Hunting Wild Hogs

This 1-Night Wild Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was made even better by having returning hunters back in the field.

Right from the start, activity was strong. The first field of the night produced a small group of hogs, resulting in one successful recovery. Moving on to the next field kept the momentum going, where a larger group was located, leading to additional recoveries early in the Wild Hog Hunt.

As the night went on, activity slowed and visibility dropped, with remaining hours spent scanning fields that held deer but no additional hog movement. Even so, the early action made for a productive and enjoyable night.

Hog Hunts like this highlight why repeat clients are such an important part of Pig Problem Inc. Strong results, good conversations, and shared experiences in the field are what keep Hunters coming back year after year.

Night one of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia got off to a fast and productive start.

The first field of the night immediately produced results, with a sounder located along a tree line. With coordinated positioning and good communication, the group was able to make the most of the opportunity, resulting in multiple successful recoveries early in the evening.

After splitting up to continue covering ground, additional hog activity was located in a nearby field where two separate sounders were detected. Focusing on the larger group led to further recoveries, adding to an already productive night.

Later on, a Large Boar was spotted traveling alone in another field. A careful setup followed, and the boar was successfully recovered, bringing the night’s total to eight hogs.

After several more hours of scanning additional fields and confirming no further hog movement, the night wrapped up as a highly successful start to the Wild Hog Hunt — setting the tone for night two.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered a solid result through patience and careful decision-making.

Early in the evening, a sounder was detected moving through wooded cover, positioned just far enough away to limit opportunities. While property boundaries and angles were favorable, extremely quiet conditions made movement risky, and discretion was the best option at the time.

Later in the night, continued scanning led to the discovery of a single hog actively feeding along the edge of the field. With improved positioning and clear angles, a controlled setup was made, resulting in a successful recovery.

Though brief, this Wild Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia often comes down to timing, awareness, and adapting to conditions. Even on a single-night hunt, focused effort can lead to Effective Hog Control and meaningful results.

The fourth and final night of this Pig Problem thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia was a quiet one — but it ended with a memorable recovery.

After hours of scanning fields and moving through familiar ground, only a single hog was located throughout the night. It quickly became clear this wasn’t just any hog, but a large, mature boar with impressive size and heavy tusks.

A careful setup led to a clean, controlled outcome, and the boar was successfully recovered shortly after. At close inspection, it stood out as one of the thickest boars encountered during the season, with exceptional body mass and striking tusk development.

While the night itself was slow, the quality of the animal made it a fitting way to close out the four-night hunt. It also marked a meaningful final night for guide Clayton, who wrapped up the season hunting alongside landowners he’s built strong friendships with over time.

This hunt served as a reminder that thermal hog hunting in South Georgia isn’t always about numbers — sometimes it’s about patience, timing, and ending on a high note.

Night 2 of a Georgia Hog Hunt

Night two of this four-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia required patience and persistence.

Several fields were checked throughout the night with little activity early on. Conditions looked promising, but movement stayed limited for hours. As is often the case with Nighttime Hog Control, success came late rather than fast.

Around 2:00 a.m., thermal detection finally picked up activity in one of the fields. Two hogs entered the area and were successfully recovered after careful shot placement and confirmation.

While the night didn’t produce a large group, it was a productive outcome after extended scouting and steady effort. With two nights remaining, the focus stays on locating consistent movement and continuing effective hog control for local farmland.

Every hunt is different, and nights like this highlight why experience, timing, and persistence matter in Wild Hog Hunting across South Georgia.

Hunting a Sounder of Wild Hogs

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (Luke) was a perfect example of why persistence matters in Hog Hunting.

The night started with early promise when Hogs were spotted on the very first field. By the time the group geared up and moved into position, the Pigs had already slipped away — a common tease that experienced hunters know all too well.

As the night went on, fog rolled in, making scanning and travel more challenging. Several fields were checked through the early morning hours with no activity, testing patience and focus. But rather than calling it early, Hank kept pushing and stayed alert for one more opportunity.

That decision paid off.

While driving past another field near the road, Hank spotted a Large Sounder of Wild Hogs moving through the area. Acting quickly, he circled around, positioned the group behind the field, and led a quiet approach from the downwind side.

The stalk came together perfectly. The group slipped in behind the sounder and made the most of the opportunity, resulting in five hogs successfully recovered — a strong finish to a night that demanded patience and persistence.

Fog, long hours, and steady effort all led to a memorable ending. Another successful Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt in the books with Pig Problem Inc and Guide Hank (Luke).

Some hunters come out once and have a good time.
Others come back — and make every night memorable.

Darrell returned to Pig Problem once again for a two-night hunt with Guide Clay, and Night 2 turned into another standout performance. From the first setup to the final field, Darrell stayed focused, confident, and consistent.

Over the course of the night, Darrell successfully handled Multiple Hog Encounters, navigating singles and groups alike and putting together one of the most productive nights of the season. His ability to stay calm, make smart decisions, and adjust to fast-moving hogs showed exactly why he’s become one of Clay’s favorite hunters to guide.

The conditions made the night even more impressive.
Temperatures dropped hard, freezing the ground solid and turning the fields into concrete. Movement was tough, footing was unforgiving, and every step mattered. Even so, Darrell pushed through and made the most of every opportunity.

Late in the night, after a slip on the frozen ground, the decision was made to call it and head back in — a smart move after a long, successful night in harsh conditions.

Beyond the results, what truly stands out about Darrell is the kind of person he is to Wild Hog Hunt with. Easygoing, respectful, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, he brings great energy to the field every time he shows up. That’s the kind of hunter guides hope will keep coming back — and Darrell already plans to do just that.

Another memorable night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and one of our favorite repeat hunters of the season.

Thermal Boar Hunting

Night 1 of this two-night hunt with Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how quickly Thermal Hog Hunting can change — and how preparation and communication make all the difference.

The evening began with a thorough range session, where the hunters asked great questions and took time to understand the process. That foundation paid off later in the field, as clear communication and calm decision-making were key throughout the night.

After checking several fields with little activity, the Hog Hunt came alive when Jordan encountered a sounder of hogs feeding in a corn field alongside a large group of deer. Situations like this require extra patience and precision. Jordan walked the hunters through the plan step by step, explaining how hogs and deer often share the same ground — and how to approach the pigs without pushing deer into their path.

Using a narrow opening along the treeline, the group made a quiet, controlled stalk. Once in position, what initially appeared to be just a few hogs revealed itself as a larger sounder bundled together, creating a single, intense thermal signature.

When the opportunity came, the field erupted with movement. The sounder split in multiple directions, and Jordan maintained constant verbal control, calling pauses when needed to ensure everyone’s safety — especially as deer moved through the area. Once the field cleared, the hunters were able to continue safely and effectively.

By the end of the encounter, two hogs were successfully recovered. As the group approached, Jordan even spotted additional hogs still lingering deeper in the field, creating another opportunity — though no further recoveries were made.

Photos were taken, the hogs were processed, and the hunters requested to keep one of the heads as well — a great way to remember a successful first night.

Beyond the action, what stood out most was the hunters themselves. They listened closely, followed commands perfectly, and handled the entire night with confidence — especially impressive for those new to this style of Hog Hunting.

A strong start to a two-night hunt, full of action, learning, and excitement — and a great Night 1 with Guide Jordan in South Georgia.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

Some Hog Hunts stand out not just for the pigs you find, but for the people you Hunt with — and this night with Darrell was easily one of Clay’s favorites of the season. From the moment they met, the two hit it off, talking and laughing through nearly the entire Thermal Hog Hunt. It felt less like guiding and more like chasing hogs with an old friend.

The night couldn’t have started better.
The very first field Clay pulled into held a Big Georgia Boar, standing broadside in the open. Darrell set up calmly, took one clean chance, and the Wild Boar never took another step. A picture-perfect start to the Boar Hunt.

Later in the night, the crew came across a sounder of around 20 hogs. The stalk came together quickly, but the fast-moving group slipped into the treeline before a recovery could be made. Clay searched the edge of the woods thoroughly but wasn’t able to locate any hogs inside the cover — a reminder of how unpredictable and fast wild hogs can be, even under thermal.

Even so, the night remained a great experience. Good company, a Big Boar on the ground, and plenty of stories to take home. Hunts like this are exactly why we love what we do.

We hope Darrell comes back soon — he’s the kind of hunter that makes every mile, every scan, and every stalk worth it.

Wild Hog Hunting In Cold Weather

Cold weather changes everything in Georgia Hog Hunting, and this night proved it. The temperature dropped hard, the air was sharp, and the Pigs were on the move from the moment Guide Clay hit the fields.

Pigs were everywhere, but they weren’t holding still. Over the course of the night, Clay made four solid stalks, each one quiet, patient, and perfectly executed — but every time he closed in, the pigs drifted straight into the treeline before the team could get set.
It was one of those classic right place, wrong time situations that every hunter knows well.

Even with pigs constantly slipping into cover, persistence paid off.
Clay eventually got the team lined up on a pair of hogs, and both were successfully recovered in the field — a clean finish to a night full of movement and challenges.

The fields were soft from recent rain, and at one point Clay managed to get the van stuck (again). But in true guide fashion, a shovel, traction pads, and a lot of determination got everything back on track. That’s part of Hog Hunting farmland — conditions change fast, and guides adapt right along with them.

Despite the cold and the constant pig movement, it was another successful and memorable night of Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem.
Some nights are full of sounders, some are full of stalks, and some — like this one — are all about timing, persistence, and a strong finish.
