Night 2 – Blog Post:

Night 2 of this 2-Night Large Group Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem reinforced one of the most important lessons in hunting: patience wins.

Both guides, Hank and Clay, covered ground early in the night, checking multiple fields and staying alert for returning activity. Conditions remained challenging, with bright moonlight and increased nighttime traffic, making Wild Hogs extra cautious and quick to react.

Hank focused on a field that showed promise the night before. Rather than rushing the opportunity, he made the strategic decision to wait the hogs out, anticipating they would return if undisturbed. Sure enough, after nearly an hour, the hogs reappeared — but before the stalk could fully develop, passing headlights caused the pigs to lift their heads and notice movement in the open field. They slipped away once again.

Instead of pushing the issue, Hank stayed patient.

Nearly an hour and a half later, the hogs returned for a second time — offering a rare redemption opportunity. This time, everything came together. The setup was clean, the timing was right, and two hogs were successfully recovered, proving that patience and restraint can make all the difference in Thermal Hog Hunting.

On Clay’s side of the split Hog Hunt, opportunities presented themselves as well. Clay located multiple sounders and put the hunters in position for solid opportunities. Despite good setups, the hogs made it into cover before recoveries could be made — a tough outcome, but one that every experienced hunter understands is part of real hunting.

Throughout both nights, the group stayed positive and engaged, understanding that success isn’t guaranteed, especially under bright moonlight and shifting conditions.

Night 2 closed the Wild Hog Hunt on a strong note with two hog recoveries, lessons learned, and a true demonstration of what Georgia Hog Hunting is really about — adapting to conditions, staying patient, and capitalizing when the moment finally arrives.

Sometimes everything comes together at just the right time — and this 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem was exactly that.

The night kicked off with an early sounder spotted moving across the field, leaving very little time to waste. Guide Hank quickly got the group moving, beginning a steady stalk as the hogs continued to shift away through the field.

Rather than rushing the setup, the team stayed patient and worked the terrain. The sounder eventually settled into a low spot near thick brush, creating the perfect opportunity. Once in position, the hunters were able to capitalize on the moment.

The result was a high-energy encounter with six hogs successfully recovered, making for an excellent night of Hog Hunting and a great haul of meat. Encounters like this are what Thermal Hog Hunting is all about — quick decisions, controlled movement, and making the most of the opportunity when it presents itself.

From early action to a strong finish, this Wild Hog Hunt was a great example of how effective Georgia Hog Hunting can be when everything lines up.

Another successful night in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Hank.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem and Guide Hank (Luke) was a perfect example of why persistence matters in Hog Hunting.

The night started with early promise when Hogs were spotted on the very first field. By the time the group geared up and moved into position, the Pigs had already slipped away — a common tease that experienced hunters know all too well.

As the night went on, fog rolled in, making scanning and travel more challenging. Several fields were checked through the early morning hours with no activity, testing patience and focus. But rather than calling it early, Hank kept pushing and stayed alert for one more opportunity.

That decision paid off.

While driving past another field near the road, Hank spotted a Large Sounder of Wild Hogs moving through the area. Acting quickly, he circled around, positioned the group behind the field, and led a quiet approach from the downwind side.

The stalk came together perfectly. The group slipped in behind the sounder and made the most of the opportunity, resulting in five hogs successfully recovered — a strong finish to a night that demanded patience and persistence.

Fog, long hours, and steady effort all led to a memorable ending. Another successful Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt in the books with Pig Problem Inc and Guide Hank (Luke).

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Pig Problem delivered a little bit of everything — early opportunities, tough conditions, and a strong finish.

The night started off quickly when Guide Zev located hogs early on, creating the first opportunity of the Hog Hunt. A setup came together and one hog was successfully recovered, while the rest of the group slipped away into cover.

As the night went on, fog settled in across the fields, limiting visibility and making travel more challenging. Nights like this test patience and focus, especially when scanning large areas under changing conditions.

Late in the Wild Hog Hunt, persistence paid off. After moving to another area, the group encountered a Large Sounder of roughly 30 hogs right in front of them. The hogs initially spooked and moved across the field, but Zev stayed on them, repositioned, and followed their movement.

That decision led to another opportunity on the far side of the field, where the hunters were able to capitalize and recover two additional Wild Hogs — a strong finish to the night.

Three hogs recovered, heavy fog navigated, and multiple sounder encounters made this a solid and memorable One-Night Hog Hunt with Pig Problem. Nights like this are a great reminder of why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is never predictable — and why staying persistent matters.

Night 1: Wild Hog Hunting

Night 1 – Blog Post:

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan was a perfect example of how patience, persistence, and professionalism come together in real hunting situations.

The night began with several quiet fields, but eventually Jordan picked up a faint thermal signature near a thick brush line. After carefully watching it, the signature revealed itself as a hog slowly working its way toward the open field. The hunters were briefed, and the group moved in quietly, hugging the treeline before cutting into the field.

The first setup came together slowly and deliberately. As the group closed distance and waited for a clear shot opportunity, unexpected outside activity interrupted the stalk and pushed the hog back into cover. After handling the situation professionally and safely, Jordan made the call to move on — a tough decision after a long, patient stalk, but the right one.

Later in the night, persistence paid off.

While scanning another field, Jordan spotted a single hog mixed in with deer activity at the back of the field. The wind was favorable, and the group executed a textbook stalk — moving along the treeline, closing distance, and setting up carefully. After repositioning for a better angle, the hunters were able to connect on the hog.

The hog made it a short distance into the treeline before being located in a safe, accessible area. The recovery went smoothly, and the group wrapped up the moment with photos before processing the hog.

The Hog Hunt closed with one more field check before heading in for the night. Beyond the recovery, what truly stood out were the hunters themselves — positive, patient, and fully engaged throughout every stalk. Their attitude and teamwork made the night especially enjoyable and set the tone for Night 2.

A strong, hard-earned Night 1 in the books with Pig Problem and Guide Jordan — proof that persistence and the right mindset always matter in the field.

Night 2 brought plenty of Hog Activity — but as every experienced hunter knows, seeing Wild Pigs doesn’t always mean easy opportunities.

Darrell returned once again, this time bringing along Izzy, one of his top employees from the electrical field. From the start, she proved exactly why Darrell holds her in such high regard — tough, focused, and fully committed to the Hog Hunt. Long walks, cold conditions, and tough stalks never slowed her down.

Throughout the night, the group encountered multiple hogs across several fields, but the conditions made clean setups difficult. Shifting wind, unexpected deer movement, and hogs slipping into the trees repeatedly disrupted stalks that were otherwise coming together perfectly.

That’s the reality of Thermal Hog Hunting — especially on busy nights when animals are constantly on the move.

Persistence eventually paid off. Late in the night, the team finally got a stalk to come together cleanly. Everything connected on three hogs, and one was successfully recovered in the field. While the others made it into cover, the recovery capped off a night full of effort and determination.

Even without multiple recoveries, this Wild Hog Hunt showcased exactly what Pig Problem is about:
Hog Hunting, conditions, and hunters who understand that success is earned — not guaranteed.

Another busy, hard-fought night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and a group that brought the right mindset to the field.

Some hunters come out once and have a good time.
Others come back — and make every night memorable.

Darrell returned to Pig Problem once again for a two-night hunt with Guide Clay, and Night 2 turned into another standout performance. From the first setup to the final field, Darrell stayed focused, confident, and consistent.

Over the course of the night, Darrell successfully handled Multiple Hog Encounters, navigating singles and groups alike and putting together one of the most productive nights of the season. His ability to stay calm, make smart decisions, and adjust to fast-moving hogs showed exactly why he’s become one of Clay’s favorite hunters to guide.

The conditions made the night even more impressive.
Temperatures dropped hard, freezing the ground solid and turning the fields into concrete. Movement was tough, footing was unforgiving, and every step mattered. Even so, Darrell pushed through and made the most of every opportunity.

Late in the night, after a slip on the frozen ground, the decision was made to call it and head back in — a smart move after a long, successful night in harsh conditions.

Beyond the results, what truly stands out about Darrell is the kind of person he is to Wild Hog Hunt with. Easygoing, respectful, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, he brings great energy to the field every time he shows up. That’s the kind of hunter guides hope will keep coming back — and Darrell already plans to do just that.

Another memorable night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clay, and one of our favorite repeat hunters of the season.

Some hunters leave an impression the first time they come out.
Others earn a reputation.

Darrell did both — and then came back again in the same week to do it all over.

On this one-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt, Guide Clayton and Darrell covered ground and found opportunity after opportunity in the form of three different single hogs. Singles are some of the hardest animals to Hunt — they don’t linger, they don’t bunch up, and they’re constantly moving. Each encounter requires patience, timing, and calm decision-making.

Darrell handled all three encounters flawlessly.
Three setups.
Three clean outcomes.

It was one of those nights where everything clicks — not because it’s easy, but because the hunter knows exactly what they’re doing. The kind of night guides remember, and the kind of hunter guides hope comes back (and Darrell did).

Beyond the field success, Darrell is simply one of those people you enjoy being around. Easygoing, confident, and fun to Thermal Hog Hunt with — the kind of guy who makes the miles, the waiting, and the late hours feel effortless.

Another great night in the books with Pig Problem, Guide Clayton, and one of our favorite repeat hunters of the season.

We’ll be ready whenever Darrell decides it’s time to come back again.

2 Night Hog Hunting Trip

Night 2 picked up right where Night 1 left off — with freezing temperatures that had the fields shining and fog crystallizing in the beams of our lights. It was the kind of cold that’s rare for South Georgia and completely changes how Wild Hogs behave.

The first field of the night held a single hog, and the team made a clean approach. Even with solid encounters, the hog pushed deep into the trees after covering nearly 500 yards, leaving no opportunity for recovery.

Around midnight, another Lone Hog appeared — this time requiring a mile-long walk to get into position. The stalk was perfect, but this hog reacted the same way as the first, absorbing the impact and disappearing into the treeline.

Sometimes that’s just how wild hogs are built:
tough, driven, and capable of covering incredible distances when pressured.

But persistence always pays off.

Later in the night, the crew located a group of three, and this time everything came together. Two hogs were recovered in the field, while the third slipped into cover that couldn’t be safely searched. Still, it was a strong finish to a cold, challenging night.

One of the most memorable parts of the Thermal Hog Hunt wasn’t even a hog — it was the fog crystallizing in the freezing air, creating a sparkling curtain across the field. A rare and beautiful sight in South Georgia, especially during a Boar Hunt.

Two nights, shifting temperatures, miles walked, and multiple encounters… and another successful Thermal Hunt with Pig Problem.

Wild Hog Hunting In Cold Weather

Cold weather changes everything in Georgia Hog Hunting, and this night proved it. The temperature dropped hard, the air was sharp, and the Pigs were on the move from the moment Guide Clay hit the fields.

Pigs were everywhere, but they weren’t holding still. Over the course of the night, Clay made four solid stalks, each one quiet, patient, and perfectly executed — but every time he closed in, the pigs drifted straight into the treeline before the team could get set.
It was one of those classic right place, wrong time situations that every hunter knows well.

Even with pigs constantly slipping into cover, persistence paid off.
Clay eventually got the team lined up on a pair of hogs, and both were successfully recovered in the field — a clean finish to a night full of movement and challenges.

The fields were soft from recent rain, and at one point Clay managed to get the van stuck (again). But in true guide fashion, a shovel, traction pads, and a lot of determination got everything back on track. That’s part of Hog Hunting farmland — conditions change fast, and guides adapt right along with them.

Despite the cold and the constant pig movement, it was another successful and memorable night of Thermal Hog Hunting with Pig Problem.
Some nights are full of sounders, some are full of stalks, and some — like this one — are all about timing, persistence, and a strong finish.
