This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered an exciting mix of quick opportunities and extended stalks.

Early in the night, a single hog unexpectedly crossed in front of the vehicle at close range. A fast but controlled setup followed, resulting in a successful recovery.

After regrouping and continuing to scan nearby fields, thermal detection picked up another hog moving in a neighboring area. This encounter required a long stalk of over a mile, with steady movement and careful positioning to close the distance. The effort paid off with another successful recovery.

Even on a single-Night Hunt, patience and persistence proved key. This Guided Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia can shift quickly from fast action to long pursuits, all within the same night.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia delivered a solid result through patience and careful decision-making.

Early in the evening, a sounder was detected moving through wooded cover, positioned just far enough away to limit opportunities. While property boundaries and angles were favorable, extremely quiet conditions made movement risky, and discretion was the best option at the time.

Later in the night, continued scanning led to the discovery of a single hog actively feeding along the edge of the field. With improved positioning and clear angles, a controlled setup was made, resulting in a successful recovery.

Though brief, this Wild Hog Hunt highlighted how Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia often comes down to timing, awareness, and adapting to conditions. Even on a single-night hunt, focused effort can lead to Effective Hog Control and meaningful results.

Night two of this Pig Problem Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia brought a mix of opportunity and challenge.

Early in the night, hogs were encountered at close range across a ditch, resulting in three successful recoveries. The terrain allowed for a controlled setup and efficient outcome despite limited visibility.

Later, another sounder presented an opportunity, but shifting wind conditions and restricted access created a difficult situation. With only one viable approach and unfavorable wind, the hogs detected movement before a setup could be completed.

Even with those challenges, the two-night hunt concluded with nine total hogs recovered, marking a strong and effective Hog Hunt.

Conditions don’t always cooperate, but adaptability and experience continue to make the difference.

Night one of this two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia started like many do — steady searching and scanning fields for movement.

Before long, thermal detection picked up a sounder positioned near the center of a field. To avoid detection, the approach was made from the treeline, which temporarily caused loss of visual contact. Based on experience and terrain layout, attention shifted to a nearby low area that wasn’t visible until closing the distance.

That decision paid off.

The sounder was located exactly where expected, allowing for a controlled setup and a highly productive outcome. By the end of the night, six hogs were successfully recovered, making for a strong and efficient first night of Hog Control.

Strategic movement, terrain awareness, and patience were key factors in the success of night one.

The fourth and final night of this Pig Problem thermal hog hunt in Americus, Georgia was a quiet one — but it ended with a memorable recovery.

After hours of scanning fields and moving through familiar ground, only a single hog was located throughout the night. It quickly became clear this wasn’t just any hog, but a large, mature boar with impressive size and heavy tusks.

A careful setup led to a clean, controlled outcome, and the boar was successfully recovered shortly after. At close inspection, it stood out as one of the thickest boars encountered during the season, with exceptional body mass and striking tusk development.

While the night itself was slow, the quality of the animal made it a fitting way to close out the four-night hunt. It also marked a meaningful final night for guide Clayton, who wrapped up the season hunting alongside landowners he’s built strong friendships with over time.

This hunt served as a reminder that thermal hog hunting in South Georgia isn’t always about numbers — sometimes it’s about patience, timing, and ending on a high note.

Night three of this 4-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia proved to be one of the most eventful nights of the Hunting Trip.

Early in the evening, a newly available field — recently opened back up after Deer Season — was checked for activity. Initial scans showed no movement, but just before moving on, thermal detection revealed a sounder entering the field. A careful setup followed, resulting in multiple successful recoveries before the area went quiet again.

Later in the night, around 1:00 a.m., another sounder was located. This encounter required a long, methodical stalk, with several repositioning attempts to maintain favorable angles and avoid detection. After multiple setups, conditions finally aligned, allowing for a productive outcome.

One hog broke from the group and charged toward the team, creating a fast-moving situation. Despite multiple confirmed hits, the animal continued forward before being successfully stopped at close range. The unexpected moment brought plenty of adrenaline and laughter once the situation was fully under control.

By the end of the night, multiple sounders had been located and several hogs were successfully recovered, making night three a standout example of how unpredictable and exciting Hog Hunting in Georgia can be.

With one night remaining, momentum was high heading into the final stretch of the Wild 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.

4 Night Hog Hunt

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 4-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia was a perfect example of what real hunting looks like — especially when you’re sharing the field with experienced, repeat hunters who know the process.

This group has been hunting with Pig Problem for years, booking multiple nights back-to-back every Hunting Season. Hunts like these are never dull, even when the night throws challenges your way.

The evening started with an early encounter when a single hog appeared near an access point, but its position made a safe approach impossible before it moved off. Shortly after, a sounder was located at long distance, but shifting conditions caused them to slip away before a setup could come together.

Another opportunity developed on a different single Boar, but just as the group was getting set, movement alerted the hog and it disappeared into cover — a reminder of how quickly hogs react, even during careful setups.

Persistence finally paid off later in the night when another single Wild Hog was located, the setup came together cleanly, and the opportunity was capitalized on with a successful recovery.

An equipment issue brought the night to an earlier close than planned, but the group handled it exactly how seasoned hunters do — understanding that long, multi-night hunts are about patience, effort, and letting the week unfold.

Night 1 was officially in the books, with three more nights still ahead and plenty of opportunity left to come.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Max was a true reminder that Hog Hunting is rarely straightforward — and persistence is often the difference between opportunity and an empty field.

The night began with scattered hog activity. Pigs were located early, but as is common with pressured animals, they stayed on the move and slipped away before a setup could come together. Rather than forcing bad opportunities, Max stayed mobile, continuing to check additional ground and staying ahead of the movement.

As the night went on, hog activity increased across multiple areas. Sounders were spotted in several locations, but shifting positions and timing made clean setups difficult. Still, the effort never stopped. Max continued covering ground, adjusting routes, and staying focused on finding the right opportunity rather than rushing the wrong one.

Late in the night, a large sounder was finally located, creating the best chance of the Wild Hog Hunt. While the setup was challenging and only part of the opportunity could be capitalized on, it was a strong finish after hours of effort and patience.

Nights like this highlight what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about:

• covering miles

• adapting to constantly moving animals

• and staying committed even when conditions don’t line up easily

At Pig Problem Inc, we don’t promise easy nights — we promise honest effort, real hunting, and guides who keep pushing until the last option is checked.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Pig Problem showcased exactly how productive a Large Group Hog Hunt can be when experienced guides and motivated hunters work together.

With six hunters in the field, Clayton and Jordan coordinated an early plan to bring the entire group together for a full-team stalk on a sounder. The approach was clean, controlled, and efficient — giving everyone the opportunity to be part of the action.

That first encounter resulted in four hogs recovered, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

After the initial success, the hunt split into two teams to continue covering ground. Clayton quickly located another sounder and was able to capitalize, recovering two more hogs. Meanwhile, Jordan found additional hog activity, but those pigs stayed on the move and disappeared into the trees before a safe setup could be made.

That’s the reality of Hog Hunting — sometimes the opportunity comes together, and sometimes the animals dictate the outcome.

Overall, it was a smooth, efficient, and productive night, made even better by having repeat hunters in the group who understood the pace and expectations of Thermal Hog Hunting.
