Photo: How Can A First Hunt Get Better Than This? @PigProblem

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.”

Night 2 Recap

Night two of the Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb brought smoother action and a bit of early excitement.

After heading into the second Farm Field of the night, the team quickly spotted a Sounder moving through the area. With conditions just right, the group had a clean setup and made the most of the opportunity. Two Wild Hogs were successfully recovered and to new homes, with signs that a few others had moved off after the initial engagement.

The rest of the night settled down, with the only movement coming from curious deer crossing through the fields. Even with things going quiet after that first encounter, it was a solid night of Thermal Hog Hunting and a good reminder that anything can happen out here—sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Stay tuned for more updates from the field as Kaleb and the crew continue Tracking Hogs through the South Georgia Farmland under the cover of night.

Night Hunt Recap

Night 1 with Guide Kaleb

Our latest Wild Hog Hunt kicked off with Guide Kaleb leading the way on a 2-Night Hog Hunt—and night one was anything but dull.

Things started out a little rocky. They had a bit of a hiccup right out of the gate after bumping the first hog of the night. But with persistence and patience, the crew pushed forward and quickly turned the night around.

Soon after, they spotted a Lone Hog just 20 feet from the van—an up-close encounter that got everyone’s adrenaline pumping. With the Thermal locked in and the team moving quietly, the stalk was on.

The action didn’t stop there. A little while later, we moved in on a small group of three Wild Hogs. The setup was perfect, and two were successfully recovered by the end of the push.

Despite the early challenge, night one ended on a high note with plenty of excitement and great teamwork. Kaleb kept the group locked in and focused, making sure every move counted.

Stay tuned for the recap of night two—it only gets better from here.

Night 2:

Patience Pays Off

Night 2 of Thermal Hog Hunting brought a bit of a challenge. Luke and Clay split up to cover more Hunting Ground, but overall movement was slow thanks to a storm that had just rolled through. Still, Hank managed to spot some Pigs out in a field and gave Clay a call to bring his group over to my location.

We geared up and set out on a stalk toward the last place I’d seen the Wild Pigs, but when we got there, they were gone. Hank climbed up on a pivot for a better vantage point and finally spotted them again—this time tucked deep into some tall grass. It was too thick for a chance, so they decided to wait it out.

Over an hour passed with no clear opportunity, but patience paid off. Eventually, the Hogs moved out of the grass just enough to give us our window. We took our chance and rehomed three Wild Hogs before the night was over. Farmland protetion completed.

It wasn’t an easy Hog Hunt, but it was a rewarding one. Sometimes, the key is simply staying ready and waiting for that perfect moment.

Clayton’s Two-Night Hunt with Doug and Jason:

A Wild Success

At Pig Problem Inc., we’re all about delivering an Unforgettable Hog Hunting experience for our Hunters. Guide Capt Clayton recently guided Doug and Jason, two avid outdoorsmen from Wisconsin, on a 2 Night Hog Hunt, and it was an adventure worth sharing.

Night One:

A Quick Strike

The first night of the Hog Hunt started with a bit of excitement. After arriving at the first field, Clayton spotted a small group of Wild Pigs, but they quickly spooked as the team was getting set up. Not wanting to let the opportunity slip away, they took a chance with a tried something from about 200-300 yards away—and it paid off. Doug and Jason both connected and successfully brought 2 Pigs in one swift move to a new home. As Peanut Protector Clayton put it, it was “gangster,” showing just how skilled they were. Unfortunately, they didn’t spot any more Pigs that night, but the adrenaline from the initial success made up for it.

Night Two:

The Early Morning Victory

The second night, however, was a different kind of challenge. It took Clayton all night to locate the Wild Hogs, but the effort was well worth it. At 5 a.m., he found 3 Hogs, and Doug and Jason were able to successfully tag all three to new homes. According to Clayton, they were “gangster at what they did” and made the Thermal Hunt an absolute pleasure. Not only are they Top-Notch Hunters, but they’re also great people to spend time with—easy-going and fun to be around.

Clayton couldn’t recommend Doug and Jason more, giving them a 10/10 rating for the Thermal Hog Hunt. It’s always a bonus when hunters not only bring their A-game but also make the experience enjoyable for everyone involved.

Two Nights in the Field with Max and Caleb

April Hunt Recap from Pig Problem

This past week, Guide Capt Max and our newest team member, Caleb, headed out for a Two-Night Hog Hunt with a great Group of Hunters. Caleb is currently training under Max’s wing, and this Hunting Trip was a perfect opportunity to gain some solid experience in the field. Here’s how it went down.

Night 1:

Weather Delays, But Worth the Wait

Photo: Hog Hunting @PigProblem

The first night started off slow. The usual signs of activity just weren’t there early on, and before long, the skies opened up with rain and thunder rolling through the area. It looked like we might have to pack it in, but after a bit of patience, the storm passed—and so did our luck.

Not long after the skies cleared, movement picked up. A Single Hog made its way into the Farm Field, and our Hunters were ready. Let’s just say they made the most of the opportunity. That one moment turned the whole night around.

Night 2:

Slow Action, Great Company

Night two was quieter. Wild Hog movement was minimal with only a few coyotes and the occasional deer sighting. Sometimes the Pigs just don’t want to play the game, but that’s part of what makes each Hog Hunt unique.

What the night lacked in action, it made up for in laughs and good company. These Hog Hunters were a great group—stories were shared, jokes were flying, and memories were made. That’s what it’s all about.

Caleb’s doing an awesome job getting up to speed under Max’s guidance, and we’re excited for the future as he becomes part of the regular guide team.

Until next time—stay ready, stay sharp, and we’ll see you in the fields for Thermal Hog Hunting.

Birthday Memories & Family Traditions:

There’s something special about spending time in The Outdoors with Family — especially when it’s centered around tradition, adventure, and good memories. This past week, Capt. Max had the pleasure of guiding a 2-Night Hunt for Easton and his family, and it was one for the books.

Easton’s birthday celebration was more than just a Hog Hunt — it was a Family Hunt. Surrounded by relatives who share a love for the outdoors, Easton got to celebrate his big day with a Hog Hunting Trip he’ll never forget. The group brought great energy, positive attitudes, and a shared appreciation for responsible Hunting. It’s always refreshing to guide folks who not only understand the importance of land and wildlife management, but who also take time to pass those values down to the next generation.

Family Hog Hunts like this remind us why we do what we do. Seeing Young Hunters out in the field, learning the ropes and building memories with parents, uncles, and grandparents — that’s what it’s all about. It’s more than just time outside. It’s about connection, mentorship, and setting the stage for a lifelong respect for the outdoors.

Over the course of two nights, the group did a great job of re-homing Wild Pigs and helping support local farmers. Everyone played a part, and Easton handled the challenge like a seasoned pro. Watching him step up and take in every part of the experience with maturity and excitement made this Birthday Hunting Trip one that’ll be talked about for years.

At Pig Problem, we love seeing families come together in the field. These moments build bonds, teach responsibility, and ensure that the next generation keeps the tradition alive — the right way.

Happy birthday, Easton! We’re proud to have been a part of your celebration, and we hope to see you and your crew back again soon.

Two Nights of Chaos, Calm, and Connection

A Memorable Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Not every Hog Hunt is about filling the cooler. For some folks, it’s about the full experience—the thrill of the stalk, the stillness of the night, the laughter, the challenges, and the stories that come out of it all. That’s exactly what this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Peanut Protector Capt. Clayton was about.

Night One:

Quiet Fields and Missed Chances

The first night was all about patience and persistence. We moved through the darkness with high hopes, but despite three stalks and plenty of effort, the Pigs managed to stay just out of reach. No opportunities, no close encounters—just quiet fields, long walks, and a chance to soak in the calm side of the Wild Hog Hunt.

While the action was slow, the energy of the group never faded. These hunters were out there for more than just results—they were soaking in every moment, taking in the sights, the sounds, and the full experience of Hunting Wild Hogs at Night.

Night Two:

A Little Chaos and a Lot of Fun

The second night brought a shift in momentum. We had two exciting stalks that brought us in close, and the team was ready. The first opportunity came out of nowhere—sparked by a moment of confusion over changed names in the OnX app—and just like that, the night turned around.

It was a night full of action, laughs, and the kind of adrenaline that keeps you coming back for more. As Capt. Clayton put it, “I love chaos just as much as I love calmness.” That balance—the extreme highs and lows—is what makes Hunting so real and rewarding.

It’s About More Than Just the Hunt

This Hunting Trip was a reminder that success in the field isn’t measured by numbers alone. It’s about the people, the moments, and the memories made along the way. And with this group, every mile walked and every minute spent under the stars was worth it.

Whether you're finding Hogs across the fields or just soaking in the quiet beauty of a South Georgia night, a Hunt with Pig Problem is more than just a Hog Hunt—it’s an experience. Book your spot today and see what your story will be.

Persistence Pays Off:

A Two-Night Hog Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Some Hog Hunts are fast-paced, and some require patience—but every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Peanut Protector Guide Capt. Clayton recently led a determined group on a 2 Night Hog Hunt, pushing through long hours and late nights to make it happen.

Night 1:

The Waiting Game

The first night was all about persistence. Hours passed without a single sighting, and just when it seemed like the Hogs had disappeared for the night, movement finally caught our attention at 4:30 a.m. A long stalk followed, testing both endurance and strategy, but in the end, the effort paid off. From a distance of around 150-200 yards, the team made it count, wrapping up the night with a well-earned success.

Night 2:

A Quick Start, Then the Quiet

Photo: Sleepy Piggy @PigProblem

The second night started off promising, with a Wild Hog spotted early at 9 p.m. The excitement was high, but after that, the night took a quiet turn. Despite covering plenty of ground, no more Pigs showed up, making for a long trek back home around sunrise.

These two nights were a testament to the Unpredictable Nature of Hog Hunting—some nights are packed with action, while others test patience and determination. But no matter what, the experience, the challenge, and the adventure always make it worth it.

Late-Night Success:

A Hunt with Guide Clayton

Photo: Pigs Down @PigProblem

At Pig Problem, we’re no strangers to long nights in the field, but some Hog Hunts test patience more than others. Guide Clayton recently led a group on a 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the Pigs didn’t make it easy, persistence paid off in a big way.

A Slow Start, A Big Finish

Clayton and his Hunters covered miles of farmland under the cover of darkness, Scanning Fields and tree lines for any sign of Wild Hogs. But despite hours of effort, the night remained frustratingly quiet. Not a Single Pig showed up—until 5 in the morning.

But when the Wild Pigs finally did appear, they came in numbers. A Sounder of 30+ Hogs spread out across the field, feeding and moving cautiously. With daylight fast approaching, the Hog Hunters had only one chance at getting the job done.

Long Shots and Big Drops

The setup wasn’t perfect—tough terrain and less-than-ideal angles forced the group to take longer shots than usual. But with steady hands and the right gear, they made their moment count, Dropping 2 Hogs before the rest of the Sounder scattered.

The Grind Pays Off

Some nights, the Feral Hogs come easy. Other nights, they keep you waiting until the last possible moment. But that’s part of what makes Thermal Hog Hunting such a thrill—you never know what the night will bring.

Big thanks to Clayton and his hunters for sticking it out and making the most of the opportunity. At Pig Problem Inc, we Hunt hard, no matter how long it takes. Want to test your skills on a Night Hunt of your own? Book your Wild Hog Hunt today!
