When it comes to hog hunting, the excitement is undeniable, and our recent Two-Night Hog Hunting adventure guided by Peanut Protector Clayton was no exception. Will and Ryan joined us for a Hog Hunt filled with unexpected twists and memorable moments. Here’s how their journey went down!
Night 1: The Long Wait and a Lonely Hog
“Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah,” was the mantra echoing in Guide Clayton’s head as he finally witnessed the sweet success of his Hunters. After a slow start where thoughts of “you don’t want to know the things that I say in my head when it is late and I haven’t seen any pigs yet” buzzed through his mind, things began to change.
The first half of the night felt like an eternity, with not a Hog in sight. Just as the team was losing hope around 2 AM, fortune smiled upon them. In the midst of the cut corn and overgrowth, they spotted a lonely little Hog searching for friends. Sadly for him, he met Will and Ryan instead.
The terrain presented a challenge – there were spots where the Wild Hog would seemingly vanish into the thick brush, while other patches offered a crystal-clear view. After a couple of adjustments to their positioning, they finally secured a clear shot. It only took two bullets before the Little Hog fell, disappearing into the dark underbrush.
Finding the Hog, however, became somewhat of an adventure in itself. With a mischievous grin, Clayton joked about needing to hop onto Ryan’s shoulders – a pivot, but human and not steel! Even with the fun and laughter, they eventually located their prize, marking a successful end to their first night.

Night 2: Chasing Shadows
Eager to build on their success, the second night started strong. The team spotted a Group of 4 Pigs, their hearts racing with anticipation. The Thrill of the Hunt was back, but this time, the bush was thicker than before.
With their sights set on the group, Will and Ryan took their shots, downing one Wild Pig right away—but the Hog Hunt didn’t end quite as smoothly as they’d hoped. In the dense brush, the other Pigs scattered, and despite searching for about 30 minutes, they could only locate one. Clayton's frustration was evident; he was sure at least one more big one had met its fate in that field.
Hunting is all about patience and resilience, and even when the conditions are tough, it’s the wild unpredictability that keeps us coming back for more. While the group only found one more Wild Pig that night, the shared experience of searching through the brush added to their story, turning a challenging moment into a lasting memory.
