Hog Hunting In Georgia

Some nights you cover miles before anything happens — and that’s exactly how Night 1 started for our South Georgia thermal hog hunt with Guide Clay.

We hit the first field at 8:44 PM and immediately spotted a familiar face: the same lone boar we stalked two nights earlier. Just like last time, he never stopped to feed, never slowed down, never looked back — he powered across the field like he had somewhere important to be. Before we could make a move, he was gone.

From there, we checked field after field, putting in the miles with nothing to show for it. Then we finally saw a pig… except it was casually strolling on the side of the road — the one place we can’t hunt. Figures, right? We drove past with a sour taste in our mouths and kept moving.

About an hour later, our new guide Jordan was checking fields for us and called with a lead on a place we call Honey Bun. It took about 45 minutes for him to get back to us, and by the time we arrived (around 3:20 AM), he thought the pigs had slipped back into the trees. He could barely make out shapes deep in the back, but wasn’t sure if they were pigs or shadows.

Still, we decided to stalk in — just hoping they were still out there. I was on this hunt too, getting footage, and the entire walk we couldn’t see or hear a thing. No movement, no heat signatures… nothing.

Then we made a sharp turn up onto higher ground — and there they were.
A sounder, right where they were supposed to be.

The hunters from upstate New York set up fast and handled business. Before long, five pigs were successfully rehomed(lol), and we loaded up the meat for the ride back to the Windsor so they could get a few hours of rest before Night 2.

Thermal hog hunting is unpredictable — some nights are quiet, some nights take patience, and some end with a surprise sounder waiting right over the hill.

Let’s see what Night 2 brings…

Hunting Wild Hogs With Thermal

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.

Our latest Hog Hunting Trip in Americus, GA was led by guides Clayton and Hank on a split Boar Hunt. While it may look like the same Wild Hog from different angles, it was actually three different hogs taken during Clayton’s part of the night. The Thermal Hunt started off slow, but as soon as the moon dropped around 2 a.m., the animals began to move and opportunities opened up. Every shot taken resulted in a hog on the ground — a true sign of a successful night.

Meanwhile, on Hank’s side of the Hog Hunt, the group had a productive outing but decided to call it a night early, heading in around 4 a.m. Even with no photos, it was still a solid Wild Hog Hunt and a reminder that every group’s pace is different.

Wild hogs continue to cause major damage to farmland across South Georgia, and nights like this show why Guided Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus is such an important experience. Whether it’s protecting crops or making unforgettable memories under the stars, each Night Hog Hunt has its own story to tell.

Night 2

The second night of this 2 Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem brought plenty of excitement. Early in the evening, the crew encountered a single hog and got the night started on a high note. Not long after, three more hogs were spotted in the distance, leading to a long stalk across the field. Although those slipped away, the action wasn’t over yet.

Later in the night, a sounder appeared but was spooked by deer before the hunters could move into position. Still, patience and persistence paid off. Around 3 a.m., Guide Kaleb returned to the same field with the group and, just as expected, the hogs were back. After a careful approach, the hunters successfully closed out the night with three more hogs, including a Large Boar.

When the dust settled, the group wrapped up the Boar Hunt with five hogs total over two nights of Thermal Hog Hunting in Americus, Georgia. It was the perfect reminder that success in the field comes down to timing, patience, and determination.

Pig Problem is proud to provide Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia that create not only results but also lasting memories.

First Hog Hunt

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 One of a Split Hunt with Guides Hank and Luke

At Pig Problem, every Hog Hunt is different—but when you’ve got two top-tier guides and a motivated crew, it’s bound to be a good time. On the first night of a recent 3-night Thermal Hog Hunt, Guides Hank and Clayton teamed up to lead a group of six hunters through the South Georgia fields on a split Wild Hog Hunt adventure.

With Hank guiding three Hog Hunters and Clayton taking the other three, the night started with promise—and it didn’t disappoint. Despite light rain and a thick layer of cloud cover, the team pressed on and soon found themselves face-to-face with a group of crop-raiding Hogs.

Thanks to perfect timing and great communication, they managed to get all six Hunters into position for a coordinated setup. The result? Six less Wild Hogs tearing up the fields, and six satisfied hunters with a story to tell.

The cool temps and misty weather only added to the atmosphere, making the whole experience feel even more epic. As Hank and Luke both said, “It was a solid night,” and a great way to kick off what’s shaping up to be an exciting 3 Night Hog Hunt.

Stay tuned for what’s next—we’ll be sharing updates from Night Two and Three soon.

One Night with Guide Hank:

A Successful Thermal Hog Hunt

At Pig Problem Inc, we’re always excited to help our guests experience the thrill of Thermal Hog Hunting — and last night was no exception. Guided by Hank, our group had a fantastic evening out in the Farm Fields of South Georgia.

The action started early. Right on the first field of the night, we located a Sounder of Wild Hogs. With a little maneuvering around a nearby irrigation pivot, the group was able to get into a great position. Thanks to some careful planning and teamwork, we had a strong encounter, making solid connections and having immediate success.

While the rest of the night was quieter, the early opportunities made it a memorable Hog Hunt. Hank said it best:

“Pigs weren’t a problem tonight. We got on them early and made it a good one.”

We’re proud of how the evening unfolded — it’s always about being in the right place, reading the Planted Field, and making the most of each opportunity. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, but with a little patience and the right strategy, it always leads to a rewarding Hunting Experience.

Thank you to everyone who came out with us! If you’re ready for your own night of Thermal Hunting adventure, book your Hunting Trip with Pig Problem today — and come see why South Georgia is one of the best places for wild hog hunting.

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.

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.
