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.

Hog Hunting or Duck Hunting?

Every now and then, a hunt starts with something you just don’t expect — and tonight’s surprise came when the hunters stepped out of the truck wearing full duck-hunting waders. Not a bad idea with how wet the fields have been from days of rain, just… not something you see every night on a Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia.

And to make it even better, one guy eventually ditched the waders and went full shorts in 48-degree weather. That’s commitment.

The night kicked off with hogs on Wise Road, but movement in the brush made them slip out before the stalk could come together. Not unusual — pigs adapt instantly to sound, scent, and shifting wind, especially when fields are wet and soft from rain.

Later, the hunters took a chance on a pair and got some quick action in before moving west. The big moment came on Ben’s, where a Sounder was working across the field. With patience and a clean setup, the crew managed to recover two hogs — a solid win on a night full of surprises, laughs, and energy.

Through it all, these guys kept great spirits. They were fun, easygoing, and fully embracing the adventure — waders, shorts, cold air and all. That’s what makes Wild Hog Hunting in Georgia such a good time. You never know what you’ll see, how the night will unfold, or what stories you’ll walk away with.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem — where every Hog Hunt is different, and every group brings its own brand of entertainment.

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.

Thermal Hunting With The Northern Lights

It’s not every day you see the Northern Lights in South Georgia, but tonight was one of those unforgettable nights. The sky glowed with colors that most of us never get to witness down here — a rare sight that made the long night even more special.

Guide Clay and his hunters covered plenty of ground before finding a small group of pigs in the second field. They were spread out across the area, which meant taking a careful, steady approach to each one individually — the kind of patience and focus that Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is known for.

After that, the fields went quiet, but nobody minded. The combination of the northern lights, the cool air, and the peaceful stillness of the Georgia night made it one of those Wild Hog Hunts you just don’t forget.

Every Hog Hunt with Pig Problem is different — some are fast-paced and full of action, and others slow down and remind us why we love being out there. It’s not just about the pursuit; it’s about the experience, the atmosphere, and the chance to see the world in a way few people ever do.

Another memorable night in the books with Guide Clay and Pig Problem, under one of the prettiest skies South Georgia has ever seen.

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.

Georgia Hog Hunts

Guide Hank led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded everyone how quickly things can change in the field.

The night had been quiet until just around midnight, when the team was driving through a wooded stretch and suddenly spotted a Sounder of Pigs about 200 yards out. They stopped fast, geared up, and got ready to make a move.

The wind was shifting along the treeline — never a good sign — and Hank knew that hesitation could send the pigs running. So, in a quick and decisive moment, he adjusted the team’s position and turned a surprise encounter into a successful outcome.

That’s what Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about — patience, timing, and adapting to whatever the night throws your way.

At Pig Problem, we don’t sit and wait. We move, stalk, and strategize to give our hunters the most exciting and ethical Thermal Hog Hunting experience in Georgia. Every night brings something new — new challenges, new lessons, and new memories made under the stars.

Another great night in the books with Guide Hank and his hunters. 🌙

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.
