At Pig Problem, the team embraces the wild, unpredictable, and downright hilarious adventures that come with Hog Hunting. Recently, Guide Capt. Clayton, affectionately known as the Peanut Protector, had the pleasure of leading a fantastic group on a 2 Night Hog Hunting excursion, filled with unforgettable stories and plenty of laughter.
Night 1: Old Friends and New Adventures
Reuniting with familiar faces is always a treat in the Hunting world. On this trip, Andy and John returned after successfully Wild Hog Hunting with Pig Problem Inc two years ago. With excitement in the air, the Hog Hunt began.
Early in the night, the group spotted a small hog lounging in a peanut field, surrounded by a curious gathering of deer. The evening appeared to be brimming with potential!

As they carefully moved through the flipped peanut field, Andy and John found a good vantage point. After taking aim, they took two shots, successfully dropping the Hog. However, the excitement didn’t end there; as the group approached the Wild Hog, they realized it was still alive. In a great show of teamwork, Andy handed over his SIG P322 pistol, equipped with a suppressor and TLR8, to Capt. Clayton for the final dispatch, turning a tense moment into a shared experience.
Although the rest of the night was quieter—only spotting a few deer—the camaraderie on the Hunt kept spirits high. One particularly amusing instance was Andy’s unique countdown method whenever he prepared to take a shot. While our guides count down “3, 2, BANG,” Andy preferred “3, 2, Big Titties.” Capt. Clayton couldn’t help but chuckle at Andy's seriousness whenever he expressed this countdown style on the range.
Night 2: A Little Bit of Chaos
If Night 1 was memorable, Night 2 was nothing short of exhilarating. The group kicked off the night with the excitement of taking down 2 Wild Hogs and a Coyote .

Capt. Clayton quickly spotted a single Pig early in the night, but as they began their stalk, a deer started snorting loudly, spooking the Wild Pig back into the safety of the trees. Capt. Clayton humorously reflected on the situation, imagining himself choking out a deer right on the spot—a testament to his frustration with deer as the second least favorite animal to encounter at night. Number one on that list? Birds—Capt. Clayton had no love for birds either.
After a long stretch of quiet, the nighttime adventure picked up again around 2 AM, and the team had a solid opportunity to take aim at (another) coyote, resulting in a successful shot.

A Memorable Experience
While the first night had its challenges, the laughter and camaraderie made everything worthwhile. Each Wild Hog Hunt brings unique obstacles and surprises, and it’s often the unexpected moments—like deer creating chaos—that create the Best Hunting Memories.
As the Two-Night Hunting Adventure came to a close, the team expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share their passion for Nighttime Hunting with a group excited to embrace the wild experiences that come with it. Every adventure brings everyone closer together, creating unforgettable stories to cherish.
Thanks to Andy and John who joined Capt. Clayton on this Two-Night Hunting Trip. The crew at Pig Problem Inc is already looking forward to their next round in the field. For those interested in embarking on their own Thermal Hog Hunting adventure, reaching out to Pig Problem is a must—who knows what memories may lie ahead!
Keep your sights set, and happy hunting!
