These new hunters got to experience the highs and the lows of hunting and the success also. The first encounter the hogs dropped, but then ran into the swamp. After a few other fields being checked they were able to get this single Hog down. We are grateful to be apart of families first hog hunting experience and greatly appreciate families choosing us for their safety and Hog Hunting Memories.

First time Hunting Ever!!! So glad we were able to be apart of this moment for Ryan and Kingston. Guide Noah Started the night out with a bit of heartbreak with stalking on a sounder only for it to walk in the woods. After checking fields near by and circling back its was slow. Finally They were stalking on a large sounder of 20+ hogs only for this single boar decided to pop out between them. So they took the single boar hoping the sounder would stay in place. This is real hunting, not a pen where people release them so you can get your rocks off. We are 100% real Thermal Night Hog Hunting in Americus, GA.

The hogs are moving with all the peanuts and corn being planted. Sometimes it’s a waiting game with them moving in and out of tall corn. Night hunting significantly increased the odds of a sucessful hunt. Guide Noah was able to make a good pig pile for Jeff and Levi’s first night of Hog Hunting. This is some of the best times to Hunt in Georgia for feral hogs. Book your next hunt with us at Pig Problem Inc.

Night of Hog Hunting In Georgia

Long night of Hog Hunting yielded this single boar in a field that keeps getting tore up. Farmer has planted corn and the hogs keep rooting it up. Guide Noah hit some fields that have been problematic earlier in the night and didnt see a singe hog. After getting this one he was able to get onto a sounder but a passer by decided to spoil the hunt and shine lights. We work for farmers on private farm fields, but sometimes Mother Nature and non sportsman can ruin a hunt. We are grateful to have gotten this Boar Hog out of the field.

The night of Thermal Hog Hunting required a lot of scouting across multiple properties before we found the action. After a long journey to locate a moving sounder, our patience paid off when a second group emerged in the field. The team successfully navigated the terrain and secured two harvests in the thick brush and open field.

Later in the evening, we located a group of hogs positioned directly under a pivot system. This was a high-stakes scenario that required absolute discipline for this Wild Hog Hunt stalk. We stalked to within 80 yards and waited several minutes until the pigs cleared the machinery. Once they were in a safe opening between the pillars, the team showed incredible marksmanship, securing two more hogs without any risk to the surroundings.

It was a night defined by careful planning and professional execution. We are grateful we got to take this father-son team out in the field and hope they had a great time experiencing Hog Hunting in Americus GA!

A Night for the History Books

Some nights, the stars align and the Wild Hogs are moving across every field in Americus, GA. Last night was one of those nights. Guide Noah set a new personal record for himself, leading his group to a staggering 17 harvests in a single night of Guided Hog Hunting. Also this is only night 1 of there 2 night hog hunt!

The Reality of the Hunt: Marksmanship Matters

While 17 pigs in a night is an incredible milestone, it’s important to remember that Wild Boar Hunting is a true challenge. We can put a group in front of a sounder of 20+ hogs, but at the end of the day, it comes down to the hunter's marksmanship and composure. Hunting Wild Hogs is different—it isn’t easy, and it isn’t a "given."

A night like this is rare and speaks to the skill of the hunters we had out with us. Whether it was the first 4 pigs on Wise Road or the 7 pigs in a single go-around at Wilmar, these guys were locked in. We’ve seen groups face massive sounders and only secure one or two, so seeing a team execute this well is truly awesome.

Protecting the Farmland

During the night, we even ran into Wes, a local farmer whose fields we protect. He personally thanked the Hog SWAT team for our work in mitigating crop damage. To wrap up the night, the team located one final sounder near "Rats Nest" just before 4:00 AM and secured 5 more pigs to bring the total to 17.

This was easily the Best Hog Hunting we’ve seen in a long time. We are beyond grateful to these hunters for their incredible effort and for their precision in the field.

Night 2 they got 1 Wild Hog!

On this one-Night Hog Hunt, these hunters scored some boar action. In the first two fields they entered, each held a lone boar. Although activity slowed after that, it’s always exciting to take on a Wild Boar. We hope they had a great night of Wild Boar Hunting. We’re grateful they chose us to guide their hunt and hope they return for more Thermal Hog Hunting in the future. Book your Wild Hog Hunt with Pig Problem today.

Wild Hog Hunting in Georgia | Thermal Hog Hunts with Pig Problem Inc.

At Pig Problem Inc., we specialize in wild hog hunting in Georgia, offering authentic, fair-chase experiences in Americus, Georgia. We were grateful to host a great family who joined us for a thermal hog hunt—one of the most effective and exciting ways to hunt wild hogs at night.

Before heading into the field, we started at the range to review safety, hunting rules, and zeroing thermal equipment. From there, we moved into planted corn fields to begin tracking hog activity. During the night’s encounter, the group had an opportunity on four hogs and successfully harvested one.

Real Hog Hunting vs. Expectations

One thing we see often in the Georgia hog hunting industry is the bad omen of hunting. This particular group followed our guide with a freezer in the back of their truck—something we see all the time. Many hunters arrive with trailers full of coolers, generators, and equipment, expecting to harvest large numbers of hogs.

But wild hog hunting doesn’t work that way.

It’s like counting your chickens before they hatch or expecting guaranteed results—hog hunting is unpredictable. At Pig Problem Inc., we focus on fair chase hog hunting, where success depends on the hunter’s skill, patience, and conditions in the field.

What Makes a Successful Hog Hunt?

A successful thermal hog hunt in Georgia isn’t measured strictly by numbers. There are nights when:

• We’ve butchered over 32 hogs—and the client still expected more

• Fired over 1,000 rounds and harvested only 7

• Taken a family out who harvested just one hog—and called it the best hunt of their lives

Every hunt is different. Weather, movement patterns, shooting ability, and timing all play a role. That’s why we believe the experience of the hunt is what truly matters.

Our Mission: Hog Control & Unforgettable Hunts

Our goal is twofold:

• Help farmers with wild hog control and land management in Georgia

• Provide hunters with a memorable, ethical hog hunting experience

The ability to hunt hogs at night with thermal optics and consistently create opportunities is something we take pride in. While we work hard to put hunters on hogs, we never guarantee numbers—only a real, exciting hunt.
