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.

Every Hog Hunt tells a story, and this one with Guide Hank was all about good company, patience, and perfect timing.

The night started like most South Georgia Hog Hunts — checking field after field under the cover of darkness with nothing to show for it early on. But around 2 a.m., things changed. That’s earlier than Hank’s recent average for pig sightings, and this time, it paid off.

The group spotted a Lone Boar wandering through a patch of corn, and the stalk was on. Moving quietly through the stalks, they closed the distance and made it happen — a clean, successful shot and a solid Boar on the ground. Two hunters, one pig, and plenty of good laughs to end the night.

This crew also wanted to keep the memory alive with a European mount boar’s skull — a great way to showcase the trophy and remember the Boar Hunt forever. At Pig Problem, we offer professional European mounts with nationwide shipping, so no matter where you’re from, your mount can be delivered straight to your door safely and securely.

From start to finish, this was another great night of Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia. Whether you’re chasing a single boar or a sounder of ten, Pig Problem offers the full experience — Guided Night Hunts, thermal, and memories that last a lifetime.

There’s nothing like the rush of a Georgia Hog Hunt under the stars — and this crew showed up ready for it. With Guide Hank behind the wheel and the thermals fired up, the Wild Hog Hunt was on.

These guys came back eager and ready to make the most of their 1 Night Guided Thermal Hog Hunt. Their mission? Fill that cooler.

Not long into the night, Hank spotted a Sounder of Wild Hogs over 1,000 yards away in the second field. With the wind working against them, he made the call to pull out and circle around to a different access point — a smart move that set them up for success.

After gearing up and walking in from the opposite side, the team closed the gap and got eyes on the pigs. The stalk went smoothly, the guys called their shots, and within moments, four hogs were down. The result? A cooler packed full of meat and a Boar Hunt to remember.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem, where every Thermal Hunt brings the thrill of the chase, good company, and plenty of pork to go around.

NIGHT 2

Night two of this 2-Night Hog Hunt was one for the books. After taking his first hog on the opening night, the birthday hunter added even more memories to his 21st celebration.

The evening started off slow, with deer moving through the fields. Then, an armadillo made its way across the field, giving the hunter the chance to check another animal off his list. Not long after, a coyote appeared within 100 yards, and with a quick setup, that one was added as well.

But the focus of the night was still on finding hogs. Around 4 a.m., Guide Kaleb spotted a sounder of pigs over a mile away, confirmed on onX. The team adjusted quickly, moving out and around to get into position on the field. The stalk paid off—one hog went down in the open field, while another disappeared into thick cover and couldn’t be recovered.

By the end of the night, the hunters were calling it the “Georgia trifecta”—a Wild Boar, an armadillo, and a coyote all on the same hunt. It was the perfect finish to this Guided Hog Hunt in South Georgia, filled with late-night action, unique encounters, and memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

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.

2 Night Hog Hunt

Guide Kaleb led a determined crew on a 2 Night Hog Hunt packed with action and persistence.

Night one brought a few close encounters. After a careful stalk on a Lone Hog, all three Hog Hunters connected—but the smart Boar made a quick escape into the treeline. Later, a Sounder was spotted on the move, but they crossed into an area out of reach. The rest of the night was full of deer sightings and high spirits.

Night two was a different story. Right at dusk, a Big Sow stepped into the field. A clean approach led to a solid harvest. Later, they crossed paths with the same Small Sounder from the night before—this time getting the upper hand and picking up two more Wild Hogs to end the Thermal Hog Hunt.

Slower movement capped off the night, but the hunters stayed sharp and positive. Kaleb said it best—great attitudes, great aim, and a Thermal Hunt to remember.

Guide Kaleb recently headed out for a night of Crop Protection and Hog Hunting with two special guests — his dad and his girlfriend. The night kicked off in an unexpected way when they spotted a Coyote out in the field. Using nothing more than a cell phone and YouTube sounds, Kaleb was able to call it in close, marking a first-ever Coyote Encounter for both him and his dad.

The action slowed for a bit, but the fields were full of deer, keeping the group alert and moving. Eventually, Kaleb noticed a strange Thermal hotspot in the distance. After a quick gear-up at the van and a cautious approach, he discovered two Wild Hogs bedded down in a low spot.

With patience and precision, the team confirmed their target and made a successful approach — leading to another first: Kaleb’s dad harvested his very First Hog.

It was a night full of memories, milestones, and moments this crew won’t forget anytime soon.

Night Hunt Recap

Night 1 with Guide Kaleb

Our latest Wild Hog Hunt kicked off with Guide Kaleb leading the way on a 2-Night Hog Hunt—and night one was anything but dull.

Things started out a little rocky. They had a bit of a hiccup right out of the gate after bumping the first hog of the night. But with persistence and patience, the crew pushed forward and quickly turned the night around.

Soon after, they spotted a Lone Hog just 20 feet from the van—an up-close encounter that got everyone’s adrenaline pumping. With the Thermal locked in and the team moving quietly, the stalk was on.

The action didn’t stop there. A little while later, we moved in on a small group of three Wild Hogs. The setup was perfect, and two were successfully recovered by the end of the push.

Despite the early challenge, night one ended on a high note with plenty of excitement and great teamwork. Kaleb kept the group locked in and focused, making sure every move counted.

Stay tuned for the recap of night two—it only gets better from here.

Night 2:

Patience Pays Off

Night 2 of Thermal Hog Hunting brought a bit of a challenge. Luke and Clay split up to cover more Hunting Ground, but overall movement was slow thanks to a storm that had just rolled through. Still, Hank managed to spot some Pigs out in a field and gave Clay a call to bring his group over to my location.

We geared up and set out on a stalk toward the last place I’d seen the Wild Pigs, but when we got there, they were gone. Hank climbed up on a pivot for a better vantage point and finally spotted them again—this time tucked deep into some tall grass. It was too thick for a chance, so they decided to wait it out.

Over an hour passed with no clear opportunity, but patience paid off. Eventually, the Hogs moved out of the grass just enough to give us our window. We took our chance and rehomed three Wild Hogs before the night was over. Farmland protetion completed.

It wasn’t an easy Hog Hunt, but it was a rewarding one. Sometimes, the key is simply staying ready and waiting for that perfect moment.
