Late-Night Success:
A Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, we’re no strangers to long nights in the field, but some Hog Hunts test patience more than others. Guide Clayton recently led a group on a 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the Pigs didn’t make it easy, persistence paid off in a big way.
A Slow Start, A Big Finish
Clayton and his Hunters covered miles of farmland under the cover of darkness, Scanning Fields and tree lines for any sign of Wild Hogs. But despite hours of effort, the night remained frustratingly quiet. Not a Single Pig showed up—until 5 in the morning.
But when the Wild Pigs finally did appear, they came in numbers. A Sounder of 30+ Hogs spread out across the field, feeding and moving cautiously. With daylight fast approaching, the Hog Hunters had only one chance at getting the job done.
Long Shots and Big Drops
The setup wasn’t perfect—tough terrain and less-than-ideal angles forced the group to take longer shots than usual. But with steady hands and the right gear, they made their moment count, Dropping 2 Hogs before the rest of the Sounder scattered.
The Grind Pays Off
Some nights, the Feral Hogs come easy. Other nights, they keep you waiting until the last possible moment. But that’s part of what makes Thermal Hog Hunting such a thrill—you never know what the night will bring.
Big thanks to Clayton and his hunters for sticking it out and making the most of the opportunity. At Pig Problem Inc, we Hunt hard, no matter how long it takes. Want to test your skills on a Night Hunt of your own? Book your Wild Hog Hunt today!
