You never know how a Hog Hunt in Georgia will unfold — and this one proved that patience always pays off.

Guide Capt. Clayton led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia, and after spotting a group of pigs around midnight, the team began a careful stalk. Just as they were getting set up to take the shot, the pigs slipped right back into the trees and never came back out.

But the night wasn’t over yet. A few hours later, persistence paid off when they found a single Wild Hog out in the open. Each hunter took one chance — and that was all it took. They got the pig instantly and never moved again.

That’s the beauty of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia — no matter how unpredictable the night starts, one good opportunity can turn it all around. Great success!

Late-Night Success:

A Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, we’re no strangers to long nights in the field, but some Hog Hunts test patience more than others. Guide Clayton recently led a group on a 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the Pigs didn’t make it easy, persistence paid off in a big way.

A Slow Start, A Big Finish

Clayton and his Hunters covered miles of farmland under the cover of darkness, Scanning Fields and tree lines for any sign of Wild Hogs. But despite hours of effort, the night remained frustratingly quiet. Not a Single Pig showed up—until 5 in the morning.

But when the Wild Pigs finally did appear, they came in numbers. A Sounder of 30+ Hogs spread out across the field, feeding and moving cautiously. With daylight fast approaching, the Hog Hunters had only one chance at getting the job done.

Long Shots and Big Drops

The setup wasn’t perfect—tough terrain and less-than-ideal angles forced the group to take longer shots than usual. But with steady hands and the right gear, they made their moment count, Dropping 2 Hogs before the rest of the Sounder scattered.

The Grind Pays Off

Some nights, the Feral Hogs come easy. Other nights, they keep you waiting until the last possible moment. But that’s part of what makes Thermal Hog Hunting such a thrill—you never know what the night will bring.

Big thanks to Clayton and his hunters for sticking it out and making the most of the opportunity. At Pig Problem Inc, we Hunt hard, no matter how long it takes. Want to test your skills on a Night Hunt of your own? Book your Wild Hog Hunt today!
