April Hunt Recap from Pig Problem

This past week, Guide Capt Max and our newest team member, Caleb, headed out for a Two-Night Hog Hunt with a great Group of Hunters. Caleb is currently training under Max’s wing, and this Hunting Trip was a perfect opportunity to gain some solid experience in the field. Here’s how it went down.

Night 1:

Weather Delays, But Worth the Wait

The first night started off slow. The usual signs of activity just weren’t there early on, and before long, the skies opened up with rain and thunder rolling through the area. It looked like we might have to pack it in, but after a bit of patience, the storm passed—and so did our luck.

Not long after the skies cleared, movement picked up. A Single Hog made its way into the Farm Field, and our Hunters were ready. Let’s just say they made the most of the opportunity. That one moment turned the whole night around.

Night 2:

Slow Action, Great Company

Night two was quieter. Wild Hog movement was minimal with only a few coyotes and the occasional deer sighting. Sometimes the Pigs just don’t want to play the game, but that’s part of what makes each Hog Hunt unique.

What the night lacked in action, it made up for in laughs and good company. These Hog Hunters were a great group—stories were shared, jokes were flying, and memories were made. That’s what it’s all about.

Caleb’s doing an awesome job getting up to speed under Max’s guidance, and we’re excited for the future as he becomes part of the regular guide team.

Until next time—stay ready, stay sharp, and we’ll see you in the fields for Thermal Hog Hunting.

Birthday Memories & Family Traditions:

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.

Two Nights of Chaos, Calm, and Connection

A Memorable Hunt with Capt. Clayton

Not every Hog Hunt is about filling the cooler. For some folks, it’s about the full experience—the thrill of the stalk, the stillness of the night, the laughter, the challenges, and the stories that come out of it all. That’s exactly what this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Peanut Protector Capt. Clayton was about.

Night One:

Quiet Fields and Missed Chances

The first night was all about patience and persistence. We moved through the darkness with high hopes, but despite three stalks and plenty of effort, the Pigs managed to stay just out of reach. No opportunities, no close encounters—just quiet fields, long walks, and a chance to soak in the calm side of the Wild Hog Hunt.

While the action was slow, the energy of the group never faded. These hunters were out there for more than just results—they were soaking in every moment, taking in the sights, the sounds, and the full experience of Hunting Wild Hogs at Night.

Night Two:

A Little Chaos and a Lot of Fun

The second night brought a shift in momentum. We had two exciting stalks that brought us in close, and the team was ready. The first opportunity came out of nowhere—sparked by a moment of confusion over changed names in the OnX app—and just like that, the night turned around.

It was a night full of action, laughs, and the kind of adrenaline that keeps you coming back for more. As Capt. Clayton put it, “I love chaos just as much as I love calmness.” That balance—the extreme highs and lows—is what makes Hunting so real and rewarding.

It’s About More Than Just the Hunt

This Hunting Trip was a reminder that success in the field isn’t measured by numbers alone. It’s about the people, the moments, and the memories made along the way. And with this group, every mile walked and every minute spent under the stars was worth it.

Whether you're finding Hogs across the fields or just soaking in the quiet beauty of a South Georgia night, a Hunt with Pig Problem is more than just a Hog Hunt—it’s an experience. Book your spot today and see what your story will be.

Tracking Down Success:

A Two-Night Hunt with Guide Clayton

Hog Hunting is never guaranteed—that’s why they’re Wild Hogs. Every Hog Hunt is different, and sometimes, success comes down to patience, persistence, and putting in the work.

Guide Capt Clayton recently led a 2 Night Hog Hunt that was the perfect example of this. The first night was quiet, with no Hogs in sight despite hours of searching and covering plenty of ground. But that’s part of the challenge—some nights the Pigs move, and some nights they don’t.

The second night, everything changed. After scanning the fields and staying on the move, the team finally spotted a group of eight hogs. It was exactly what they had been looking for, and after making their move, they had the proof of a Successful Hunt.

No matter what you’re Hunting, success isn’t always measured by the number —it’s about finding what you came for. The challenge, the chase, and the reward of a hard-earned recovery are what make Wild Hog Hunting so exciting.

At Pig Problem Inc, we know every Guided Hog Hunt tells a different story. Ready to see what yours will be? Book a Thermal Hunt and experience it for yourself!

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

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!

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!

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

Photo: 2 Down @PigProblem

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

Photo: What A Night @PigProblem

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 moment. Two Wild Hogs success, 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.

Book Your Hunt

Not every night is nonstop action, but every Guided Hog Hunt is an adventure. Whether it’s Tracking Pigs through the fields or trading stories under the stars, there’s nothing like a Night Hunt with Pig Problem. If you’re ready to get out there, book your Thermal Hunting Trip today!

The Reality of Hog Hunting:

A Night with Capt Max

Photo: Coyote Down @PigProblem

At Pig Problem Inc, every Thermal Hunt is different—sometimes it’s fast action, sometimes it’s a grind, and sometimes, it’s a mix of both. On this 1 Night Thermal Hunt, Guide Capt Max and his Hunters got a little bit of everything: a first-time predator, close encounters with Wild Hogs, and a reminder that all of Hunting is never a guarantee.

The night started strong when Harry dropped his First Coyote. It was a textbook setup—Calling a Coyote in to about 50-60 yards before sealing the deal. A great way to kick things off.

Next up: Wild Pigs. They got on a Sounder early, but despite solid effort, nothing hit the ground. Then came two more opportunities—one pair and one single. But when the wind shifted, the pair caught their scent and vanished. The single? Pulled a Houdini and disappeared into the night.

“Hunting is 100% Present Opportunity,” Capt Max said. “Skill, luck, time all have some play. But mainly, going outside is the biggest part.” That’s the truth of it—showing up, putting in the time, and being ready when the moment comes.

And speaking of putting in the time—Max has spent the past four nights sleeping in the van, getting home at 8-9 a.m. This isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. “Everyone wants to be a Hog Hunter for the glory,” he joked. But the reality? It’s long nights, hard-earned take downs, and doing whatever it takes to Solve The Pig Problem.
