There’s something special about spending time in The Outdoors with Family — especially when it’s centered around tradition, adventure, and good memories. This past week, Capt. Max had the pleasure of guiding a 2-Night Hunt for Easton and his family, and it was one for the books.

Easton’s birthday celebration was more than just a Hog Hunt — it was a Family Hunt. Surrounded by relatives who share a love for the outdoors, Easton got to celebrate his big day with a Hog Hunting Trip he’ll never forget. The group brought great energy, positive attitudes, and a shared appreciation for responsible Hunting. It’s always refreshing to guide folks who not only understand the importance of land and wildlife management, but who also take time to pass those values down to the next generation.

Family Hog Hunts like this remind us why we do what we do. Seeing Young Hunters out in the field, learning the ropes and building memories with parents, uncles, and grandparents — that’s what it’s all about. It’s more than just time outside. It’s about connection, mentorship, and setting the stage for a lifelong respect for the outdoors.

Over the course of two nights, the group did a great job of re-homing Wild Pigs and helping support local farmers. Everyone played a part, and Easton handled the challenge like a seasoned pro. Watching him step up and take in every part of the experience with maturity and excitement made this Birthday Hunting Trip one that’ll be talked about for years.

At Pig Problem, we love seeing families come together in the field. These moments build bonds, teach responsibility, and ensure that the next generation keeps the tradition alive — the right way.

Happy birthday, Easton! We’re proud to have been a part of your celebration, and we hope to see you and your crew back again soon.

Persistence Pays Off:

A Two-Night Hog Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Some Hog Hunts are fast-paced, and some require patience—but every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Peanut Protector Guide Capt. Clayton recently led a determined group on a 2 Night Hog Hunt, pushing through long hours and late nights to make it happen.

Night 1:

The Waiting Game

The first night was all about persistence. Hours passed without a single sighting, and just when it seemed like the Hogs had disappeared for the night, movement finally caught our attention at 4:30 a.m. A long stalk followed, testing both endurance and strategy, but in the end, the effort paid off. From a distance of around 150-200 yards, the team made it count, wrapping up the night with a well-earned success.

Night 2:

A Quick Start, Then the Quiet

Photo: Sleepy Piggy @PigProblem

The second night started off promising, with a Wild Hog spotted early at 9 p.m. The excitement was high, but after that, the night took a quiet turn. Despite covering plenty of ground, no more Pigs showed up, making for a long trek back home around sunrise.

These two nights were a testament to the Unpredictable Nature of Hog Hunting—some nights are packed with action, while others test patience and determination. But no matter what, the experience, the challenge, and the adventure always make it worth it.

Two Nights of Action:

Mario & Harry’s Hog Hunt with Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, we love seeing familiar faces return for another round of Night Hunting action. Longtime Hunters Mario and Harry recently joining us again for a 2 Night Hog Hunt, guided by Capt. Max on the first night and Zev on the second.

Guide Capt Max led the way on the first night, covering plenty of ground in search of Wild Hogs. The conditions were just right, and the night started off strong with a couple of Coyotes spotted and a Solid Boar added to the tally. Mario and Harry know the drill, making for an efficient and enjoyable Hog Hunt.

Night 2 with Zev

Zev took over on the second night, and the streak continued with two more Hogs found. He had nothing but good things to say about Mario and Harry, calling them “cool dudes” who made the experience a great one. The night had an unexpected twist, though—on the way back, a flat tire slowed things down, and a loose brake caliper made for a bit more work than planned. But no worries, just another Hunting Adventure on the road!

These two nights were a great reminder of why we do what we do. The right company, solid Hunting Guides, and the thrill of Thermal Hunting always make for a memorable experience. Looking forward to seeing Mario and Harry back out Wild Hog Hunting again soon!

Battling the Elements & Bagging Hogs with Guide Hank

At Pig Problem, we know every Hog Hunt is different—some nights are nonstop action, and others test your patience. But no matter what, we adapt, strategize, and make the most of every opportunity. Guide Hank just wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt, and it was a prime example of how Unpredictable Hog Hunting can be.

Night 1:

Deer Everywhere, Pigs Nowhere

The first night started with promise—plenty of deer moving through the fields, but the Pigs were nowhere to be found. As the night went on, the reason became clear. A massive storm was rolling in, bringing heavy wind, rain, and lightning. Right before it hit, the fields went dead silent—no movement, no signs of life. The animals knew what was coming, and so did we. Instead of pushing our luck and getting soaked, we called it early, knowing we’d have another chance the next night.

Night 2:

Success in the Wind

Photo: Hogs Down @PigProblem

The second night brought its own challenge—strong winds—but we weren’t about to let that stop us. After covering a lot of ground with little to show for it, we finally spotted a couple of Wild Pigs. Using the tree line for cover and staying out of the moonlight, we made a short stalk into range. A couple of well-placed chances later, we had our Hogs for the night.

Even though we checked several more fields without luck, the Wild Hog Hunt was still a success. That’s Hog Hunting for you—some nights are easy, others make you work for it. But with persistence, smart tactics, and a little patience, the payoff always comes.

Putting in the Work:

A Two-Night Hunt with Pig Problem

Not every Hunt is a nonstop shootout—but that’s what makes Hog Hunting so rewarding. Some nights, the Pigs are everywhere. Other nights, you have to work for every opportunity. That’s exactly what Guide Hank and his Hunters experienced on a recent 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem.

Night 1:

Hard Work Pays Off

The first night was slow, but that didn’t stop them. With persistence and a lot of walking, they finally got an opportunity—and made it count. One Hog, proving that sometimes success in the field comes from sheer determination. Wild Hogs are smart, constantly adapting to Hunting Pressure and changing their routines. When they don’t show up where you expect, you have to put in the miles, and that’s exactly what Hank and his Hog Hunters did.

Night 2:

The Wild Card of Hog Hunting

The second night, the Pigs stayed hidden. No fresh tracks, no movement—just an empty landscape under the Thermal Equipment. It’s easy to wonder why, but the reality is, Hogs don’t always play by the rules.

Wild Hogs are Nocturnal, but they don’t move the same way every night. Their patterns change based on weather, moon phase, food availability, and Hunting pressure. If they’ve been spooked recently, they’ll hole up in thick cover and wait until well past dawn to move. Other times, they’ll feed in a completely different area, miles away from where they were the night before. It’s what makes Thermal Hunting so unpredictable—and so exciting.

Even on slow nights, every Guided Hunt is a learning experience. Whether you’re Tracking Pigs, reading fresh sign, or just soaking in the thrill of the chase, there’s no such thing as a wasted night in the field. That’s why we do this—because every Night Hunt tells a story.

Two Nights in the Fields:

A Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. Some nights, the Pigs seem to be everywhere. Other nights, they give us the slip. But no matter what, there’s always something to take away from the experience. Guide Clayton recently led a 2 Night Hog Hunt, and here’s how it went.

Night 1:

The Silent Hunt and the Toughest Pig Around

Photo: He Is Not A One Shot Kinda Guy @PigProblem

The highlight of the night was the sheer resilience of one particular Hog. “This pig took like nine chances and a couple more from 10 feet away and was still trying to get up,” Clayton said. “I want to have the same resilience that some of these pigs can have. It is absolutely amazing to see how mentally and physically tough an animal can be when it wants to keep going. They have a why so they can survive any how.”

Wild Hogs are notorious for their toughness, but every now and then, we come across one that reminds us just how relentless nature can be.

Night 2:

The Pigs Win This Round

As every Hunter knows, success isn’t guaranteed. After the action of the first night, night two was a different story. The Pigs were nowhere to be found. Some nights, they seem to vanish into thin air, slipping through the fields undetected. That’s part of what makes Hog Hunting a tough hunting sport —you never know what the night will bring.

Even when the Wild Pigs get the upper hand, there’s always something to take away from the Thermal Hunt. Whether it’s a quiet moment under the stars, the thrill of a tough fight, or just time spent outdoors, every Hog Hunt tells a story.

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+ chances, 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.

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 chances and managing to get 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 them to new homes, 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 finding it a new home cleanly. Some nights aren’t about chasing massive sounders it’s about making every chance count. Two pigs rehomed, 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.

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 into a new home, they still had a successful night - because they managed to take get a Coyote instead! When the hogs go into hiding, Predator control becomes the next best thing, 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, 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!

A Wild Hog Hunting Adventure:

Three Nights Under the Stars with Capt. Clayton

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!
