At Pig Problem, some of our Favorite Hunts are the ones that bring families together. There’s nothing better than seeing Young Hunters experience the thrill of hunting for the first time. Recently, Guide Max, the owner of Pig Problem, led a Father-Son Hunt, and it was one to remember.

The Hunt

With patience and strategy, they spotted a Single Boar and moved in carefully. Using the tree canopy as a natural backdrop, they executed a mild stalk, closing the distance for the perfect shot. When the moment was right, they took the Wild Boar down - an exciting and rewarding experience for the young hunter.

Two Nights in Georgia with Guided by Capt Clayton

Hunting is unpredictable. Some nights, the Pigs are everywhere. Other nights, it’s just you, the fields, and the waiting game. This past 2 Night Thermal Hunt with Guide Capt Clayton had a little bit of everything - some frustration, some bad luck, and ultimately, a couple of successful shots.

Night One:

Photo: One Hog Down @PigProblem

The first night out was slow. Real slow. Just one Wild Pig spotted all night long. A Coyote and a Possum crossed our path, but now they can’t do that anymore... The one Hog that did show up didn’t make it out either. Clayton wasn’t feeling his best, and by the end of the night, the only thing on my mind was hoping he wouldn’t wake up sick.

Night Two:

Photo: Got Em @PigProblem

The Hog Hunt started with a different kind of loss - Guide Claytons $400 ear protection. After searching high and low, finally he found them… in the washing machine. So now, he gets to spend another $400 replacing something he already had. Gotta love it.

As for the Wild Hog Hunt, the Pigs weren’t exactly cooperative. Only one showed up on there side, and he was sound asleep when they found him. He didn’t stay that way for long. A quick wake-up call, and he was down for good. Meanwhile, the Thermal picked up a whole group of hogs in an orchard where they couldn't step foot. All we could do was watch as they did what Wild Hogs do best - eat and cause destruction.

Now, back home, Peanut Protector Guide Capt Clayton was winding down with some YouTube gum videos, keeping him entertained, and calling it a wrap on another Thermal Hunt. Some nights are packed with action, others test your patience - but that’s the way it goes in the world of thermal hog hunting.

Testing the Waters with Pig Problem:

A Four-Night Thermal Hog Hunt Recap

Guided by Clayton, three Seasoned Hog Hunters joined Pig Problem for a 4-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia. These guys were no strangers to Night Hunting - they had been Hog Hunting with another Hunting Outfitter for years, but with their usual guide retiring, they decided to give Pig Problem a shot. They were used to putting down double-digit numbers of Hogs each night, which is a rare feat, not because of a lack of Pigs, but because most Hunters don’t capitalize on the opportunities when a field is full of them.

Night 1:

A Sounder and a Start

Photo: Guess What’s Better Than 0? ….1 @PigProblem

The Hog Hunt kicked off with high expectations. The group encountered a Sounder of Hogs early on, taking shots and managing to drop one Wild Pig. It wasn’t the massive numbers they were used to, but it was a start. The guys were getting a feel for the setup, Clayton’s guiding style, and the way Pig Problem Hunts.

Night 2:

A Mechanical Mishap and Midnight Repairs

Photo: Guess What Is Better Than 1? …..2 @PigProblem

Things got interesting on the second night, and not just because of the Wild Hog Hunting. Earlier that day, the Hunting Van had a tire rotation, but whoever worked on it forgot to tighten the lug nuts properly. By 2:30 AM, Clayton realized the van was wobbling badly, making it unsafe to drive. Luckily, Megan, our go-to assistant/manager/problem-solver, came to the rescue. She rolled in with a jack and all the tools needed to tighten everything up, saving Clayton from a roadside disaster.

After the unexpected pit stop, the guys got back to Thermal Hog Hunting around 3:30 AM and managed to take down two more Piggies before sunrise.

Night 3:

Precision Stalks Pay Off

Photo: Guess What’s… JUST KIDDING. Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah. Oh Yeah. @PigProblem

Photo: The Final Piggy @PigProblem

The third night was all about stealth and accuracy. They went on two separate stalks, each time finding a Single Hog, and each time dropping it clean. Some nights aren’t about chasing massive sounders it’s about making every shot count. Two pigs down, zero wasted opportunities.

Night 4:

The Fog Takes Over

The final night was a test of patience, but not because of the pigs. Thick fog rolled in, making Thermal Equipment nearly useless. Clayton said he couldn’t see more than 50 yards in front of him - even the Hog Hunting Van, parked just 100 yards away, disappeared in the haze. At 1:30 AM, with visibility still next to nothing, they called it a night.

Final Thoughts:

Did They Like Pig Problem?

Despite a slow first night and a fogged-out final night, the hunters got 5 Wild Hogs Down in three nights, dealt with a wild van situation, and got a full taste of what Hunting with Pig Problem is all about. It’s never just about numbers - it’s about adapting, making the most of every opportunity, and having a damn good time doing it.

So, did these guys like Pig Problem Inc enough to make it their new go-to Hog Hunting Outfitter? We sure hope so. But as always, the pigs will be here, the fields will be ready, and Clayton will be out there waiting for the next crew to take on the challenge.

Hogs Down & Sheds Found

At Pig Problem, we don’t just take you Hog Hunting - we take you on a Hunting Adventure. Whether it’s Spotting Wild Hogs through Thermal Equipment, sneaking through fields under the cover of darkness, or stumbling across unexpected treasures, every Hog Hunt has a story.

Recently, Guide Capt Clayton led a 1 Night Hog Hunt for three Hunters who made the trip down to Americus, Georgia, to experience the thrill of Thermal Hunting. And let’s just say, the night did not disappoint.

Three Hunters, Three Hogs

Photo: Hogs Down @PigProblem

Photo: I Think He’s Blind @PigProblem

Right from the start, these guys were locked in. After a solid game plan and some patient stalking, they got into position and let the thing that takes down the Hogs do the talking. The results? Three Wild Hogs down - two in one setup and another on a separate stalk. That’s the kind of action we love to see.

Of course, a Wild Hog Hunt isn’t just about the shots fired. It’s about the entire experience, and this night had a little bonus surprise waiting in the fields.

A Lucky Find:

Shed Hunting Bonus

Photo: Deer Shed @PigProblem

While leading the group on one of their Hunting Stalks, Clayton spotted something unexpected - a freshly shed deer antler. If you’ve ever Hunted the South, you know how exciting it is to find a good shed out in the wild. It’s a reminder of just how much life moves through these fields beyond the Pigs.

Photo: Clay Is Into Wierd Things… @PigProblem

As it turns out, Clayton has a knack for finding these hidden gems. Over the years, he’s collected quite a few sheds, and to prove it, he showed off a few of his past finds in a way only Clayton can - balancing them on his head like a big ol buck.

Book a Hunt - We’re Fun!

At Pig Problem Inc, we don’t just put you on Hogs. We make sure you have a good time doing it. Whether it’s Stacking up Pigs, finding unexpected treasures, or just cutting up and making memories, every Hunt is a story worth telling.

Thermal Hog Hunting Adventures in Georgia

Photo: They Got One!! @PigProblem

When it comes to Hog Hunting, few experiences rival the thrill of chasing Wild Hogs under the cover of darkness with state-of-the-art Thermal Technology. At PigProblem, Inc., our mission is to provide a Hunting Adventure while helping farmers control the destructive wild hog population that wreaks havoc on their land.

Guide Clayton recently wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt, where he and his group took to the fields of South Georgia for a chance to bag Wild Hogs. While these clever animals put up quite a challenge, the team successfully harvested one Hog during the Hunt. Wild Hogs are notoriously intelligent and elusive, and every Wild Hog Hunt is a test of patience, skill, and persistence.

The Challenge and Reward of Hog Hunting

Wild Hog Hunting isn’t easy - and that’s exactly why we love it. Some nights, you might spot Dozens of Hogs, while other nights, they seem to disappear entirely. Even when you see a bunch of Wild Pigs, the wind might shift at the wrong moment. A single whiff of human scent, and they’re gone, running into the darkness before you can take a shot.

Hogs are smart, cautious, and always on high alert, which makes Hunting them one of the most challenging pursuits in the field. But it’s that very challenge that keeps us coming back night after night. It’s the thrill of the chase, the rush of Spotting a Hog through the Thermal Equipment, and the satisfaction of outsmarting one of the most elusive animals in the wild.

Why Choose Thermal Hog Hunting?

Thermal Hog Hunting gives Hog Hunters a unique advantage. With cutting-edge Thermal op-tic-s, we can detect the heat signatures of hogs in complete darkness, making it easier to locate and track them in the Farm Fields of South Georgia. This technology doesn’t make the Guided Hog Hunt easy - but it levels the playing field in a way that’s fair and exciting.

Whether you’re a Seasoned Hunter or new to the sport, our Hunting Guides are here to help you navigate every step of the process. From spotting hogs to lining up the perfect shot, we’re committed to making sure you have a safe, enjoyable, and Unforgettable Hunting Experience.

A Hunt That Makes a Difference

Pig Hunting isn’t just a Thrilling Hunting Adventure - it’s a vital conservation effort. Wild Hogs are an Invasive Species that cause millions of dollars in damage to crops, property, and native ecosystems every year. By Hunting them, we’re helping farmers protect their land and controlling the spread of this destructive animal.

Are You Ready for the Challenge?

Wild Pig Hunting is hard. It’s unpredictable, demanding, and not every night will end with a Trophy Boar. But that’s what makes it special. At Pig Problem, we embrace the challenge because we know it’s worth it - for the land, for the farmers, and for the thrill of the hunt.

If you’re ready to experience the excitement of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia, we’re here to guide you. Contact us today to book your next Hunting Trip and discover why we’re so passionate about what we do.

Let’s hunt, conserve, and create memories together!

A Wild Hog Hunting Adventure:

Three Nights Under the Stars with Capt. Clayton

Photo: Thermal Hog Hunting @PigProblem

As the temperatures dipped below freezing in South Georgia, a group of four adventurous individuals joined us for an exhilarating 3 Night Wild Hog Hunting experience. Led by our skilled Guide Capt. Clayton, the team came ready to embrace the thrill and challenges that awaited them in the wild.

Night 1: The Hunt Begins

The group, excited for their long-awaited Hunting Adventure—originally planned for October but rescheduled—wasted no time getting into the action. Right off the bat, they showcased their skills and camaraderie, managing to take down 3 Hogs on their first night! It was an exhilarating kickoff that not only set the tone for the rest of the Hog Hunting Trip but also rekindled the spirit of adventure among friends who were thrilled to immerse themselves in the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night 2: The Early Bird Doesn’t Always Get the Worm

“Oh hi there. My name is Clay, and I only see pigs at 4 a.m.” Megan told Clay that he would see Wild Pigs at 2:30. So Guide Clay was upset that she lied to him.

Despite one of the Hunters—who chose to “hold down the fort” in the van—being less inclined to join us on the stalk that night. The Hog Hunters after the Stalk to Wild Hogs set up there tripods and turned on the Thermal. 3,2, Bang! Another one bites the dust. Thermal Hunting is the best.

Night 3: The Search Goes On

Our final night of the Hunting Adventure took us on a quest through the South Georgia Farm Fields, scanning for Hogs as the temperature plunged to what felt like an Arctic chill. The crew remained optimistic, driving around in search of the Elusive Wild Hogs that seem to know how to evade our best efforts. After a long night, we couldn’t find any Pigs, but this didn’t seem to dampen spirits—the thrill of the chase and the joy of the experience outweighed the lack of success in the Hog Hunt.

As we wrapped up the Hunting Trip, it was evident that this group had created lasting Hunting Memories together over these few days of Guided Hog Hunting. Although we didn’t meet all of our goals, the camaraderie shared and experiences gained made it an Unforgettable Hunting outing.

Conclusion: Book Your Adventure Today!

As our guests departed, wrapped in warm Hunting Memories and shared laughter, we couldn’t help but hope they enjoyed their time in the wilds of South Georgia—even with the Ice-Cold Temperatures In Georgia!

Guide Clayton's Team: The Patience Pays Off

Guide Hank's Team: A Lesson in Patience

Meanwhile, Guide Hank's night took a different direction. “Very slow night,” Hank reported. Guide Clay txted Hank and raised a poignant question: “Is it God’s plan to not find any Pigs?” Hank, ever the optimist, replied that perhaps God was teaching them patience. Just as the night seemed to drag on, at 3:30 AM, Hank spotted a Lone Pig less than 200 yards from the van on the treeline. After a stealthy approach, they successfully took down the Hog with ease. Here’s the moment captured in a photo:

Hank’s heartfelt wish was that Clay might find faith one day, further emphasizing the camaraderie that Hunting fosters.

Night Two Excitement

Guide Clayton's Renewed Spirit

The second night surged with energy and action for Guide Peanut Protector Clayton and his team. “The only time I saw pigs was at 4 AM,” he recalled. However, patience proved to be the game-changer. Their luck shifted when they encountered a Sounder of Pigs, leading to an exhilarating Hog Hunt where they brought down 5 Wild Hogs! The experience was exhilarating, and the Hog Hunters celebrated their success! Check out the photo of their incredible haul:

Guide Hank's Thrilling Encounter

Hank's team also experienced an Adrenaline-Filled Night of Hunting. He remarked about feeling déjà vu as he spotted Wild Pigs sneaking around in the moonlight. After strategizing their approach, they managed to take down 5 Pigs, with three on the first round. Dragging the Wild Hogs back to the road for a photo op, Hank’s Thermal suddenly revealed six more Wild Hogs emerging from the treeline! With renewed enthusiasm, they geared up once again and successfully bagged two more Pigs, concluding the night with a total of five for the evening. Talk about a thrilling end to the Thermal Hog Hunt! Take a look at their successful evening below:

A Promising Start

Photo: Wild Pig Hunting @PigProblem

On a chilly evening, Guide Clayton and his group set out for their first Hunt. They pulled into the first field, and to their delight, a Sounder of Pigs was spotted almost immediately! After carefully positioning themselves, they successfully took down one Wild Pig. It seemed like the night was off to a great start! Unfortunately, after that initial excitement, the rest of the night proved uneventful as the Hunters could only spot a few more Pigs from the roadside—an area that wasn’t accessible for shooting. However, these initial sightings were enough to spark enthusiasm in the Hog Hunters, showcasing the unpredictability and excitement of Thermal Hog Hunting.

Hunt #2:

The second Wild Hog Hunt was under the skilled leadership of Guide Kevin. His group of Seasoned Hunters headed to what they fondly called "Ben's Field."

The crew then ventured over to “Sheriff’s Field” and scored one more Wild Hog, bringing their total to five for the evening. This group truly displayed their Pro-Hunting expertise as they navigated the terrain and efficiently tracked down their quarry. Each Hunter walked away with stories to tell and memories to cherish.

In what could best be described as a special trip down memory lane, Clayton guided two fathers who’ve been friends since childhood. Their mission was simple—introduce their sons to the exhilarating world of Wild Hog Hunting while fostering a friendship akin to their own. The night was cool and crisp, setting the perfect backdrop for their adventure. They only spotted two single Hogs, but the duo was fortunate to drop both of them with ease! With laughter and camaraderie echoing through the fields, this Pig Hunt emphasized the beauty of bonding over shared experiences—especially in The Great Outdoors.

Nighttime Adventures at Pig Problem

A Memorable Evening of Hog Hunting

Last night at Pig Problem was nothing short of exhilarating, as two groups set out on their 1 Night Hog Hunts. Guided by the experienced Guide Capt. Max and Guide Capt. Clayton, the Hog Hunters were eager to test their skills in the field.

Guide Capt. Max's Hunt: A Foggy Foray

Under the cover of mist and fog, Guide Capt. Max led his group through the night. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the Wild Hogs were abundant in every field they explored. With keen eyes and steady hands, the Hunters successfully tracked down two Wild Hogs, capturing the thrill of the Hog Hunt amidst the eerie landscape. The hunt showcased both the beauty of nature and the adrenaline rush that comes with pursuing game.

Check out some exciting photos from Max’s hunt below:

Guide Capt. Clayton's Hunt: A Dramatic Encounter

Meanwhile, Peanut Protector Guide Capt. Clayton's group had an equally memorable experience, albeit with a different twist. They stumbled upon a Solitary Pig in the very first field they entered and swiftly executed their shot with precision. Guide Clayton humorously described the takedown as “a 600lbs person falling from a plane without a parachute.” It was a sight to behold, and although the rest of the night yielded no further sightings, the excitement of that first encounter left an indelible mark.

Here’s a glimpse of Clayton’s epic discovery:
