Nighttime Hog Hunting
Guide Hank led his final two-Night Hog Hunt for Pig Problem — and he made the last night memorable.
Night 1: After a dark, slow start, the hunters stalked a group but the Wild Hogs slipped away before they could set up.
Night 2: A true Thermal Hog Hunt. The team tracked a Lone Wild Boar, wandering hog across the field, finally closing the distance and bringing it down after several shots. They continued searching for hours and, near the end of the night, located a small sounder approaching the van. The group took one and wounded a few others as they exited the field.
Overall, a successful Georgia Hog Hunt. We hope this group enjoyed their Wild Hog Hunting trip to South Georgia and are grateful they chose Pig Problem as their Hog Hunting Outfitter.
Guide Hank — congratulations on your next chapter. Have fun, keep living for Christ, and we wish you all the best.
Hog Hunting In Georgia
Night 2 of this two-night Wild Hog Hunt began with a long stalk that didn’t pan out. On one of the first fields we checked, pigs were present but our wind was wrong — the hogs caught the scent of the van and moved off quickly. Wind is the most crucial factor in Guided Hog Hunting: it can shift at any moment, and hogs have an exceptional sense of smell.
Later, they moved to another field and immediately found a group of six pigs, taking one in that encounter. At the next field they checked, they found more hogs and harvested four. After working several fields with no additional sign, they found a new field with a sounder. We made a long stalk and brought down three from that group.
That’s what we call a great night of Hog Hunting. Over the two nights the team took a total of 15 hogs — seven on night one and eight on night two. We’re grateful to have guided this father–son duo. Book your Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem — we love taking Families Hog Hunting.

Guide Noah led night one of a two-night Hog Hunt for Pig Problem. The evening started hot. In the first field they entered they found a group of four and managed to take down one pig.
The next attempt went differently — they turned their Thermal Hog Hunt into a Coyote Hunt. They tried to get close, but couldn’t make the approach and the coyote slipped out of the field.
Shortly after, Guide Jordan called to report pigs on a nearby field. They raced over, got a crack at them, and took two Wild Hogs on that run.
They scanned several more fields looking for the next Spot-and-Stalk Hunting opportunity. Finally, they located another sounder, set up, closed the distance, and finished the stalk with four more hogs.
Night one ended with a total of seven hogs. We can’t wait to see what night two of this Georgia Hog Hunt brings!

Wild Hog Hunting In Georgia
Wild Hog Hunting in Georgia | Thermal Hog Hunts with Pig Problem Inc.
At Pig Problem Inc., we specialize in wild hog hunting in Georgia, offering authentic, fair-chase experiences in Americus, Georgia. We were grateful to host a great family who joined us for a thermal hog hunt—one of the most effective and exciting ways to hunt wild hogs at night.
Before heading into the field, we started at the range to review safety, hunting rules, and zeroing thermal equipment. From there, we moved into planted corn fields to begin tracking hog activity. During the night’s encounter, the group had an opportunity on four hogs and successfully harvested one.
Real Hog Hunting vs. Expectations
One thing we see often in the Georgia hog hunting industry is the bad omen of hunting. This particular group followed our guide with a freezer in the back of their truck—something we see all the time. Many hunters arrive with trailers full of coolers, generators, and equipment, expecting to harvest large numbers of hogs.
But wild hog hunting doesn’t work that way.
It’s like counting your chickens before they hatch or expecting guaranteed results—hog hunting is unpredictable. At Pig Problem Inc., we focus on fair chase hog hunting, where success depends on the hunter’s skill, patience, and conditions in the field.
What Makes a Successful Hog Hunt?
A successful thermal hog hunt in Georgia isn’t measured strictly by numbers. There are nights when:
We’ve butchered over 32 hogs—and the client still expected more
Fired over 1,000 rounds and harvested only 7
Taken a family out who harvested just one hog—and called it the best hunt of their lives
Every hunt is different. Weather, movement patterns, shooting ability, and timing all play a role. That’s why we believe the experience of the hunt is what truly matters.
Our Mission: Hog Control & Unforgettable Hunts
Our goal is twofold:
Help farmers with wild hog control and land management in Georgia
Provide hunters with a memorable, ethical hog hunting experience
The ability to hunt hogs at night with thermal optics and consistently create opportunities is something we take pride in. While we work hard to put hunters on hogs, we never guarantee numbers—only a real, exciting hunt.
If you’re looking for hog hunting in Americus, GA or anywhere in Southwest Georgia, Pig Problem Inc. is ready to guide you.

Thermal Hog Hunting
📋 Field Report: The High-Pressure Mission
Lead Guides: Hank & Jordan (Split Group)
Location: Albany Ga Farm Belt
Tech: Elite Thermal Surveillance
Conditions: Full Moon / High Visibility
Outcome: Multiple Engagements (No Recoveries)
In the world of Boar Hunting in Georgia, there is no such thing as a "guaranteed" harvest. This week, guides Hank and Jordan split a large group to cover maximum acreage during the peak of planting season. While the night was filled with movement and multiple "go-rounds," it served as a stark reminder that when you’re Hunting Wild Hogs in their own area, they always have the home-field advantage.
Tactical Challenges: The Bright Light Factor
Guide Jordan’s group covered extensive ground, scouting through the different fields before finally locating a group of three in a wide-open backyard.
The conditions were far from ideal. With an incredibly bright moon and no natural backdrop, the team had to execute a high-stakes stalk in a low spot to stay undetected. Despite getting within 150 yards—a prime distance for Thermal Hog Hunting—the team opted to engage from their position rather than closing the gap further. In the heat of the moment, the chances didn't find their mark. That’s the nature of the sport: under high-pressure conditions, the margin for error is razor-thin.
The "Iron-Hided" Boar: Hank’s Treeline Encounter
On the other side of the property, Guide Hank was managing his own set of challenges. His group had two distinct opportunities. The first was a timing/finding hogs in the thermal issue; a sow and piglets moved along a treeline, but the window of engagement closed before the hunters could lock on.
The second encounter was even more intense. Hank’s group located a single boar darting in and out of thick cover. After a rapid setup, the team took there chance, confirming multiple hits. However, wild hogs are legendary for their resilience. The boar managed to slip into the thickest brush imaginable. We take land management seriously, and while we are 100% certain it was down, the South Georgia timber claimed the recovery.
Why Experience is the Best Teacher
At Pig Problem, we don't sugarcoat the results. We put our 10 years of experience into every scout and every stalk. Our guides did their job—they found the pigs, managed the wind, and created the opportunities.
Night Hog Hunting is a skill that takes time to master. From managing "buck fever" to finding a target in the scope under pressure, every missed chance is a lesson for the next hunt. We hunt every night during planting season because we are dedicated to the grind, whether the coolers are full or the woods win the night.
