At Pig Problem Inc., our mission is rooted in effective Feral Hog Management and protecting Georgia’s agricultural assets. During the second night of a recent management project led by guide Hank, our team demonstrated the efficiency required to handle high-density Wild Hog populations.

The evening began with the identification of a large sounder utilizing a key sector of the property. Recognizing the opportunity for a significant impact, our team executed a tactical repositioning. By shifting our approach to the south side of the field, we were able to conduct a stealthy, low-profile stalk.

Using professional-grade Thermal Hog Hunting technology, our group successfully closed the distance. The resulting encounter was a major success for the landowner, with nine hogs successfully recovered in a single round. This level of efficiency is what defines our approach to Hog Hunting in Georgia. We don't just scout; we strategically remove nuisance wildlife to ensure long-term land stewardship and crop protection in South Georgia.

Consistency is great, but adaptability is what puts numbers on the board when Boar Hunting in Georgia. On the first night of our Hunting Trip with guide Hank, we were reminded that the fields of South Georgia are always moving.

We began the evening at a high-traffic field, but the initial sounder caught wind of our approach and cleared out. In many cases, that would be the end of the field, but our Thermal Hunting scouts picked up a second group of Wild Hogs entering from the far woodline at the exact same time.

We didn't miss our second opportunity. The team pivoted quickly, setting up a new line of sight and successfully recovering three hogs. This 'double sounder' action is exactly why Hog Hunting in this region is so legendary. It’s not just about the first stalk; it’s about having the technology and the patience to see the next play developing before it happens.

Sometimes in Hog Hunting Georgia, fortune favors the bold. The opening night of our latest trip with guide Clayton started with what can only be described as a 'gangster' encounter. Upon pulling into the very first field of the night, the team stumbled directly onto a large sounder of Wild Hogs.

In a rare turn of events, the group found themselves a mere 20 yards away from the sounder. As the hogs began walking directly toward the team's position, Clayton executed a rapid 'Hail Mary' setup. Thanks to the group's quick composure and our professional Thermal Hunting equipment, the encounter was a complete success, resulting in multiple recoveries at point-blank range.

The rest of the evening across the South Georgia landscape was quiet, with significant deer activity but no further hog movement. However, that high-adrenaline start proved exactly why we stay ready from the moment we hit the field. With these guests back for night two, we have a strong foundation to build on as we continue our search for Wild Hog activity.

Success in Hog Hunting Georgia often comes down to being in the right place at the perfect time. On the opening night of a recent 2-night Hunting Trip, guide Hank led the group into a highly productive area of South Georgia that delivered immediate results.

While our team was preparing for the initial setup, a sounder of Wild Hogs began moving directly toward our position. The hogs appeared completely undisturbed, allowing the group to stay patient as the distance closed. This is where professional Thermal Hunting technology truly shines—allowing us to monitor the sounder's every move without alerting them to our presence.

The sounder eventually made it to within 40 yards of our position, creating a high-percentage, close-range opportunity. Because the team was already set up and waiting, the encounter was a major success, resulting in four hogs successfully recovered.

It was a 'piece of cake' finish to a well-executed stalk. Boar Hunting in Georgia can be unpredictable, but when you combine expert guiding with active hog movement, the results speak for themselves. This high-action night set a massive tone for the rest of the trip and proved once again why Pig Problem Inc. is the leader in Georgia Hog Hunting.

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.

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 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.

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.
