2 Night Hog Hunting Trip

Night 2 picked up right where Night 1 left off — with freezing temperatures that had the fields shining and fog crystallizing in the beams of our lights. It was the kind of cold that’s rare for South Georgia and completely changes how Wild Hogs behave.

The first field of the night held a single hog, and the team made a clean approach. Even with solid encounters, the hog pushed deep into the trees after covering nearly 500 yards, leaving no opportunity for recovery.

Around midnight, another Lone Hog appeared — this time requiring a mile-long walk to get into position. The stalk was perfect, but this hog reacted the same way as the first, absorbing the impact and disappearing into the treeline.

Sometimes that’s just how wild hogs are built:
tough, driven, and capable of covering incredible distances when pressured.

But persistence always pays off.

Later in the night, the crew located a group of three, and this time everything came together. Two hogs were recovered in the field, while the third slipped into cover that couldn’t be safely searched. Still, it was a strong finish to a cold, challenging night.

One of the most memorable parts of the Thermal Hog Hunt wasn’t even a hog — it was the fog crystallizing in the freezing air, creating a sparkling curtain across the field. A rare and beautiful sight in South Georgia, especially during a Boar Hunt.

Two nights, shifting temperatures, miles walked, and multiple encounters… and another successful Thermal Hunt with Pig Problem.

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 In Americus, Ga

After Night 1, where the only pigs Clay found slipped into the woods before the hunters could even step out of the van, Night 2 delivered one of those classic “right place at the right time” moments that make Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so addictive.

The hunters decided to call it for the night, but Clay kept checking fields on the way back — just in case. And good thing he did. On the very last field they planned to check, he spotted a Single Hog out on Wise Road, visible all the way through the railroad tracks.

Singles are some of the hardest pigs to get close to. They move differently, notice everything, and rarely stay in one spot. But somehow, Clay worked in tight and closed the distance to about 30 yards — a rare opportunity and a perfect setup for the hunters.

The hog made a hard push toward the trees, but the team stayed calm and steady, and the stalk ended successfully. After the slow, freezing first night, this moment felt like pure luck in the best possible way.

Clay said these hunters were awesome to guide Hog Hunting— patient, upbeat, and genuinely excited to be out in the fields. He even said that if they ever come back, he wants to be the one to take them out again. Nights like this show exactly what we love about Pig Problem Hunts:
unpredictable fields, smart pigs, good people, and unforgettable stories.

Another two-night Thermal Hunting Adventure in the books — and Night 2 closed it out with exactly the kind of challenge we live for.

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.

Guide Hank kicked off another great Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and the action started early.

The night was crisp and cold — perfect for spotting movement across the open fields. Before long, the team located their first pig of the night out in a cut cornfield, and the stalk was on. It was a textbook setup, quiet and steady, leading to an early success that set the tone for the evening.

As the night went on, the crew covered more ground, exploring new fields and tree lines. Just when things seemed to settle down, another surprise came — a pig dashed out in front of the van, making for a close (and funny) encounter to wrap up the night.

At Pig Problem, we love nights like this — full of action, great people, and memories that last. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and that’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so exciting. Some nights test your patience, and others deliver early surprises — but either way, it’s always an adventure.

Another successful Georgia Hog Hunt in the books with Guide Hank.

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 Boar Hunting In Georgia

Another exciting night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (a.k.a. Luke)!

The night started like many of our Wild Hog Hunts do — cruising the backroads and scanning fields for heat signatures. After checking a few spots with nothing moving, the team finally pulled into a field and saw pigs scrambling at the far end. The wind was swirling, so the stalk had to be slow and careful.

They crept closer, staying just downwind until they got in range. Once the thermals lit up, the hunters got set and the chance happened — four hogs re-homed, with one more that managed to make it into the woods.

That’s the kind of night that keeps us hooked on Hog Hunting — every stalk is different, every chance counts, and every Boar Hunt tells a new story.

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Night Hunts across South Georgia, chasing wild hogs that tear up farmland and crop fields. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we hunt, stalk, and go, giving you a true, hands-on Hunting Experience.

Whether you’re chasing your first pig or adding to your tally, Pig Problem delivers the thrill of Thermal Boar Hunting in Georgia — real guides, real pigs, and real fun.
