Why Hog Hunting Is Critical Before Planting Season in South Georgia

Night one of this 2-Night Wild Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia resulted in one hog successfully recovered, but the importance of the Hog Hunt goes far beyond the numbers.

As Planting Season approaches across South Georgia, Wild Hog Activity increases dramatically. Hogs root up freshly prepared fields, destroy seed beds, and cause thousands of dollars in damage to crops before they ever have a chance to grow.

Proactive Hog Hunting helps reduce pressure on farmland before planting begins. Even removing a single hog can make a difference by disrupting movement patterns and limiting future damage.

Night one served as an important step in protecting local fields and supporting farmers ahead of the growing season.

The Real Work Behind Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, we take hunters out for an unforgettable night of thermal hog hunting, but at the core of what we do is something much more important—protecting farmers’ fields. Wild hogs cause massive destruction to crops, costing farmers thousands of dollars in lost yields and damage. That’s why we’re out there, night after night, making sure these invasive pests don’t get the upper hand.

This time, it wasn’t a guided hunt. It was straight-up crop protection. Our owner, Max, didn’t have to lead a hunt—he was out there handling business himself. As he put it:

“Establish dominance. Took out the whole sounder—five hogs on my own. All while listening to a Shawn Ryan podcast. Started early so I could get home at 8:30 AM. Why have so much cool gear if you never actually go outside?”

Max spent the evening lying in a hammock in the middle of a field, waiting for the pigs to show up. The night was calm, the stars were out, and when the hogs rolled in, it was game over for them. One more field saved from destruction.

We know farmers are having a tough time this year, and we want them to know we’ve got their backs. If you have a pig problem, contact us—we’ll take care of it. It’s our number one priority. We hunt farm fields for free—no cost to the farm. Because at the end of the day, keeping crops safe and stopping the damage is what really matters.

Farmers, don’t wait until the damage is done. Give us a call, and let’s get those hogs out of your fields.
