Thermal Predator Hunts

From Hogs to Predators

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!

There were four encounters during the Hunt, although only 3 Hogs were successfully taken down after the last two encounters. Our customers had brought their own equipment, but it is worth mentioning that we do provide all the necessary gear for a Thermal Hog Hunt. However, we do offer a Hunting $50 Discount if you choose to bring your own equipment. Wether you bring your own equipment or use ours, we will stop at nothing to get you on a Wild Hog!

Last night's Wild Hog Hunting expedition exceeded all expectations. They managed to successfully take down 10 Hogs, but there are still plenty more to be Hunted. If you're interested in experiencing the thrill of Thermal Hunting, I highly recommend giving Wild Hog Hunting a try. Book your Hunt with Pig Problem, and who knows, maybe you can also achieve a night where you take down 10 Wild Hogs.

Kyle Dropped a Wild Boar

Kyle came out for a short hunt after driving back home all day from NC. We hit a few fields and saw some wild hogs but couldn’t close the distance. We found one in a smoke filled peanut field and put this boar down quick and easy. Kyle called Pig Problem Inc. for some land management work to rid his property of wild Hogs. We feel its important to show Land owners, Farmers, and Hunting Leases what and how we do things.

Bark River Elmax Gunny Hunter Review

 Bark River Gunny Hunter ELMAX

As a professional outdoorsman: hunter, fisherman, and outfitter, I’ve learned a thing or two about gear that is needed to get the job done. I know that the real work begins when the knives come out. So in order to provide my customers with thrilling, and memorable hunts, I make sure to use top quality, no-nonsense products that I field and use on a daily basis.

While guiding a hunt with Ohio outdoorsman, Jerry Fogt and friends, he asked if I would use his knife when it came time to break down the hogs. So I graciously agreed, but I’ll admit, I didn’t think it was going to do any better than what I had been using. Surprisingly though, not only did it get the job done, but I was so blown away by its edge retention that I went out and bought the exact knife from DLT trading the next morning.

I own a lot of off the shelf name brand knives, but this was my first Bark River, so I wanted to understand why the Gunny Hunter was so much better than what I had been using. Searching reviews and watching countless videos of people cutting line and then shaving through paper did not feel like a good place to start exploring the quality of this product.  So to get proof it was everything I wanted in a knife, I used it for a season of hog hunts, and any other hunting trip I was on.

Bark River Knives is a family owned semi production knife company out of Escanaba, MI USA. I would call it a semi custom knife company that builds heirloom quality at a reasonable price. The model I chose was the Gunny Hunter in ELMAX steel with black micarta scales. Before I purchased this knife, I had never heard of this brand nor did I know anything about it. 

The Steel used is called ElMAX and is considered a super steel, but when used for knife production, it makes a superior knife. It is stainless steel, so it will hold up in foul weather and needs less attention than a carbon steel knife. I have skinned up to 14 hogs in one night, so cleaning the knife is the last thing on my mind. I want my attention to be focused on looking for hog #15 to add to the pig pile.  

The edge retention on this blade is second to none, compared to other knives. A convex edge is superior to other designs for field use and resharpening. Sharpening this knife is a breeze as you strop it, so you don’t need the angular precision like other blade grinds. While stropping a convex edge by hand you sharpen the entire blade not just a narrow edge. The benefit is much more natural and forgiving so you don’t need mechanical aids. For comparison ELMAX does take longer to get sharp compared to A2 but is on par with S35VN.  I never needed to use anything other than a strop to get my edge back for the entire season while using this knife.  

At Pig Problem Inc., we outfit, fully guide, and butcher our hunters’ game. Guiding customers to as many shot encounters as possible has allowed me to use this Bark River to skin and quarter well over 100 hogs, a dozen deer, a bear, and an elk. The Bark River needs a minimal amount of maintenance for this kind of performance. This is a true hunter’s knife.

Meat Eater Hunting Adventure!

At Pig Problem Inc. we field butcher every hog you drop. If you're a meat eater or just want to fill the freezer, book a hunt with us. One thing this pandemic has shown people is the value of hunting and fishing for their food. Your booking includes all field butchering and bagging of meat so you can take it home in coolers. We take the backstraps, front shoulders, and hams off any hog you kill. We don’t nickel and dime you with added expenses, there is no limit on how many we will field butcher. Our customer service first mentality is what separates us from other outfitters.

When fields are to muddy to drive into, I will pack the meat out on my back. All the guides at Pig Problem Inc. will go the extra mile for your hunting trip. We pride ourselves on the customer service we provide to getting the job done. Our hunts are set up to be extremely comfortable hunting out of a Chevy Express AWD limo van, but that won’t stop us from doing the heavy lifting for you.
