants to be a Hog Hunter for the glory,” he joked. But the reality? It’s long nights, hard-earned take downs, and doing whatever it takes to Solve The Pig Problem.

Crop Protection:

The Real Work Behind Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, we take hunters out for an unforgettable night of thermal hog hunting, but at the core of what we do is something much more important—protecting farmers’ fields. Wild hogs cause massive destruction to crops, costing farmers thousands of dollars in lost yields and damage. That’s why we’re out there, night after night, making sure these invasive pests don’t get the upper hand.

This time, it wasn’t a guided hunt. It was straight-up crop protection. Our owner, Max, didn’t have to lead a hunt—he was out there handling business himself. As he put it:

“Establish dominance. Took out the whole sounder—five hogs on my own. All while listening to a Shawn Ryan podcast. Started early so I could get home at 8:30 AM. Why have so much cool gear if you never actually go outside?”

Max spent the evening lying in a hammock in the middle of a field, waiting for the pigs to show up. The night was calm, the stars were out, and when the hogs rolled in, it was game over for them. One more field saved from destruction.

We know farmers are having a tough time this year, and we want them to know we’ve got their backs. If you have a pig problem, contact us—we’ll take care of it. It’s our number one priority. We hunt farm fields for free—no cost to the farm. Because at the end of the day, keeping crops safe and stopping the damage is what really matters.

Farmers, don’t wait until the damage is done. Give us a call, and let’s get those hogs out of your fields.
