Wild Hog Hunt With Guide Capt. Clayton's
This past weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a dynamic group of four Hunters for a thrilling 2 Night Hog Hunt led by the one and only Capt. Clayton. As the sun set over the South Georgia fields, the excitement in the air was palpable. Our Hog Hunters were ready for the challenge that awaited them—Hunting Wild Hogs under the cloak of darkness.

The first night kicked off with a flurry of anticipation. Our group kicked into gear and quickly found a small Sounder of four Wild Pigs. They were able to bring one down, but as we all know, Pigs can be unpredictable! The rest of the group scurried away, leaving our Hunters with a mix of excitement and determination. After, they spotted a Single Pig in the distance. However, despite their best efforts, shots were fired, but the Lone Hog escaped unscathed.
The laughter and camaraderie shared among the group turned the frustrations of missed opportunities into lighthearted banter. These guys were genuinely funny, making the night as entertaining as it was thrilling. With a signature farewell, “Goodnight, starshine! Until tomorrow night,” everyone headed off to rest up for another day.

The second night started off a bit slower because no one was stripping clothes. For some reason Hogs like that. But, the group kept their spirits high, sharing jokes and funny stories as they navigated the night. Finally, around 3:30 a.m., Capt. Clayton spotted a Solitary Boar all by himself. This was the moment they had been waiting for!
With precision and teamwork, they executed the Hog Hunt and swiftly put an end to the boar's lonely life. The thrill of the chase mixed with their shared excitement transformed the night into a memorable conclusion of their adventure.
Embracing the Challenges of Hog Hunting
Hog Hunting is a unique experience that differs significantly from other forms of Hunting. Stalking Wild Hogs in complete darkness presents its own set of challenges: getting close without being detected, aiming accurately at animals that move swiftly, and navigating terrain. With skin that’s tough as armor and the ability to run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour, taking down a Wild Hog is no simple task.
It's easy to underestimate the complexity involved until you're in the thick of it. Mastering The Art of Hunting Wild Hogs requires time, practice, and experience. Unless your name is Megan. Megan’s are just naturally good at everything.
