Night two of this 3-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia presented much slower conditions compared to the opening night.

Hog movement was limited throughout the evening, with only one Single Hog located during the night. Despite covering ground and checking multiple areas, activity remained minimal, making it a grind from start to finish.

While hog encounters were scarce, the night still turned into a memorable one for the group. After years of effort during past Hog Hunts, the opportunity finally came together on a long-time goal, making night two especially rewarding despite the slow conditions.

Even nights with limited hog movement play an important role in Multi-Day Hunts. Staying patient, adapting to conditions, and continuing to cover ground sets the stage for future opportunities — especially heading into the final night of a Three-Night Thermal Hunt.

The Reality of Hog Hunting:

A Night with Capt Max

At Pig Problem Inc, every Thermal Hunt is different—sometimes it’s fast action, sometimes it’s a grind, and sometimes, it’s a mix of both. On this 1 Night Thermal Hunt, Guide Capt Max and his Hunters got a little bit of everything: a first-time predator, close encounters with Wild Hogs, and a reminder that all of Hunting is never a guarantee.

The night started strong when Harry dropped his First Coyote. It was a textbook setup—Calling a Coyote in to about 50-60 yards before sealing the deal. A great way to kick things off.

Next up: Wild Pigs. They got on a Sounder early, but despite solid effort, nothing hit the ground. Then came two more opportunities—one pair and one single. But when the wind shifted, the pair caught their scent and vanished. The single? Pulled a Houdini and disappeared into the night.

“Hunting is 100% Present Opportunity,” Capt Max said. “Skill, luck, time all have some play. But mainly, going outside is the biggest part.” That’s the truth of it—showing up, putting in the time, and being ready when the moment comes.

And speaking of putting in the time—Max has spent the past four nights sleeping in the van, getting home at 8-9 a.m. This isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. “Everyone wants to be a Hog Hunter for the glory,” he joked. But the reality? It’s long nights, hard-earned take downs, and doing whatever it takes to Solve The Pig Problem.
