The night started with heavy deer activity, but our team stayed patient, waiting for the real targets to emerge. While scouting the early fields, we spotted a coyote. So it was time to switch it up to Coyote Hunting. With a clean chance, the team successfully secured the coyote, providing some much-needed Predator Control for the local farmers.

After navigating through several quiet properties, the momentum shifted. Using our AGM Thermal, we located a pair of pigs and executed a successful stalk, securing the first hog of the night with some impressive precision.

We weren't done yet. After circling back to a high-traffic area, we located a sounder. The team managed to pick out a single and get it, resulting in plenty of "hooting and hollering" in the field! There is nothing like the rush of a successful Thermal Hog Hunt to end a long night. We are grateful we got to take these guys out and hope they had a blast experiencing Hog Hunting.

A 2-night hog hunt is all about persistence. If you find a "hot spot" on Night 1, you can bet the sounder will be back—and on Night 2 of this mission (that doesn’t happen every time), Guide Hank took the team right back to the silage pile to see if the buffet was still open…

The Repeat Strike: Thermal Hunting in the Silage

Sure enough, the thermal signatures were back in the same spot. The team used the same stealthy approach from the previous night, creeping toward the group as they fed on the silage.

Once the team had their lanes, they opened there chances. We confirmed one hog gotten on the spot, while a few others—feeling the pressure —managed to limp into the thick cover. In the world of Wild Boar Hunting, returning to a successful site is one of the best ways to ensure your guests stay "on the meat" for the duration of their Hunting Trip.

As the night progressed and the hog activity slowed down, the team pivoted to one of the most popular things to hunt in 2026: Coyote Hunting.

Why Predator Control Matters

Coyotes are the "ghosts of the woods," and they are one of the primary predators affecting local livestock and fawn populations in South Georgia. At Pig Problem, we utilize the best thermal gear to level the playing field against these high-speed targets.

During the second half of the night, Hank’s thermal picked up a lone coyote moving through the perimeter. The team executed a rapid-response stalk, closing the gap and successfully getting the predator. Adding Predator Hunting to your thermal hunting session adds a layer of intensity that most hunters never get to experience.

The Best Coyote Hunting in the United States

Whether you are here for the hogs or looking to test your skills against a wary predator, our guides are experts in Nighttime Predator Hunting. We understand the movement patterns of Georgia's coyotes and how to utilize high-end optics to secure a harvest in total darkness.

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.

Night two of this two-night thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia brought a steady close to an already productive trip.

Two single hogs were located over the course of the night. The first was detected at a significant distance in open ground. After careful positioning and follow-up, the hog was successfully recovered, even after covering additional ground.

Later in the night, the final field checked produced another opportunity. A single hog was located feeding along the edge of the field, allowing for a controlled setup and a successful recovery.

With both opportunities capitalized on, night two wrapped up efficiently, bringing the hunt to a strong conclusion. Combined with the action from night one, the two-night hunt demonstrated how persistence and coverage continue to produce results during thermal hog hunting in South Georgia.

Night two of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia tested patience early but delivered strong results by the end of the night.

Initial movement was limited, with a single hog located and briefly stalked before moving off into wooded cover. Despite continued effort and extended driving through multiple areas, activity remained quiet for several hours.

As the night stretched on past 4:00 a.m., experience and instinct played a key role. Acting on a hunch, the group committed to checking one last field — even though it meant going out of the way.

That decision paid off.

Upon arrival, a group of six hogs was located, providing the opportunity that had been building all night. Through careful setup and teamwork, the encounter resulted in multiple successful recoveries, closing out the Wild Hog Hunt on a high note.

Night two was a perfect example of why persistence matters in Thermal Hog Hunting across Americus, Georgia — slow nights can turn productive right up until the end.

Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

Night 2 of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was simple, clean, and exactly how a good stalk is supposed to feel.

After covering fields throughout the night, Clay and his hunters finally located a single hog moving alone. Lone pigs are some of the most unpredictable animals in the field — they travel differently, react differently, and don’t always hold still like larger sounders do.

Still, the team moved in quietly, using the wind and terrain to their advantage. A steady, patient approach put them right where they needed to be, and before long, the single was successfully taken — a solid ending to a Hog Hunt that required focus and good teamwork.

That’s the beauty of Hog Hunting in Georgia:
Some nights are fast-paced sounders, and some come down to a single animal and a perfectly executed stalk. Both are equally rewarding, and both highlight why Thermal Night Hunting is one of the most thrilling experiences outdoors.

Another successful night in the books with Guide Clay and Pig Problem — professional guides, real Thermal Gear, and Wild Hog Hunts that always bring something different.

Some nights test your patience, your wind reading, and your ability to adapt — and this was one of those nights. Guide Hank led this 1-Night Hog Hunt, and even with challenging conditions, the group still ended the night with solid success.

A Pig Right Out of the Gate

The Wild Hog Hunt began when the team spotted a hog from the road. As soon as they pulled into the field, the hog slipped into the treeline directly in front of them. That’s how fast things can change in South Georgia farmland — timing and movement matter.

A Sounder on the Opposite Side

Hank turned the group around and checked the opposite side of the field, where a full sounder was already out feeding. The wind wasn’t ideal, and the positioning made the approach tricky.

Even with those challenges, the team made the most of the opportunity and managed to connect with one of the hogs, though it moved off before they could reach it.

Real Hog Hunting isn’t always perfect. It teaches you how tough, aware, and resilient these animals are.

Returning to the First Spot

While searching the fields, the team noticed another hog back on the side where they originally started. They circled back, moved in carefully, and this time everything came together smoothly. The hog stayed in the open long enough for Hank to guide the group into a clean, controlled approach, ending with a successful recovery.

A Challenging but Successful Night

Every Thermal Hog Hunt is different. Nights like this remind you why Georgia Hog Hunting is such a unique experience.

Some nights out here in South Georgia test your patience, your grit, and your faith all at once. This was one of those nights. Guide Hank and his hunter, Ryan, were covering field after field with no pigs in sight. The clock crept toward 4 a.m.—prime time for calling it quits—but Hank wasn’t ready to give up.

As they rolled up on the last two fields, Hank said a quick prayer, asking the Lord to bring out some pigs before the night was over so Ryan could head home with some meat and a story worth telling. “We both said amen and kept on moving,” Hank said.

The first field was empty. The second didn’t look much better. Hank stopped on a high spot and scanned the area—nothing, not even a deer. Disappointed, he decided to wait it out a little longer, giving it until the last possible minute before packing up. When he powered the optic back on for one final scan, the field had completely changed. “It was littered with pigs,” he said with a laugh.

Hank grabbed Ryan and set him up for the shot. When it was over, Ryan had taken down three pigs and filled the cooler with a good haul of meat.

It was a perfect ending to a long night—and a reminder that sometimes, all you can do is Hog Hunt on a prayer.
