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.

Thermals, Teamwork, and 14 Pigs in One Night

When everything clicks — teamwork, timing, and technology — Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia turns into something unforgettable.

Guide Clay kicked off a wild night that started with a massive sounder of about 20 pigs (plus plenty of little ones). I was there for this one, we had Daniel flying the drone and calling Clay over once we spotted the group out in the field. We geared up, planned our approach, and began a long, careful stalk.

Once we were in range, the thermal lit up the field. Within seconds, we had success with two pigs down and plenty of excitement to kick off the night. As we were taking photos, the Thermal Drone picked up more movement just 20 yards away, so we reset quickly and moved again. That second stalk led to ten more pigs recovered, making it an incredible double run — fast-paced, smooth teamwork, and some amazing footage to come.

After I left, Clay and the hunters continued the night with another stalk, bringing the total to 14 pigs spotted and 12 recovered before sunrise. A perfect example of how much ground and action a good thermal setup can cover in just one night.

Thermal Hog Hunting is the real deal — high-tech, high-energy, and totally unpredictable. Between the heat signatures, drones, and quick field decisions, no two Hog Hunts are ever the same.

That’s what makes Pig Problem special — we combine real field knowledge, advanced thermal gear, and guides who know how to adapt fast. Nights like this show why Georgia Hog Hunting is unlike anywhere else in the country.

Wild Boars Are The Toughest Animals!!

Some Hog Hunts keep you humble — and this was one of them.

Guide Clayton led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and while the first night was quiet, night two brought some long-awaited action. Around 2 a.m., the team finally spotted a Big Boar with the wind perfectly in their favor. Everything lined up just right… until it didn’t.

It took several well-placed rounds before the hog took off for the trees without showing much reaction. Wild hogs are unbelievably tough animals — with thick skin, dense muscle, and layers of tough cartilage that can make even a clean hit look like nothing happened. It’s no wonder they’re one of the hardest mammals in North America to drop clean.

Their hides evolved to protect them from predators and, more importantly, from each other. Boars use their tusks — razor-sharp and dangerous — to fight for dominance, and that thick skin is their armor. It’s part of what makes Boar Hunting in Georgia so challenging and so impressive.

Even though this Boar disappeared into the trees, the Hog Hunt was far from a loss. The hunters were laid-back, great company, and full of stories — one of them even owns a tackle shop in Anchorage and happens to be best friends with Big Dan from Homer, Alaska. Small world moments like that make every hunt special.

That’s the thing about Hog Hunting — it’s unpredictable, real, and never guaranteed. But every night in the field brings new stories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for just how incredible these animals really are.

At Pig Problem, we live for these moments — the challenge, the chase, and the chance to experience the wild side of Georgia Boar Hunting.

Night two of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton brought a mix of challenge, excitement, and a good dose of laughter to finish things off.

The night started slow, with just a single pig spotted around 1 a.m. The crew tried to stalk in close, but the wind shifted and the pig bolted back into the trees — a reminder that in Hog Hunting, every detail matters.

A few hours later, around 3 a.m., the luck turned. The team came across a group of six pigs feeding in the field. The hunters quickly got into position and dropped two in the open field, while a few others were hit but managed to make it back into the trees before recovery. Still, a solid success and an exciting end to the night.

And to top it all off, the photo just above the van had everyone laughing — Clayton said it looks like Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins side by side, with the dad towering over his son.

That’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so great — you never know what’s going to happen. Some nights test your patience, others surprise you with fast action, but every Wild Hog Hunt with Pig Problem brings new memories, new stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Every Hog Hunt tells a story, and this one with Guide Hank was all about good company, patience, and perfect timing.

The night started like most South Georgia Hog Hunts — checking field after field under the cover of darkness with nothing to show for it early on. But around 2 a.m., things changed. That’s earlier than Hank’s recent average for pig sightings, and this time, it paid off.

The group spotted a Lone Boar wandering through a patch of corn, and the stalk was on. Moving quietly through the stalks, they closed the distance and made it happen — a clean, successful shot and a solid Boar on the ground. Two hunters, one pig, and plenty of good laughs to end the night.

This crew also wanted to keep the memory alive with a European mount boar’s skull — a great way to showcase the trophy and remember the Boar Hunt forever. At Pig Problem, we offer professional European mounts with nationwide shipping, so no matter where you’re from, your mount can be delivered straight to your door safely and securely.

From start to finish, this was another great night of Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia. Whether you’re chasing a single boar or a sounder of ten, Pig Problem offers the full experience — Guided Night Hunts, thermal, and memories that last a lifetime.

Night two of this two-night South Georgia Hog Hunt with Pig Problem was one for the books.

Guide Clayton and his Hunters were locked in from the start — moving with precision and patience that made it look like they’d done this a thousand times before. The result? Three Wild Hogs down under the South Georgia night sky.

They almost had a fourth, but that last pig managed to slip into chest-high grass and earned himself a bit of peace for the night. Still, the team couldn’t have asked for a better ending to their Guided Thermal Hog Hunt.

Clayton shared a cool insight after the Wild Hog Hunt: for the last two days, he’s been eating only meat, salt, and water — living like hunters did long ago. “I wanted to feel what it was like to be human before everything got easy,” he said. “And I feel amazing.”

That mindset sums up what Pig Problem is all about — reconnecting with the primal side of Hunting, using modern Thermal Technology and equipment to do what humans have done for centuries: hunt, adapt, and thrive. Just in a 20th century way.

If you’re ready to experience Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia, Pig Problem delivers the real thing — Thermal Hog Hunting, Wild Boar action, and stories you’ll remember for life.

Large Group Hunts In Georgia

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

Night two of this 2-Night Hog Hunt was one for the books. After taking his first hog on the opening night, the birthday hunter added even more memories to his 21st celebration.

The evening started off slow, with deer moving through the fields. Then, an armadillo made its way across the field, giving the hunter the chance to check another animal off his list. Not long after, a coyote appeared within 100 yards, and with a quick setup, that one was added as well.

But the focus of the night was still on finding hogs. Around 4 a.m., Guide Kaleb spotted a sounder of pigs over a mile away, confirmed on onX. The team adjusted quickly, moving out and around to get into position on the field. The stalk paid off—one hog went down in the open field, while another disappeared into thick cover and couldn’t be recovered.

By the end of the night, the hunters were calling it the “Georgia trifecta”—a Wild Boar, an armadillo, and a coyote all on the same hunt. It was the perfect finish to this Guided Hog Hunt in South Georgia, filled with late-night action, unique encounters, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt

NIGHT 1

This 2 Night Hog Hunt was already a special one, as it marked a young hunter’s 21st birthday. Guide Kaleb led the way, and the excitement kicked off on night one.

Around 1 a.m., the hunters spotted a lone hog in the field. They made a careful stalk, closed the distance, and it came together perfectly—the hog was down right where it stood. The rest of the night stayed quiet, but that single hog made the Birthday Hunt one to remember.

With one hog already on the ground, the hunters are ready to head back out for night two and put in the work again. That’s the thrill of Hog Hunting in South Georgia—every night is different, and every successful stalk adds to the story.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

This Boar Hunt was a night to remember on this Georgia Hog Hunt. These returning hunters have been out with us several times, and after plenty of hard work we finally sealed the deal tonight.

Around midnight, Guide Kaleb spotted a sounder of wild hogs nearly 900 yards out. After a long stalk, they got set up and connected in the field. Later in the night, another sounder was located. With one hunter sitting out, Kaleb joined in alongside the other hunter, and together they put the pressure on the hogs. By the end of the night, they got four hogs.

The hunters were grateful for the opportunity and thankful to have been put right on the pigs. Nights like this are what make Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia such an Unforgettable Hunting Trip.
