Nighttime Hog Hunting

Pig Problem

Face Paint, Rabbits, Possums, and a Pig

A Night Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, we believe in making every Hog Hunt an Unforgettable Hunting Experience - not just for the action, but for the stories that come with it. On a recent 1 Night Hog Hunt, Guide Clayton took two Hunters out for some Thermal Hog Hunting, but the night started with a little extra fun.

The Face Paint Tradition

Photo: Face Paint Done, Ready For The Piggies @PigProblem

Guide Zev has a habit of telling his Hog Hunters to wear Hunting Face Paint, and for this hunt, Clayton decided to join in on the tradition. During range time - where all the guides go over safety and firearm handling with New Hunters - Clayton, Zev, and their groups all geared up with face paint together. After some laughs and a solid safety briefing, the guides split off for their separate hunts.

A Wild Night in the Fields

Clayton’s Wild Hog Hunt turned into more than just a Hog Pursuit. With pew pews in hand and Thermals locked on, the Wild Hog Hunters ended up with an unexpected mix of critters. The night tally? One hog, two possums, and Clayton himself taking down two rabbits along the way.

While the goal is always putting hunters on pigs, the unpredictable nature of Night Hunting means you never know what might cross your path. Whether it’s a Hog, a Coyote, or even a Rabbit in the wrong place at the wrong time, every Guided Hog Hunt is an adventure.

Wild Hogs On The Move

The Hunt That Almost Broke Clayton

Photo: Hunting Wild Hogs @PigProblem

Guiding Thermal Hog Hunts isn’t always easy. Some nights, everything lines up perfectly - Pigs are out in the open, stalks go smoothly, and Hunters rack up a Pile of Hogs with minimal effort. Other nights… well, they test your patience.

That’s exactly the kind of night Guide Clayton had on a recent Hog Hunt with three determined Hog Hunters. The Wild Pigs were out, but they weren’t exactly cooperating.

“Well well well, I failed four different stalks on pigs. Every time, they just walked back into the woods. It is the most frustrating thing to happen on a field stalk. I wanted to shave my eyebrows off and draw them back on to make me look angry all the time.”

If you’ve ever tried to creep up on a group of pigs in an open field, you know the feeling. One second, they’re feeding in the open, completely unaware. The next, they vanish into the treeline like ghosts.

But Clayton and his hunters weren’t about to give up. They kept pushing through the night, working field after field, waiting for their moment. Finally, at around 5 a.m., they spotted a Sounder. This time, there was no slipping away.

After 60+ rounds fired, the dust settled, and they had their hog.

Sometimes, Mother Nature throws one last curveball just to keep things interesting. As Clayton left the field, the sky opened up, hammering down rain so hard that he had to crawl home at 40 mph on Highway 19.

“I couldn’t see anything, but at least the hunting van is clean now.”

At the end of the day, no Wild Hog Hunt is ever the same, and that’s what makes it so damn fun. Whether it’s perfect stalks or a night full of frustration, every Hunting Trip is a story waiting to be told. And for these three hunters, they got to be part of a Hog Hunt that nearly drove their guide to altering his facial features in rage.

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:

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:

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.

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.

A Two-Night Hunt with a Crew That Came to Kill

Some Hog Hunts stand out not just for the number of Hogs taken but for the way they go down. When Guide Zev took four Hunters out for a 2 Night Hunt run, he knew pretty quick - these guys were locked in.

That’s about as high a compliment as you’ll get from him. And it was well-earned.

Over two nights, the team dropped five Wild Hogs. The wind was a problem, shifting when it wasn’t supposed to, costing them some opportunities. But that’s Hog Hunting - adapt or go home. These guys stayed on point, made their shots count, and got it done.

If you want to see what a real Thermal Hog Hunt looks like, book your Hunting Trip with Pig Problem. Bring your A-game, and maybe - just maybe - you’ll get Zev’s seal of approval too.

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

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

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.

Two Nights in the Fields

Photo: You Can Run But These Guys Can Handle That… @PigProblem

When you book a hunt with Pig Problem, you’re signing up for an experience like no other - Stalking Wild Hogs under the cover of darkness, Scanning Fields Through High-Tech Thermal, and putting your skills to the test against one of the smartest, toughest animals in the South.

Recently, Guide Capt Clayton led a group of 5 Hunters on a Two-Night Hunting Adventure through the farmlands of Americus, Georgia. With clear skies and cool temperatures, conditions were looking good for some solid Wild Hog Action.

Night One:

Success in the Field

The first night kicked off strong. After a short briefing and a few practice shots to get comfortable with the gear, the Hunters loaded up and rolled out under the glow of a rising moon. It didn’t take long to find a Hog .

Patience paid off when the team spotted movement in the distance. A Quick Stalk brought them within range, and with a well-placed shot from 400 yards away, they had their first Wild Hog on the ground. Cheers and handshakes followed, along with a few photos to capture the moment. With the night still young, the group pressed on, but the Pigs proved elusive for the rest of the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night Two:

The Challenge of the Hunt

The second night brought new challenges. Despite covering a lot of ground and spotting a few promising heat signatures, the Wild Pigs just weren’t cooperating. Sometimes they stayed just out of range, other times they vanished before a stalk could happen.

By 1 a.m., the group made the call to wrap up early. That’s the reality of Hog Hunting - Wild Animals sow a script. Some nights they’re everywhere, and others, they play hard to get. But that’s what makes it exciting.

A Hunt to Remember

Even without a second-night harvest, the experience is one to remember. The Hog Hunters got to put their skills to the test, see the land through a Thermal Equipment, and share the highs and lows of the Hog Hunt with good company. That’s what it’s all about - camaraderie, adventure, and the thrill of the chase.

Whether you’re a Seasoned Hunter or new to Night Hunting, Pig Problem Inc is ready to put you on Wild Hogs. Book your Guided Hog Hunt today and see if you have what it takes to outsmart the Toughest Hunting Game in South Georgia!

Thermal Predator Hunts

From Hogs to Predators

Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, Inc., we know that every Hog Hunt is a different adventure. Sometimes, the Hogs cooperate, and sometimes they seem to disappear into thin air. But no matter what, we make the most of every night in the field.

Guide Hank recently led a 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the group didn’t get a chance to put a Wild Hog on the ground, they still had a successful night - because they managed to take down a Coyote instead! When the hogs go into hiding, Predator control becomes the next best target, and we’re always ready to adapt.

The Hunt That Turned Into a Predator Control Mission

Wild Hog Hunting is unpredictable. After the recent snowstorm, the Pigs have been acting strange - maybe the sudden weather shift threw them off their routine. One night they’re everywhere, and the next, they’re ghosts. That’s the challenge of Hunting Wild Hogs: you never know what the night will bring.

But that’s why we love it. Unlike sitting in a stand over a bait pile, our Guided Hunts are all about strategy, movement, and real-time decision-making. With Thermal Optics in hand, we cover ground, Scanning Fields and wood lines for Heat Signatures. On this Thermal Hunt, instead of spotting a Sounder of Hogs, the team locked onto the glowing shape of a Coyote creeping through the night.

Coyotes are another major problem for farmers and landowners, preying on livestock, deer fawns, and even pets. Taking one out is always a win in our book. So while the night didn’t end with a Hog Down, it was still a success.

The Thrill of the Spot-and-Stalk Thermal Hunt

What makes our Wild Hog Hunts so exciting is the way we do them. We don’t just sit in a stand and wait - we get out there and Hunt. Spot-and-stalk Thermal Hunting is an adrenaline rush from start to finish. Every Hunting Trip is different, every encounter is unique, and every Hunter leaves with a great story.

Hogs are tough to hunt, and sometimes, they just don’t show up. But that’s what makes it all the more rewarding when everything lines up, and we move in on a Sounder. That’s the kind of Guided Hog Hunt we’re looking forward to for these guys when they come back - we’re determined to put them on some Pigs!

Whether it’s Wild Pigs or predators, every Hunt with Pig Problem, Inc. is an adventure. If you’re looking for a real hunting experience - one that gets your heart racing and puts your skills to the test - our Spot-and-Stalk Hog Hunts are exactly what you need.

A Successful Night Hunt

We recently had the opportunity to host David and Rex for a night of Hog Hunting in Americus, Georgia. Guide Hank led the Hog Hunt, and it was a great experience for everyone involved.

David and Rex are annual Quail Hunters in Georgia, and this year they decided to add a stop in Americus to Hunt Hogs with us. They got on a Sounder and were able to take down three Pigs, which were scattered across the field. We had to drag them all together, which made for a bit of a challenge, but it was a great night overall.

Guide Hank said, "We got some great pigs and shared some good laughs. I’d be happy to hunt them again." We're always happy to have clients like David and Rex, and we're looking forward to their next visit.

A Three-Night Hog Hunting Expedition with Clayton

The Unpredictable World of Wild Hog Hunting

When you venture into the farm fields of South Ga in pursuit of Wild Hogs, the outcome is far from certain. As a Seasoned Hunting guide, I've seen it all - from early morning shoots to sleepless nights spent tracking elusive prey. My recent 3 Night Hunting Expedition with a group of determined Hunters was an adventure that tested our skills, patience, and teamwork.

Night 1:

An Early Start

Photo: Wild Hog Down @PigProblem

Our first night was a promising start, with an early Wild Hog Sighting in a nearby field. We skillfully executed our plan, but the excitement was short-lived as the night wore on without any additional sightings.

Night 2:

Déjà Vu Strikes Again

Photo: Thermal Hunting @PigProblem

The second night was a carbon copy of the first, with another early Pig Sighting and a subsequent lull. Despite our best efforts, we returned to camp without any further encounters.

It's the Unpredictability of Hunting that keeps it exciting. You can't always rely on the numbers or the terrain. Sometimes, it's just about being in the right place at the right time.

Night 3:

New Beginnings with Max

For the final night of the Thermal Hunting Trip, Clay handed the reins over to the skilled colleague, Max. Together, they navigated the wilderness, employing Max's expertise to track down the Elusive Hogs. Although we encountered a few leads, the night ended without any kills.

The Takeaway

It's not about the number of trophies brought home but about the shared experiences and camaraderie forged in the wild. "Hunting is a journey, not a destination. And with every Wild Hog Hunt, you come away with a little more knowledge, experience, and memories to cherish."
