Two Nights, Two Different Hunts

A Wild Chase with Pig Problem

No two nights of Hog Hunting are ever the same, and this Hunting Trip was proof of that. Guide Hank led a 2-Night Hog Hunt that started as a grind but ended with a Pile of Pigs and plenty of fresh pork to take home.

Night One:

The Long Chase and a Foggy Finish

The Pigs were coming out late, but that didn’t mean we were going to give up on them. After a long 1,000-yard walk, we set up on a Sounder of 20 Pigs, got some shots off, and dropped two.

The rest of the night turned into a wild chase—driving from field to field like madmen, scanning through Thermal Equipment, and covering as much ground as possible to find more Hogs. By the time we were walking back to the van, the sun was up, and a thick morning fog had settled over the field, making for a unique and eerie photo to mark the end of the Wild Hog Hunt.

Night Two:

A Complete Turnaround

What a difference a night makes. After spending most of the first night waiting and chasing, the second night was all action. The first field we hit was full of Wild Pigs, and the Hunters wasted no time. They took down 6 Hogs in a fast-paced stalk, making every shot count.

The next couple of hours were all about putting in the work—stalking, shooting, dragging, and butchering. Since the group needed to head home, we wrapped things up with a great haul of meat and got them on the road at a decent time.

Bear Guides Take On Pig Hunting

Pig Problem

Two Nights in the Field with Bear Guides from Maine

Every Hog Hunt is different, and sometimes the Pigs make you work for it. This past Hunting Trip was a 2 Night Hog Hunt with a group of Bear Guides from Maine. The first night was slow, with no Wild Pigs down. But on the second night, things got interesting.

Night One:

Plenty of Ground, No Pigs Down

The first night, we covered a lot of ground but didn’t get the results we were hoping for. That’s just how it goes sometimes—Wild Hogs are unpredictable, and they can disappear when you least expect it. But even without any Hogs on the ground, it was still a good night in the field, and the guys had plenty of stories to share about Guiding Bear hunts in Maine.

Night Two:

The Sounder Appears

The second night, luck turned in our favor. We spotted a Sounder of about 20 to 30 Hogs and made our approach. Moving carefully with the wind right, we closed in to about 100 yards before the Hunters took their shots. Two Wild Hogs went down, though one was just a Small Piglet—not exactly ideal for a trophy photo.

Hunting and Swapping Stories

Even when the Feral Hogs aren’t flooding the fields, the best part of these Thermal Hunts is the experience. These guys were Seasoned Hunters, and it was great to hear all about Bear Hunting up north—how they track and bait, the thrill of a close encounter, and the challenges of guiding in deep woods. It’s always cool to compare different styles of hunting, and this Hog Hunting Trip was a reminder of how much there is to learn from other Hunters.

3 Nights Of Hunting

Three Nights of Hog Hunting with Guide Clayton

Hog Hunting is never predictable, and no nights in the field are ever the same. Recently, Guide Clayton led a 3-Night Hog Hunt that proved just how unpredictable—and exciting—Chasing Wild Hogs can be.

Night 1:

A Momma and Her Piglets

The first night started off with some action. A Lone Sow and her litter of Piglets made the mistake of stepping into the Hunters’ sights. The team quickly took down the mother, but the Piglets, small and fast, scattered into the brush. Shots were fired, but those little ones proved tough to hit. While none of them dropped, the night was far from uneventful.

Night 2:

Dropping a Sounder

The second night delivered exactly what every Hog Hunter hopes for—a Sounder moving through the fields. The hunters wasted no time and managed to take down 3 Wild Pigs, adding to the success of the Hunting Trip. CJ and Noah, feeling the adrenaline, decided to get up close for a more personal picture with their harvest. Excitement was high, and the night was a solid win for the team.

Night 3:

The Silent Fields

Thermal Hog Hunting isn’t always action-packed, and the third night was a reminder of that. Despite covering miles of ground, checking every hot spot, and staying out as long as possible, not a single Hog showed itself. Some nights, the Pigs just don’t cooperate, and this was one of those times. But as every Seasoned Hunter knows, persistence is key—because the next night could bring a Field Full of Hogs.

Three nights, three very different experiences, and another Unforgettable Hunt in the books. Whether the pigs are running or hiding, the thrill of the chase never gets old.

Hunting Before The Storm

Two Nights of Thermal Hog Hunting with Guide Clayton

Guide Clayton recently led a 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hunters Ron and Doug, and the experience was nothing short of unforgettable.

Night 1:

A Strong Start

The first night got off to a promising start. As soon as the group pulled onto the very first field, a Lone Hog presented itself. Ron and Doug wasted no time, making a clean shot and dropping the Wild Pig right where it stood. The rest of the night, however, was quiet. Despite the stillness of the fields, the energy remained high. The Hog Hunters spent the hours swapping stories, sharing laughs, and enjoying the kind of camaraderie that makes nights in the field truly memorable.

Night 2:

Hunting Through the Storm

The second night brought more action—and a battle with the weather. Thunder and lightning loomed in the distance, but that didn’t slow the Wild Hog Hunt. Three separate Hunting Stalks put the hunters in position, and on one approach, a Hog was still standing when Clayton and Zev moved in. Without hesitation, they lined up side by side and finished the job with precision shots.

Even as the storm rolled in, the night was filled with music, stories, and nonstop conversation. Ron and Doug proved to be not only Skilled Hunters but also great company, making for an Unforgettable Hunt. Nights like these are what keep guides coming back year after year—Chasing Hogs under the cover of darkness, making memories with good people, and living for the next Hog Hunt.

1 Man. 1 Night. 10 Pigs.

Experience the Best in Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem

At Pig Problem, we specialize in Guided Thermal Hog Hunts in Americus, Georgia, offering Hunters an Unforgettable Hunting Experience while helping local farmers protect their land. Wild Hogs are one of the most destructive invasive species in the country, tearing up farm fields, ruining crops, and causing millions of dollars in damage. Our Wild Hog Hunts give you the chance to put your skills to the test while making a real difference.

The Challenge of Hunting Wild Hogs

HogHogs are smart, fast, and unpredictable, making them a tough animal to hunt. They are mostly nocturnal, moving and feeding under the cover of darkness. That’s where Thermal Equipment come into play—our High-End Thermal allow Hog Hunters to detect Heat Signatures, giving them an edge in Spotting Hogs that would otherwise be invisible in the night.

One of the biggest challenges of Hog Hunting is dealing with a Sounder—a Group of Pigs traveling together. When shots ring out, the entire group scatters, turning a well-placed first shot into a chaotic, fast-moving target challenge. These Wild Pigs can hit full sprint in seconds, making follow-up shots a true test of skill. It’s an adrenaline rush like no other.

Just ask Jeff, a longtime customer who knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s one of the best shots we’ve ever had, taking down 10 pigs in a single night by himself. That’s the kind of excitement and skill that makes Thermal Hog Hunting so addictive.

Helping Local Farmers, One Hunt at a Time

At Pig Problem Inc, we’re not just about the Thrill of the Hunt—we’re here to help farmers reclaim their land. Wild Hogs destroy crops, root up pastures, and even damage irrigation systems. By targeting these invasive pests, we help reduce the destruction they cause and keep local farms in business. Every Guided Hog Hunt is another step toward controlling the growing hog population.

Come See for Yourself

Whether you’re an Experienced Hunter or trying Thermal Hunting for the first time, Pig Problem delivers an unmatched Hunting Experience. Our Hunting Guides are experts at stopping for nothing to find Wild Hogs, setting up successful shots, and making sure you have a night to remember.

Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Clayon

At Pig Problem, we’ve seen just about everything on a Hunt. Wild Hogs are unpredictable, the terrain can be challenging. Guide Clayton recently led a Hog Hunt that started with some unexpected challenges and ended with a banger in Wild Hog Hunting.

A Hunt to Remember

The first field of the night gave us a quick opportunity—a Single Pig stepped out, and thankfully, it was just 200 yards from the Hunting Van. Dennis was an incredible guy and his family—positive, determined, and just happy to be out there. And when that Pig presented itself, the group made it count. One shot, one Hog Down. Unfortunately, that was the only Wild Pig we saw all night. After covering multiple Farm Felds and scanning every likely spot, the Wild Hogs just weren’t cooperating.

After a slow first night, the second night had to be better… right?

Wrong. The Pigs had vanished. We hit as many spots we could, scanning with thermal, watching tree lines, and hoping for even a glimpse of movement. But the fields were empty, and the night ended without a single shot fired. Some nights are like that. Hogs are smart—they move constantly, and when they don’t want to be found, they won’t be.

The Hunt Goes On

The Thermal Hog Hunt was an experience to remember. That’s the reality of Wild Hog Hunting—every night is different, and you never know what you’re going to get. Whether it’s a Sounder in the perfect spot or a night of tracking ghosts, it’s always an adventure.Thankfully there was no ghost pigs.

Navigating the Night:

A Tactical Hog Hunt with Guide Hank

At Pig Problem, every Hog Hunt presents new challenges, and our latest 2 Night Hunting Trip was no exception. Guide Hank led a group of five Hunters into the fields, ready for action. While the first night started off slow, patience and strategy paid off in the end.

Photo: Hog Down @PigProblem

One of the biggest hurdles of the night came when we found ourselves surrounded—not by Hogs, but by a large group of deer. Maneuvering through them without spooking the Wild Hog we were after took some careful planning, but our Hog Hunters pulled it off like pros. The reward? A well-earned kill and a great shot placement on a Solid Pig.

Later in the night, around 2 a.m., another target appeared—a Coyote. One of our hunters took the shot, but the tricky Predator managed to escape, leaving no photo evidence behind. Still, the night was a success, and the team is fired up for round two.

Night 2:

Swirling Winds and Quick Shots

Hank’s second Night of Hunting proved to be another success, with two Pigs Down despite challenging wind conditions.

The night started with a visit to the second field, where shifting winds threatened to give us away. As we scanned the area, a Wild Hog caught our scent and began to move off. With quick reaction time, we got a shot off just as it started to run, dropping it before it could escape.

Later in the night, we checked one of the last fields on our route and spotted another Pig. Unfortunately, this one winded us and disappeared into the darkness. Not willing to leave empty-handed, we gave the field another look and found a Small Single Hog lingering behind. This time, the wind worked in our favor, allowing us to take the shot and put it down cleanly.

Despite tricky conditions, the night ended on a high note with two Wild Pigs on the ground—another productive Wild Hog Hunt with Hank leading the way.

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 Down, 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.

Ready to put in the work and Chase Down Wild Hogs under the stars? Pig Problem offers Guided Thermal Hog Hunts that put you in the action. Whether it’s a high-paced shoot or a night that tests your patience, one thing’s for sure—you’ll leave with an Hunting Adventure to remember.

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 rounds and a couple more with a rifle 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 live. 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.

Late-Night Success:

A Two-Night Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton

Hog Hunting is always an adventure, but some Hog Hunts stand out as particularly memorable. That was the case for Glenn and Erik, two Returning Hunters who joined Guide Clayton for another action-packed Two-Night Thermal Hunt with Pig Problem. Having Hunted with Clayton the previous year, they knew they were in for a good time—and the results did not disappoint.

Night One:

Off to a Strong Start

Photo: Boar Down @PigProblem

From the start, it was clear that Glenn and Erik were excited to be back in the fields, ready to take down some Hogs. Their first night out, the trio worked together to track a group of pigs in the fields, using their Thermal Equipment to scan the landscape. With a well-placed shot, they put a solid Wild Boar on the ground, kicking off the Boar Hunt on a high note.

For these guys, it wasn’t just about the Hunt—it was about the experience. Wild Hog Hunting alongside a guide they already knew and trusted made the night feel less like a Guided Hunting Trip and more like a hunt with old friends.

Night Two:

A Hunt to Remember

The second night turned into an endurance test, pushing well into the early morning hours. In a now-familiar pattern, the Wild Hog Hunt stretched all the way to 5 AM, proving once again that patience and persistence pay off in Thermal Hog Hunting.

The wind was not in their favor, blowing directly toward the Pigs from the van. Knowing they had to adjust their strategy, Clayton and the Hunters made a quick decision—they booked it across the field in a last-ditch effort to get into a better position. Clayton climbed onto a pivot to get a better vantage point, hoping the Wild Pigs hadn’t moved. Miraculously, they were still right where they had been, offering the perfect opportunity for a clean shot.

But this Thermal Hunt wasn’t just about strategy and skill—it also came with some unexpected humor. As the team settled into position, the silence of the night was suddenly interrupted. One of the Hunters, unintentionally lightened the mood, causing a brief but hilarious pause in the action. Holding in their laughter was almost as difficult as the stalk itself, but once they regained composure, they got back to business and successfully dropped two Wild Hogs before the night was over.

The Thrill of the Hunt

For Glenn and Erik, we hope this Hunting Trip was more than just another Pig Hunt—it was a chance to return to the fields, enjoy the challenge, and create new memories. For Clayton, it was another reminder of why he loves Guiding Hunts. He might joke that luck plays a big role in his success, but his ability to adapt, make quick decisions, and keep the hunt fun and engaging is what keeps Hog Hunters coming back year after year.

These two hunters have already made it clear—they’ll be back next year for another Unforgettable Hunt. Until then, the Farm Fields of Georgia will keep calling, and the hogs will keep running. But not for long.
