At Pig Problem, we don't just see the Georgia dirt as a hunting ground—we see it as the purpose of serving our community for local farmers. For over 10 years, our team has been privileged to stand alongside local farmers, providing a level of expertise and dedication that is unmatched in the industry. As we move into the peak of planting season, our mission is clear: We are here to protect your farming investment.

Stop Paying for Hog Control: Our Professional Promise

For too long, farmers have had to dig into their own pockets to manage Wild Hogs. We believe that protecting your livelihood shouldn't be an added expense. Pig Problem offers full-scale crop protection at no cost to the farmer. No more hiring expensive trappers or paying for subpar "control" services. We are a professional Hog Hunting Company equipped with the best thermal gear in the United States, and we are ready to take the "problem" off your hands immediately.

Nighttime Surveillance: We Hunt Every Night of Planting Season

Planting season is the most critical window for agricultural damage. A freshly planted field is a dinner bell for every sounder in the county. That is why our team is in the fields every single night, regardless of whether we have a Guided Hog Hunt scheduled.

We monitor the "hot zones," track the travel corridors, and intercept sounders before they can root up a single row. Our Thermal Hog Hunting strategy is built on high mobility and rapid response. We cover thousands of acres across the Americus, Ga area every night, ensuring that your fields remain undisturbed while the seeds take root.

Proven Results: 6 Hogs, 1 Night, 1 Objective

The evidence of our effectiveness is in the field. During a recent South Georgia Crop Protection mission, a single one of our hunters was able to identify and remove 6 large hogs in one night from a vulnerable planting.

This isn't just about the numbers; it’s about the thousands of dollars in seed and labor saved for that grower. When we are on your property, we are "on our A-game," utilizing a decade of experience to ensure the most efficient and effective removal possible.

Thermal Hog Hunting

Right now, the clock is ticking for farmers across the South. It is planting season—the most vulnerable time of year for our local farmers. While many see Wild Boar Hunting as a hobby, for the Pig Problem team, this is our duty. Even when we don't have clients in the truck, our guides are in the fields all night, serving as the front line of defense for the crops that feed our community.

Preventing Devastating Wild Hog Agricultural Damage in South Georgia

During Georgia Planting Season, a single sounder of invasive hogs can destroy large amounts of rows in a field of freshly planted corn or peanuts in a single night. They don't just eat the seeds; they root through the rows, destroying the soil structure and costing farmers thousands of dollars in lost yield and replanting.

Our mission is to intercept these sounders before they reach the "soft dirt." By utilizing the best thermal gear in the United States, we can spot movement from half a mile away, allowing us to engage and remove the threat before the damage is done. This isn't just hunting; it’s a necessary tactical intervention to protect the livelihoods of our neighbors.

Why Thermal Hog Hunting is Essential for Farmers

Traditional methods often fall short when the pressure is this high. Night Hog Hunts are the most effective way to manage these populations because hogs are primarily nocturnal during the heat of the planting months.

Our team uses a high-mobility strategy, rotating through dozens of "hot zone" fields every night. We monitor the perimeters and the "bowl" systems where hogs like to hide before emerging into the open plantings. This constant pressure keeps the sounders on the move and away from the vulnerable seeds, providing the Best Hog Hunting in Georgia for the purpose of true land management.

Our Duty: Nighttime Field Surveillance and wild Hog Land Management

We take our role in the agricultural community seriously. Whether we are hosting a 2-Night Hog Hunt for a family or buddy’s "spot and stalk" mission for a local farmers, our commitment to the land never wavers.

Being "on our A-game" means more than just a successful harvest—it means ensuring that when the sun comes up, the farmer's rows are still straight and his seeds are still in the ground. This is why Pig Problem is the premier choice for professional crop protection in the United States.

🚜 Supporting Our Local Growers: The Pig Problem Promise

If you are a farmer in South Georgia near the Albany area and are currently dealing with hogs destroying your land, we want to help.

We offer our crop protection services at no cost to the farmer. We understand that planting season is the most prime time for crop destruction, which is why we are out every single night—regardless of whether we have a Guided Hog Hunt scheduled or not. Our mission is to ensure your fields don't get hit during this critical window. We take pride in being a partner to the agricultural community, using our thermal technology and tactical expertise to keep your rows standing and your investment safe.

Why Wild Hogs Are the Most Destructive Animal in America

Across the United States, one animal is causing billions of dollars in damage every year—and it isn’t a predator like a coyote or mountain lion. The real culprit is the wild hog.

Hog Hunting In Georgia

Wild Hogs, also called feral hogs or feral pigs, are widely considered the most destructive invasive species in the country. Their population continues to explode, and the damage they cause to farms, forests, and ecosystems grows every year.

Today, wild hogs can be found across much of the United States, and in many areas they have become a serious problem for farmers, landowners, and wildlife managers.

Where Wild Hogs Are a Problem in the United States

Wild hog populations exist in at least 35 states, but the heaviest concentrations are found in the southern United States.

Some of the states with the largest wild hog populations include:

  • Texas

  • Georgia

  • Florida

  • Oklahoma

  • Alabama

  • South Carolina

  • Mississippi

  • Louisiana

  • Arkansas

  • California

Warm climates, abundant food, and thick cover allow hog populations to grow rapidly in these areas.

Unlike native wildlife, wild hogs are extremely adaptable. They thrive in farmland, forests, wetlands, river bottoms, and even suburban areas. This adaptability makes controlling their population extremely difficult.

Why Wild Hogs Are So Destructive

Wild hogs cause damage in several ways.

First, they root up the ground while searching for food. Using their powerful snouts, hogs dig into soil looking for roots, insects, grubs, and seeds. This behavior tears up fields, destroys crops, and leaves land looking like it has been plowed overnight.

Second, wild hogs eat anything. Remember when your great grandmother (that may or may not have been a little over weight) would tell you “I’ll eat anything that doesn’t eat me first”. Well that’s how feral hogs are too. They are opportunistic omnivores and consume crops, nuts, worms, fruits, small animals, bird eggs, deer fawns, and even them selves… Yes they are cannibals. We have seen it in action.

Feral Hogs Are Cannibals

Third, hogs reproduce at an alarming rate. A single sow can produce two litters per year, with each litter containing 4–12 piglets. Because of this rapid reproduction, populations can grow faster than most control methods can keep up.

The result is widespread agricultural damage and serious ecological impacts.

The Growing Pig Problem in Georgia

In the southeastern United States, few places feel the impact of wild hogs more than Georgia.

South Georgia Farm Field

Georgia’s warm climate, abundant farmland, and river systems create perfect habitat for feral hogs. Over the past few decades, their population has expanded across nearly the entire state.

For farmers in South Georgia, the problem can be especially severe.

Georgia Peanut Field

This region produces large amounts of crops like:

  • Corn

  • Peanuts

  • Cotton

  • Soybeans

Unfortunately, these crops are also some of a hog’s favorite foods.

How Wild Hogs Destroy Crops in South Georgia

Wild hogs often move into agricultural fields under the cover of darkness. Entire groups of hogs, called sounders, can enter a field and cause major destruction in a single night.

In corn fields, hogs will knock down stalks and consume the ears, leaving rows flattened and unusable.

In peanut fields, they root through the soil searching for peanuts, destroying large sections of planted acreage as they dig.

Cotton and soybean fields can also suffer heavy damage, as hogs trample plants and feed on developing crops.

Wild Hog Damage

Even when hogs don’t eat the entire crop, their rooting behavior tears up the ground so badly that the field may require costly repairs before it can be planted again.

For many farmers, the damage caused by wild hogs isn’t just frustrating—it can represent a significant financial loss.

The Damage Happens Fast

One of the most frustrating aspects of wild hog damage is how quickly it can happen.

Wild Hogs Rooting

A field that looks perfect in the evening can be heavily destroyed by morning. A sounder of hogs may contain 10, 20, or even more animals, and when they begin feeding in crops the damage multiplies quickly.

Because hogs are primarily nocturnal, much of this destruction happens at night when farmers and landowners can’t see it happening.

Why Hunting Plays an Important Role

Controlling wild hog populations requires multiple strategies, including trapping and hunting. In many areas, night hunting has become one of the most effective ways to reduce hog numbers, especially on farmland where damage is occurring.

Thermal Hog Hunting

In South Georgia, hog hunting has become both a practical solution and an exciting outdoor experience for hunters who want to help manage this invasive species.

The guides at Pig Problem spend countless nights helping landowners reduce hog populations while giving hunters the opportunity to experience the adrenaline of a thermal night hunt.

For those who have never seen a field through thermal optics with a group of hogs moving across it, it’s an unforgettable experience—and it plays a small role in helping farmers fight the growing pig problem in Georgia.

Why Hog Hunting Is Critical Before Planting Season in South Georgia

Crop Protection In South Ga

Night one of this 2-Night Wild Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia resulted in one hog successfully recovered, but the importance of the Hog Hunt goes far beyond the numbers.

As Planting Season approaches across South Georgia, Wild Hog Activity increases dramatically. Hogs root up freshly prepared fields, destroy seed beds, and cause thousands of dollars in damage to crops before they ever have a chance to grow.

Proactive Hog Hunting helps reduce pressure on farmland before planting begins. Even removing a single hog can make a difference by disrupting movement patterns and limiting future damage.

Night one served as an important step in protecting local fields and supporting farmers ahead of the growing season.

Crop Protection

When there’s no client Hog Hunt booked, we’re still out there. Crop Protection is a big part of what we do — and it’s our responsibility to Help Local Farmers Protect Farm Fields from Hog Damage.

The night started off slow with plenty of deer moving through, but around 2 a.m., a couple Wild Hogs finally showed up. One was recovered, and another made it to cover after being engaged.

It’s not always fast and furious, but every night in the field counts. Whether it’s a Guided Hog Hunt or a Farm Crop Protection run, we’re always working to keep the pressure on.

Spring is here in South Georgia, and with it comes the hustle and bustle of planting season. Peanuts, Cotton, and Corn are going into the ground right now—and that makes our farmers’ fields tempting targets for one of the region’s Most Destructive Pests: Wild Hogs. Last week, Guide Hank and his dad teamed up on a Crop‑Protection mission—and together they rehomed four hungry hogs before they could wreak havoc on those freshly planted rows.

Why Wild Hogs Threaten Your Spring Planting

Wild Pigs are more than just a nuisance. A single Sounder can gouge hundreds of square feet of soil in a single night as they root for bulbs, tubers, and newly sprouted seedlings. That means:

  • Seed Loss & Poor Germination. As hogs dig up seedbeds, precious peanuts and corn kernels never get the chance to sprout.

  • Soil Compaction & Erosion. Their heavy bodies and constant trampling can compact the soil, making it harder for roots to penetrate and for water to absorb.

  • Increased Disease Risk. Disturbed soil can kick up spores and pathogens, raising the chance of fungal infections and rot for vulnerable seedlings.

When you’re investing time and money in planting, every row matters. A few torn‑up patches today can turn into a significant hit on yields come harvest.

A Family Affair:

Hank and His Dad in Action

On a recent Wild Hog Hunt, our own Guide Hank brought his dad along for some hands‑on Field Protection. Using our advanced Thermal Gear, they pinpointed four hogs sneaking into Farmland. Within minutes, they’d dispatched the threat—no crop damage, no early‑season losses, and, most importantly, peace of mind for the farmer.

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.
