On a moonlit night, Guide Capt Ben led an intrepid group through Pig Problem in Americus, GA, for a 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt. The evening's first encounter was with a Solitary Boar luxuriating in a waterhole, a remnant of the previous night's rainfall. The team crept up to a 70-yard distance, took aim, and fired. Wounded, the Boar plunged into the deepest part of the pool, turning its retrieval into an unexpected adventure.
Later, the group pressed on to Plains, Ga, where fortune smiled upon them with a sighting of a Sounder. With the wind in their favor, they bided their time until the Hogs shifted position. As they initiated their stalk, most of the Wild Hogs retreated into the trees, but two lingered in the open. Shots rang out, and a Gilt was cleanly taken down in the field, providing an abundance of Prime Meat.
