Hunting Wild Hogs

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.

Consistency is the ultimate goal in Hog Hunting Georgia, and night two of our trip with guide Clayton delivered exactly that. In a rare 'rinse and repeat' scenario, the evening unfolded almost identically to the night before, proving that our scouting and field rotation strategies are hitting the mark.

Upon entering the first field of the night, Clayton immediately identified a sounder of Wild Hogs using our Thermal Hog Hunting equipment. The team moved into a tactical position and executed a clean setup, resulting in three successful recoveries to start the evening.

The remainder of the night across the South Georgia landscape remained quiet, allowing the group to reflect on a highly successful multi-day Hog Hunt. It’s always rewarding to work with 'dope' groups who appreciate the process of a professional Boar Hunting operation. With back-to-back nights of sounder success, this trip was a total win for both the hunters and the landowners we support through our Wild Hog management efforts.

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 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.

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).

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem delivered a little bit of everything — early opportunities, tough conditions, and a strong finish.

The night started off quickly when Guide Zev located hogs early on, creating the first opportunity of the Hog Hunt. A setup came together and one hog was successfully recovered, while the rest of the group slipped away into cover.

As the night went on, fog settled in across the fields, limiting visibility and making travel more challenging. Nights like this test patience and focus, especially when scanning large areas under changing conditions.

Late in the Wild Hog Hunt, persistence paid off. After moving to another area, the group encountered a Large Sounder of roughly 30 hogs right in front of them. The hogs initially spooked and moved across the field, but Zev stayed on them, repositioned, and followed their movement.

That decision led to another opportunity on the far side of the field, where the hunters were able to capitalize and recover two additional Wild Hogs — a strong finish to the night.

Three hogs recovered, heavy fog navigated, and multiple sounder encounters made this a solid and memorable One-Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem. Nights like this are a great reminder of why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is never predictable — and why staying persistent matters.

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.
