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!

Lessons from Hank’s Two-Night Hog Hunt

When it comes to Wild Hog Hunting, every Hunting Trip is a unique adventure, filled with triumphs and challenges. Recently, our Guide Hank led a group of Hunters on a 2 Night Hunting Expedition that certainly delivered on both fronts. Join us as we dive into the highs and lows of this Unforgettable Hog Hunt.

Night 1:

A Roaring Start

From the moment we set foot in the first field, it was clear that this Hog Hunt was going to be one for the books. Hank recounted one of the loudest stalks he’s ever experienced, as we trekked through the frozen cut corn and melted icy snow. It was a test of patience and skill, but with some determination, we managed to get within 100 yards of the Wild Pigs.

In a flash of adrenaline-fueled action, we successfully secured 3 Pigs before they vanished into the brush, leaving us high on success but hungry for more. The Thrill of the Hunt pushed us onward, and we searched tirelessly throughout the night for additional opportunities to strike. While our efforts did not yield further Piggies, the first night was nothing short of triumphant—a fantastic kick-off to our Hunting Adventure!

Night 2:

The Wild Side of Hunting

As dusk fell on our second evening, reality set in. While the first night had blessed us with immediate satisfaction, the second brought a different kind of challenge. Despite our excitement and the promise of what lay ahead, it was a late night filled with empty returns.

Our strategy almost paid off when we saw a Sounder of Hogs just across a neighboring property, but they remained tantalizingly out of reach, teasing us with their presence. Instead, we opted to shift focus and scouted for other opportunities, which led us to a brief encounter with a Coyote. Although we didn’t manage to score a shot, the experience was capitalized with a cool photo that perfectly captured the essence of the Coyote Hunt.

As the night wore on, it became clear that this is the reality of Thermal Wild Hog Hunting: some nights yield incredible success while others put our patience to the test. Hank reflected on the experience, remarking how different things might have been if we’d resorted to baiting or sitting in a stand, but that’s just not our style. We’re a band of hunters who thrive on the wild, unpredictable nature of the chase.

Final Thoughts

This Pig Problem Guide is more than just a summary of what happened in two nights; it’s a testament to the spirit of Hog Hunting itself. It’s about embracing the exhilarating highs, the frustrating lows, and everything in between. While Hank may not have brought them home a dozen pigs, the memories made and the fellowship shared under the stars are what truly enrich the experience.

So here’s to the next Wild Hog Hunt—a reminder that in the world of Guided Hog Hunting, you never know what will happen next. Until then, stay rugged and keep chasing those Wild Hunts. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Happy hunting!

A Memorable Night of Hog Hunting with Guide Hank

In The World of Hunting, every Hog Hunting Trip offers a Unique Hunting Experience, and sometimes those experiences may not involve a flurry of action. Recently, a group of four eager Hunters joined Guide Hank for a 1 Night Hog Hunt that showcased the thrill of the chase, even when the night unfolded a bit differently than expected.

A Slow Start Turns Into Success

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the team set off to a field in Albany Ga, their hearts filled with anticipation. The atmosphere was electrifying, yet the Hunting conditions proved to be a bit slow that night. However, the group remained undeterred and focused on the task at hand.

After a patient wait, their perseverance paid off when they spotted 3 Pigs. With adrenaline pumping, the team sprang into action. In an impressive display of marksmanship, one Hog Hunter successfully took down a Wild Pig on the run from a remarkable distance of 200 yards. The satisfaction of securing that first catch set the tone for the rest of the night.

Another Hog fell shortly thereafter, with the team locating it in the woods, bringing their count to two before midnight. The sense of accomplishment among the Boar Hunters was palpable as they celebrated their success, emphasizing that even in the slow moments, there are reasons to be joyful.

After midnight, as they resumed their search, the night remained quiet. While the team didn’t encounter any additional Wild Hogs as they made their way back to Americus Ga, the camaraderie amongst the group never waned. They reminisced about the shots fired, shared techniques, and laughed over the unpredictability of Wild Hog Hunting.

The lesson learned was clear: in the world of Thermal Hunting, sometimes progress is measured not by how many Hogs are taken but by the experiences shared and the memories created. A “slow” night didn’t mean a “bad” night. Instead, it reinforced the old adage that a great time can be had when you’re outdoors with friends, regardless of the outcome.

Two Nights of Hog Hunting with Peanut Protector, Guide Capt. Clayton

At Pig Problem, the team embraces the wild, unpredictable, and downright hilarious adventures that come with Hog Hunting. Recently, Guide Capt. Clayton, affectionately known as the Peanut Protector, had the pleasure of leading a fantastic group on a 2 Night Hog Hunting excursion, filled with unforgettable stories and plenty of laughter.

Night 1: Old Friends and New Adventures

Reuniting with familiar faces is always a treat in the Hunting world. On this trip, Andy and John returned after successfully Wild Hog Hunting with Pig Problem Inc two years ago. With excitement in the air, the Hog Hunt began.

Early in the night, the group spotted a small hog lounging in a peanut field, surrounded by a curious gathering of deer. The evening appeared to be brimming with potential!

As they carefully moved through the flipped peanut field, Andy and John found a good vantage point. After taking aim, they took two shots, successfully dropping the Hog. However, the excitement didn’t end there; as the group approached the Wild Hog, they realized it was still alive. In a great show of teamwork, Andy handed over his SIG P322 pistol, equipped with a suppressor and TLR8, to Capt. Clayton for the final dispatch, turning a tense moment into a shared experience.

Although the rest of the night was quieter—only spotting a few deer—the camaraderie on the Hunt kept spirits high. One particularly amusing instance was Andy’s unique countdown method whenever he prepared to take a shot. While our guides count down “3, 2, BANG,” Andy preferred “3, 2, Big Titties.” Capt. Clayton couldn’t help but chuckle at Andy's seriousness whenever he expressed this countdown style on the range.

Night 2: A Little Bit of Chaos

If Night 1 was memorable, Night 2 was nothing short of exhilarating. The group kicked off the night with the excitement of taking down 2 Wild Hogs and a Coyote .

Capt. Clayton quickly spotted a single Pig early in the night, but as they began their stalk, a deer started snorting loudly, spooking the Wild Pig back into the safety of the trees. Capt. Clayton humorously reflected on the situation, imagining himself choking out a deer right on the spot—a testament to his frustration with deer as the second least favorite animal to encounter at night. Number one on that list? Birds—Capt. Clayton had no love for birds either.

After a long stretch of quiet, the nighttime adventure picked up again around 2 AM, and the team had a solid opportunity to take aim at (another) coyote, resulting in a successful shot.

A Memorable Experience

While the first night had its challenges, the laughter and camaraderie made everything worthwhile. Each Wild Hog Hunt brings unique obstacles and surprises, and it’s often the unexpected moments—like deer creating chaos—that create the Best Hunting Memories.

As the Two-Night Hunting Adventure came to a close, the team expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share their passion for Nighttime Hunting with a group excited to embrace the wild experiences that come with it. Every adventure brings everyone closer together, creating unforgettable stories to cherish.

Thanks to Andy and John who joined Capt. Clayton on this Two-Night Hunting Trip. The crew at Pig Problem Inc is already looking forward to their next round in the field. For those interested in embarking on their own Thermal Hog Hunting adventure, reaching out to Pig Problem is a must—who knows what memories may lie ahead!

Keep your sights set, and happy hunting!

The Ultimate Hog Sniper

Last night, Guide Capt Clayton, also known as Guide Peanut Protector, led this customer on our first Hog Hunt of March for Pig Problem and it was one for the books! They found Pigs in the first field they entered and were lucky enough to drop 4 of them with only one guy shooting. It goes to show that you don't need a large group to handle these Pesky Hogs - you just need someone like Jeff.

Jeff, a surgeon by day, proved to be a Nightmare for the Wild Hogs at night. His precision and skill on the Hunt was unmatched, leaving the Wild Pigs trembling in fear. Thanks to Jeff, the rest of the night was quiet as no more Hogs were spotted, becasue all the Wild Hogs were scared of him.

Reflecting on the night, Guide Capt Clayton acknowledged the unique talent that Jeff brought to the Hunt. He humbly shared, "It’s a blessing and a curse being this good." Here's to many more Successful Hunts and Jeff continuing to be a force to be reckoned with in the World of Hog Hunting.

Hunting Wild Hogs

This was the second night of their 2 Night Hog Hunting Package. They successfully took down 2 Pigs at the first field and then continued driving around in search of more Wild Pigs. Although they had another opportunity to shoot later in the night, they were unable to bring them down. Hogs are known for their toughness, thanks to their thick skin, which allows them to withstand a considerable amount of punishment and quickly recover. Sometimes, after being shot at, Wild Hogs may even pretend to be dead for a short period before getting back up and fleeing to safety. Hog Hunting is a challenging endeavor, but once you Master the Techniques of Hunting Wild Hogs, you will become a Skilled Hunter.

Fun Hog Hunting

Steve and Tom, a Father and Son Huntingduo from Wisconsin, recently joined us in Georgia for their first-ever Hog Hunt with Pig Problem - and Guide Luke (Hank) said they were phenomenal. These guys had a natural talent for stalking, remaining incredibly stealthy throughout the entire experience.

During the Hunt, they managed to confirm one kill from a Sounder in the second field of the night. Shortly after, we encountered another group of Pigs in a different field. Steve and Tom took their shots, but unfortunately, those resilient Wild Hogs managed to absorb the bullets and made a run for it, seeking their own demise in the safety of the nearby trees.

However, we didn't let that discourage us. Our last attempt proved to be successful as we executed a flawless stalk on the final field we visited. But just as we got close, the Wild Pigs decided to wander off, denying us the opportunity for a clean shot. Despite this setback, Steve lightened the mood with his brilliant sense of humor throughout the entire night. I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

Guid Luke hopes to have the pleasure of Hunting with Steve and Tom again in the future. They were not just Great Hunters but also great company. Book a Hog Hunt with us today!
