Sometimes everything comes together at just the right time — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem was exactly that.

The night kicked off with an early sounder spotted moving across the field, leaving very little time to waste. Guide Hank quickly got the group moving, beginning a steady stalk as the hogs continued to shift away through the field.

Rather than rushing the setup, the team stayed patient and worked the terrain. The sounder eventually settled into a low spot near thick brush, creating the perfect opportunity. Once in position, the hunters were able to capitalize on the moment.

The result was a high-energy encounter with six hogs successfully recovered, making for an excellent night of Hog Hunting and a great haul of meat. Encounters like this are what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about — quick decisions, controlled movement, and making the most of the opportunity when it presents itself.

From early action to a strong finish, this Wild Hog Hunt was a great example of how effective Georgia Hog Hunting can be when everything lines up.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Hank.

Night 1: Wild Hog Hunting

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how patience, persistence, and professionalism come together in real hunting situations.

The night began with several quiet fields, but eventually Jordan picked up a faint thermal signature near a thick brush line. After carefully watching it, the signature revealed itself as a hog slowly working its way toward the open field. The hunters were briefed, and the group moved in quietly, hugging the treeline before cutting into the field.

The first setup came together slowly and deliberately. As the group closed distance and waited for a clear shot opportunity, unexpected outside activity interrupted the stalk and pushed the hog back into cover. After handling the situation professionally and safely, Jordan made the call to move on — a tough decision after a long, patient stalk, but the right one.

Later in the night, persistence paid off.

While scanning another field, Jordan spotted a single hog mixed in with deer activity at the back of the field. The wind was favorable, and the group executed a textbook stalk — moving along the treeline, closing distance, and setting up carefully. After repositioning for a better angle, the hunters were able to connect on the hog.

The hog made it a short distance into the treeline before being located in a safe, accessible area. The recovery went smoothly, and the group wrapped up the moment with photos before processing the hog.

The Hog Hunt closed with one more field check before heading in for the night. Beyond the recovery, what truly stood out were the hunters themselves — positive, patient, and fully engaged throughout every stalk. Their attitude and teamwork made the night especially enjoyable and set the tone for Night 2.

A strong, hard-earned Night 1 in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan — proof that persistence and the right mindset always matter in the field.

Hunting Georgia In Cold Weather

Sometimes the South Georgia weather has a bigger impact on Wild Hog movement than anything we do in the field — and Night 1 of this Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was a perfect example.

The temperature dropped from the mid-50s the night before to below freezing, and the fields told the story:
empty field after empty field after empty field.

Wild hogs are incredibly sensitive to sudden temperature swings, and when the weather shifts this fast, they often change their patterns completely. What’s usually reliable ground becomes quiet, and even thermal struggle to pick up movement.

Around 4:00 AM, Clay finally spotted three hogs in a distant field. But before he could even pull in and get the van parked, the pigs drifted straight into the trees. They never stopped moving and were likely only in that field for five minutes or less — classic behavior when a cold front pushes through.

Even with the slow night, the hunters kept great attitudes, stayed patient, and were excited for Night 2. Clay said they were awesome.

Weather happens. Slow nights happen. But that’s what makes Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so real. Nothing is guaranteed, and every night brings a different lesson in how these animals adapt to the environment around them.

With temperatures staying cold tomorrow, we’re hoping the hogs adjust quickly and movement picks back up. Night 2 of this Wild Hog Hunt is on the way…

Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

Night 2 of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was simple, clean, and exactly how a good stalk is supposed to feel.

After covering fields throughout the night, Clay and his hunters finally located a single hog moving alone. Lone pigs are some of the most unpredictable animals in the field — they travel differently, react differently, and don’t always hold still like larger sounders do.

Still, the team moved in quietly, using the wind and terrain to their advantage. A steady, patient approach put them right where they needed to be, and before long, the single was successfully taken — a solid ending to a Hog Hunt that required focus and good teamwork.

That’s the beauty of Hog Hunting in Georgia:
Some nights are fast-paced sounders, and some come down to a single animal and a perfectly executed stalk. Both are equally rewarding, and both highlight why Thermal Night Hunting is one of the most thrilling experiences outdoors.

Hog Hunting In Georgia

Some nights you cover miles before anything happens — and that’s exactly how Night 1 started for our South Georgia thermal hog hunt with Guide Clay.

We hit the first field at 8:44 PM and immediately spotted a familiar face: the same lone boar we stalked two nights earlier. Just like last time, he never stopped to feed, never slowed down, never looked back — he powered across the field like he had somewhere important to be. Before we could make a move, he was gone.

From there, we checked field after field, putting in the miles with nothing to show for it. Then we finally saw a pig… except it was casually strolling on the side of the road — the one place we can’t hunt. Figures, right? We drove past with a sour taste in our mouths and kept moving.

About an hour later, our new guide Jordan was checking fields for us and called with a lead on a place we call Honey Bun. It took about 45 minutes for him to get back to us, and by the time we arrived (around 3:20 AM), he thought the pigs had slipped back into the trees. He could barely make out shapes deep in the back, but wasn’t sure if they were pigs or shadows.

Still, we decided to stalk in — just hoping they were still out there. I was on this hunt too, getting footage, and the entire walk we couldn’t see or hear a thing. No movement, no heat signatures… nothing.

Then we made a sharp turn up onto higher ground — and there they were.
A sounder, right where they were supposed to be.

The hunters from upstate New York set up fast and handled business. Before long, five pigs were successfully rehomed(lol), and we loaded up the meat for the ride back to the Windsor so they could get a few hours of rest before Night 2.

Thermal hog hunting is unpredictable — some nights are quiet, some nights take patience, and some end with a surprise sounder waiting right over the hill.

Let’s see what Night 2 brings…

1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt Recap With Guide Hank | Pig Problem

Some nights in South Georgia remind you just how smart and unpredictable Wild Hogs can be — and this 1-Night Hog Hunt with Guide Hank was one of those nights. Even without pigs recovered, it was still a fun, high-energy hunt full of movement, learning moments, and close calls.

A Stalk That Changed in Seconds

Around 1 AM, Hank and the group began a careful stalk on a sounder feeding near the edge of the field. Everything looked perfect — wind checked, approach planned, hunters set.

But just as they settled into position, the hogs shifted direction and moved across the road onto a neighboring property we don’t have access to. It all happened right in front of everyone, and the whole group watched the entire thing play out in real time.

Sometimes timing is everything, and this was one of those moments where the hogs won the chess match.

3 AM Pigs With Tough Wind

Later in the night, around 3 AM, Hank located another group. The drone pilot was up helping scan the fields, and they worked together to get everyone into a good position.

The problem?
The wind was blowing straight toward the hogs.

They still managed to set up quietly and get a clear line on the group, but the wind and angle worked against them. The hogs slipped over the crest of a hill, dropped out of sight, and disappeared into the cress of the hill before the team could make a clean approach.

Wild hogs don’t need much of an advantage — and the wind gave it to them.

Lots of Action, Lots of Movement

Even without a recovery, it was a night Thermal Hog Hunting full of:

• Multiple hog sightings

• A full stalk with the entire group watching it unfold

• Hogs changing direction instantly

• Thermal drone support helping scan multiple fields

• Challenges from wind, terrain, and timing

Real Georgia Hog Hunting isn’t scripted, and this night was a perfect example of how unpredictable these animals are.

A Fun Night With the Group

Hank said it best:
“Good fun — just no pigs down tonight.”

Some nights are about the chase, the movement, the stalks, the close calls, and the teamwork. This group stayed positive, got through the tough moments, and made the best out of every opportunity.

Thermals, Teamwork, and 14 Pigs in One Night

When everything clicks — teamwork, timing, and technology — Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia turns into something unforgettable.

Guide Clay kicked off a wild night that started with a massive sounder of about 20 pigs (plus plenty of little ones). I was there for this one, we had Daniel flying the drone and calling Clay over once we spotted the group out in the field. We geared up, planned our approach, and began a long, careful stalk.

Once we were in range, the thermal lit up the field. Within seconds, we had success with two pigs down and plenty of excitement to kick off the night. As we were taking photos, the Thermal Drone picked up more movement just 20 yards away, so we reset quickly and moved again. That second stalk led to ten more pigs recovered, making it an incredible double run — fast-paced, smooth teamwork, and some amazing footage to come.

After I left, Clay and the hunters continued the night with another stalk, bringing the total to 14 pigs spotted and 12 recovered before sunrise. A perfect example of how much ground and action a good thermal setup can cover in just one night.

Thermal Hog Hunting is the real deal — high-tech, high-energy, and totally unpredictable. Between the heat signatures, drones, and quick field decisions, no two Hog Hunts are ever the same.

That’s what makes Pig Problem special — we combine real field knowledge, advanced thermal gear, and guides who know how to adapt fast. Nights like this show why Georgia Hog Hunting is unlike anywhere else in the country.

Guide Hank kicked off another great Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia, and the action started early.

The night was crisp and cold — perfect for spotting movement across the open fields. Before long, the team located their first pig of the night out in a cut cornfield, and the stalk was on. It was a textbook setup, quiet and steady, leading to an early success that set the tone for the evening.

As the night went on, the crew covered more ground, exploring new fields and tree lines. Just when things seemed to settle down, another surprise came — a pig dashed out in front of the van, making for a close (and funny) encounter to wrap up the night.

At Pig Problem, we love nights like this — full of action, great people, and memories that last. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and that’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so exciting. Some nights test your patience, and others deliver early surprises — but either way, it’s always an adventure.

Guide Hank led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt that reminded everyone how quickly things can change in the field.

The night had been quiet until just around midnight, when the team was driving through a wooded stretch and suddenly spotted a Sounder of Pigs about 200 yards out. They stopped fast, geared up, and got ready to make a move.

The wind was shifting along the treeline — never a good sign — and Hank knew that hesitation could send the pigs running. So, in a quick and decisive moment, he adjusted the team’s position and turned a surprise encounter into a successful outcome.

That’s what Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about — patience, timing, and adapting to whatever the night throws your way.

At Pig Problem, we don’t sit and wait. We move, stalk, and strategize to give our hunters the most exciting and ethical Thermal Hog Hunting experience in Georgia. Every night brings something new — new challenges, new lessons, and new memories made under the stars.

Another great night in the books with Guide Hank and his hunters. 🌙

Wild Boar Hunting In Georgia

Another exciting night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (a.k.a. Luke)!

The night started like many of our Wild Hog Hunts do — cruising the backroads and scanning fields for heat signatures. After checking a few spots with nothing moving, the team finally pulled into a field and saw pigs scrambling at the far end. The wind was swirling, so the stalk had to be slow and careful.

They crept closer, staying just downwind until they got in range. Once the thermals lit up, the hunters got set and the chance happened — four hogs re-homed, with one more that managed to make it into the woods.

That’s the kind of night that keeps us hooked on Hog Hunting — every stalk is different, every chance counts, and every Boar Hunt tells a new story.

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Night Hunts across South Georgia, chasing wild hogs that tear up farmland and crop fields. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we hunt, stalk, and go, giving you a true, hands-on Hunting Experience.

Whether you’re chasing your first pig or adding to your tally, Pig Problem delivers the thrill of Thermal Boar Hunting in Georgia — real guides, real pigs, and real fun.
