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.

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.

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.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

Night one of this two-night Georgia Hog Hunt with Pig Problem was a wild one — literally.

Guide Clayton and his hunters spotted a single hog out in the field around 11:30 p.m., kicking off a 45-minute thermal stalk that put their patience to the test. The setup wasn’t easy: deer were blowing and running all over the field, cars were driving by, and people were yelling out on the road searching for a lost dog. Someone even sat on their horn a dozen times just to make things interesting.

Even with all the distractions, the Wild Hog never spooked. He stayed right where he was, completely unaware of the commotion happening around him. Clayton and his hunters moved slow, stayed steady, and pulled off a clean stalk under pressure — the kind of Thermal Hog Hunt that shows why patience and persistence always pay off.

This was only night one of a 2-Night Hog Hunt, so the adventure isn’t over yet. Clayton will be back out tomorrow night with the same hunters, ready to cover more ground and hopefully find a bigger sounder of pigs.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of Guided Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia, Pig Problem is the Outfitter for you. We specialize in Night Hunts, Thermal, and real action in the fields — chasing wild pigs that cause damage to farms across the region. Whether you’re after your first hog or your fiftieth, every Wild Hog Hunt is a new story.

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.

Night 1

Last night kicked off a two-night Boar Hunt with Pig Problem, and Guide Kaleb led the way. The night began quietly with coyotes and deer moving through the fields, but patience always pays off in Hog Hunting. Before long, the group spotted Wild Hogs and set up for a careful stalk.

The pigs slipped into the tree line, and for a while it seemed like they might have disappeared for good. But with persistence and steady movement, the hunters found themselves back in position. The hard work paid off, and the team successfully put one hog on the ground while another slipped back into the woods.

It was the kind of Guided Hunt that reminds us why we love Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia—the challenge, the strategy, and the reward of being in the right place at the right time. The group shared laughs, swapped hunting stories, and ended the night with excitement for what’s to come.

The crew is already geared up and ready for Night 2 of this Guided Hog Hunt in Americus, GA, and we’re looking forward to another round of adventure under the stars.

Wild Hog Hunting

This Wild Hog Hunt started off slow, but once the deer started moving heavy, the action picked up. Not long after 1am, they spotted a small sounder of pigs. They made the stalk, got in range, and they got big sow. Guide Kaleb scanned for others that might’ve been hit, but nothing turned up.

Later in the night, they found another Wild Hog, but it kept moving and slipped onto another property before we could get on it.

Great group of guys to have out — good laughs and a solid Thermal Hog Hunt.

First Time Hunting

Guided by Kaleb, this Hog Hunt began under a heavy downpour, but we had our eyes on a field just outside the storm. We waited there for a bit, watching plenty of deer moving through. Once the skies cleared, it was time to make our move.

Not long after, we spotted a Sounder in the distance. They trekked through thick, sticky mud for a long stalk before finally getting set up. The effort paid off — one young Hunter achieved his very first harvest on his very First Hunt. The excitement on his face said it all — he was hooked.

The night wasn’t over yet. In another field, we found four more Pigs and began another careful stalk. They were on the move, but the hunter still managed to make solid contact before they disappeared into the trees. The rest of the night brought more deer sightings, but the highlight remained that first success — a memory that will stick with him for years to come. We hope to see him back for more Thermal Hog Hunting!

Summer Hunting In Georgia

Guide Kaleb recently led an unforgettable two-night Thermal Hog Hunt filled with action, laughs, and surprises.

Night 1 started slow, but things quickly picked up. The group spotted a Group of Six Pigs that never paused long enough for a clean setup. Not long after, a Massive Bobcat wandered through the field—followed by a surprise visit from a curious Coyote. The team made a long, patient stalk and took a chance at over 200 yards. As the night wound down, the skies lit up with what Kaleb described as the biggest comet he’s ever seen. Wild stories and laughter wrapped up the night.

Night 2 brought results. Kaleb called this pair of Hunters some of the best he’s guided—nonstop jokes and good energy. After checking a few empty fields, they moved to a large peanut field where Kaleb, spotting from above, saw a Lone Pig—then, moments later, a whole Sounder in the distance. The team opted to go for the group and made a stalk of over 1,000 yards. Their patience paid off, landing two Wild Hogs and a third hit that got away. After plenty of photos and laughs, they packed out nearly all the meat themselves. The rest of the night was quiet, aside from some deer and coyotes chasing mice.

This Wild Hog Hunt was full of everything that makes Hog Hunting what it is—strategy, surprises, and great company. And according to the guys, they’ll definitely be back.
