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.

The Reality of Hog Hunting:

A Night with Capt Max

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 kill, 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 kills, and doing whatever it takes to Solve The Pig Problem.

Late-Night Action:

A One-Night Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton

At Pig Problem, we see all kinds of Hog Hunts—some quick and easy, others that turn into an all-night pursuit. On a recent 1 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, Guide Clayton led a group of Hunters who were eager, ready, and, most importantly, willing to listen. That combination usually leads to success, and this Wild Hog Hunt was no exception.

The Night of Hunting started with two go-arounds. The first encounter was a Single Hog, a good warm-up for the group to get dialed in with their pew pews and Thermal. They executed perfectly, making a clean shot and getting their first Hog Down.

But the real excitement came later. At around 2 a.m., Clayton spotted a Sounder of Pigs moving through the fields. This was the moment the group had been waiting for. With precision and patience, they followed Clayton’s guidance, setting up for a well-coordinated shot. When the green light was given, chaos erupted as Multiple Hogs Dropped in the field.

Clayton had nothing but good things to say about this group. “Guys were super easy and listened to everything I said,” he noted. That attention to detail paid off, as they walked away with a successful night of Hog Control and an Unforgettable Hunting Experience.

Another night, another Pig Problem Solved. If you’re ready for a High-Energy Hunt/ Adrenaline-Pumping Hog Hunt, Pig Problem Inc is the place to be. Book your Hunt now and experience the thrill for yourself!

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.

Two Nights with Guide Zev:

Long Stalks, Predator Control, and First-Time Hunters

Every Hog Hunt is different, and this 2 Night Hunting Trip with Guide Zev was no exception. With a mix of long Hunting Stalks, Predator Control, and First-Time Hunters eager to learn, it was an exciting couple of nights in the fields.

Night 1:

A Strong Start with Hogs and Coyotes

The hunt started off strong, dropping a coyote in the very first field. A promising sign of the action to come.

Later in the night, the group spotted a Single Hog at 850 yards. Rather than rushing in, they took a slow, methodical stalk to close the distance. When they finally got into position, the shot was perfect, and the Hog Dropped where it stood.

A second opportunity came at a spot near Preston. Another single hog presented itself, and they took the shot—but this one wasn’t as clean. The hog got back up and managed to escape into the darkness. It happens, but the thrill of the hunt was still there.

Night 2:

No Pigs, But Plenty of Excitemen

The same group was back for round two, and Zev quickly realized these were some of the easiest Hunters to guide. They were super chill, excited about everything, and willing to listen and learn.

While the Wild Pigs didn’t cooperate, the night still had plenty of action. A Coyote went down, and they even took a shot at a beaver, keeping things interesting. For hunters with almost no experience—barely even handling guns before this Hunting Trip—they followed every instruction perfectly. Zev had nothing but praise for them, saying, “I love these guys.”

2 Night Hog Hunt

Never Give Up:

Two Nights of Hog Hunting with Guide Hank

At Pig Problem, persistence pays off. Hunting Wild Hogs at night is never predictable—some nights, the Pigs are everywhere, and others, they seem to disappear into thin air. But one thing is always true: if you keep at it, the opportunity will come.

Guide Hank recently led a Two-Night Thermal Hunt that tested patience, but in the end, determination won out.

Night 1:

Never Give Up

Photo: Boar Down @PigProblem

The night started slow. Field after field, the Thermal Scanners came up empty. At times, it looked like the night might end without a single shot fired. But if there’s one thing about Hog Hunting, it’s that things can change in an instant.

On the very last field of the night, a Wild Pig finally stepped out. The team moved into position, but just as they were setting up, a group of deer spooked and bolted. For a second, it looked like the opportunity might slip away—but luck was on their side. The deer ran off in the opposite direction, and the Pig stayed put just long enough for a clean shot. One Hog Down, and what looked like a lost cause turned into a Successful Hunt.

Night 2:

Right Place, Right Time

The second night started off much like the first. The first field checked was empty, but instead of moving on immediately, the team decided to wait. Sometimes, patience is key.

Photo: JUST KIDDING… just a baby @PigProblem

Just as they were about to leave, movement flickered on the Thermal. Hogs had finally moved in. The Hunters got set up and took their shot, dropping one as the rest of the Sounder scattered into the night. Another great success.

The Thrill of the Hunt

Thermal Hog Hunting is unpredictable, but that’s what makes it so exciting. Every night brings a different challenge, and every Hog Hunt is a reminder that persistence pays off. Whether it’s chasing Wild Hogs across multiple fields or waiting them out in the right spot, the reward is always worth it.

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.

Guided Thermal Hog Hunting is the best way to Hunt—come see for yourself! Book your Hunt with Pig Problem today.

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 shot 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 shots 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 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.
