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.

Night two of this Pig Problem Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia brought a mix of opportunity and challenge.

Early in the night, hogs were encountered at close range across a ditch, resulting in three successful recoveries. The terrain allowed for a controlled setup and efficient outcome despite limited visibility.

Later, another sounder presented an opportunity, but shifting wind conditions and restricted access created a difficult situation. With only one viable approach and unfavorable wind, the hogs detected movement before a setup could be completed.

Even with those challenges, the two-night hunt concluded with nine total hogs recovered, marking a strong and effective Hog Hunt.

Conditions don’t always cooperate, but adaptability and experience continue to make the difference.

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.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Max was a true reminder that Hog Hunting is rarely straightforward — and persistence is often the difference between opportunity and an empty field.

The night began with scattered hog activity. Pigs were located early, but as is common with pressured animals, they stayed on the move and slipped away before a setup could come together. Rather than forcing bad opportunities, Max stayed mobile, continuing to check additional ground and staying ahead of the movement.

As the night went on, hog activity increased across multiple areas. Sounders were spotted in several locations, but shifting positions and timing made clean setups difficult. Still, the effort never stopped. Max continued covering ground, adjusting routes, and staying focused on finding the right opportunity rather than rushing the wrong one.

Late in the night, a large sounder was finally located, creating the best chance of the Wild Hog Hunt. While the setup was challenging and only part of the opportunity could be capitalized on, it was a strong finish after hours of effort and patience.

Nights like this highlight what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about:

• covering miles

• adapting to constantly moving animals

• and staying committed even when conditions don’t line up easily

At Pig Problem Inc, we don’t promise easy nights — we promise honest effort, real hunting, and guides who keep pushing until the last option is checked.

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was a true test of patience, communication, and adaptability. With six hunters split between two guides, Hank and Clay, the plan was to maximize opportunity by covering more ground — but the conditions had other ideas.

The night began with an ambitious attempt to split-stalk a sounder, bringing the full group together for one coordinated approach. Unfortunately, swirling wind, dead-silent conditions, and bright moonlight made the stalk extremely unforgiving. Despite careful movement, the hogs picked up on the disturbance and slipped away before an opportunity could fully develop.

After the sounder busted, the decision was made to split up and Hog Hunt separately, giving each guide the chance to adjust tactics and look for new opportunities.

Hank stayed mobile and eventually located a single hog near the edge of a field, positioned close to the road. With the wind working against him, the stalk required a long, patient approach. As if the setup wasn’t challenging enough, two coyotes appeared and pushed the hog toward the treeline, threatening to end the opportunity altogether.

Fortunately, the hog held just inside the edge of the trees. Hank stayed patient, waited for the right moment, and executed a clean setup — resulting in a successful recovery right where the hog stood, with no long drag required.

On the other side of the Wild Hog Hunt, Clay continued working fields and staying persistent but wasn’t able to connect with another hog on Night 1. That’s Hunting — sometimes one side of a split hunt comes together, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Despite the challenges, Night 1 delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is about:
• adapting to difficult conditions
• staying flexible when plans change
• and capitalizing when the opportunity finally presents itself

With the same group returning for Night 2, spirits stayed high and expectations remained realistic. Night 1 was in the books — and the Boar Hunt was far from over.

Cold Front Hog Hunting In Georgia

Not every night in the field brings nonstop action — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank was a reminder of exactly that.

Early in the night, Hank spotted a single hog moving through an orchard, providing the first sign of life. After that brief encounter, the fields stayed quiet. The team continued covering ground, checking multiple areas and staying patient, but no additional animals showed themselves.

As the night went on, a strong cold front pushed through, bringing wind and a noticeable temperature drop. Sudden weather changes like this often shut hog movement down completely, especially when combined with open fields and pressure from earlier activity.

Whether sitting and waiting or staying mobile, sometimes the animals simply aren’t moving — and that’s the reality of all Hunting, not just hog hunting. Every experienced hunter has nights like this.

While the Hog Hunt ended without a recovery, the effort never stopped. Hank stayed committed to checking fields and giving the night everything it had until the very end.

At Pig Problem, we believe in honest hunting experiences — no guarantees, no shortcuts, just real nights in real fields under real conditions.

Some nights are fast.
Some nights are quiet.
And every night is part of the Hunt.

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).

Night 1: Wild Hog Hunting

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how patience, persistence, and professionalism come together in real hunting situations.

The night began with several quiet fields, but eventually Jordan picked up a faint thermal signature near a thick brush line. After carefully watching it, the signature revealed itself as a hog slowly working its way toward the open field. The hunters were briefed, and the group moved in quietly, hugging the treeline before cutting into the field.

The first setup came together slowly and deliberately. As the group closed distance and waited for a clear shot opportunity, unexpected outside activity interrupted the stalk and pushed the hog back into cover. After handling the situation professionally and safely, Jordan made the call to move on — a tough decision after a long, patient stalk, but the right one.

Later in the night, persistence paid off.

While scanning another field, Jordan spotted a single hog mixed in with deer activity at the back of the field. The wind was favorable, and the group executed a textbook stalk — moving along the treeline, closing distance, and setting up carefully. After repositioning for a better angle, the hunters were able to connect on the hog.

The hog made it a short distance into the treeline before being located in a safe, accessible area. The recovery went smoothly, and the group wrapped up the moment with photos before processing the hog.

The Hog Hunt closed with one more field check before heading in for the night. Beyond the recovery, what truly stood out were the hunters themselves — positive, patient, and fully engaged throughout every stalk. Their attitude and teamwork made the night especially enjoyable and set the tone for Night 2.

A strong, hard-earned Night 1 in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan — proof that persistence and the right mindset always matter in the field.

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.

Wild Hog Hunting In Georgia

1-Night Hog Hunts can unfold fast — and this one with Guide Jordan delivered action, challenges, and nonstop learning from start to finish.

After checking several fields early with no activity, Jordan made a call to try new ground. That decision paid off immediately. As soon as the group arrived, they spotted a Sounder of 10+ Wild Hogs feeding on the far side of the field.

The stalk came together perfectly.
The wind was steady, movement was quiet, and the hogs positioned themselves in a low area that naturally funneled them closer. When the first encounter connected, something rare happened — instead of running away, the sounder pushed toward the hunters, creating fast, close-range opportunities.

During the chaos, one hunter experienced a temporary equipment malfunction. Jordan reacted instantly, stepped in, and worked through the issue while the other hunter stayed focused and kept the pressure on the sounder. Clear communication and teamwork paid off, resulting in two hogs recovered from that encounter.

As the team moved in to gather the hogs, another pig unexpectedly broke from the treeline nearby. Jordan quickly set the hunters back up for a follow-up opportunity, but that hog slipped away into cover.

After photos and processing, the Wild Hog Hunt continued. Later in the night, the group encountered a single hog, but a sudden interruption caused it to vanish before a setup could come together — another reminder of how unpredictable Wild Hog Hunting can be.

The final opportunity of the night came when Jordan spotted two more hogs in a different area. The stalk was smooth, the wind was right, and the hunters closed the distance to under 100 yards. Shots were taken, but both hogs made it into thick cover and couldn’t be recovered safely.

Even without additional recoveries, the night showcased exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about:
• adapting on the fly
• managing fast-moving sounders
• handling equipment issues calmly
• making smart, safe decisions in the field

Jordan led with confidence, communication, and patience — and the hunters stayed engaged and positive through every encounter.

Two hogs recovered, multiple stalks executed, and a full night of action under the stars — a solid one-night Hog Hunting Trip with Pig Problem.
