A Night of Adventure with Guide Clayton and Guide Zev

The Thrill of the Hunt awaited us this past December 28, when our excitement reached new heights at Pig Problem. Our first guests, Don and his wife, made the long trek from Canada, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to have them join us for a 1 Night Hog Hunt. With Don bringing along some night vision binoculars, it was clear this would be a memorable outing right from the start.

From the moment they arrived, Don and his wife brought an energetic and lively spirit that filled the air. While their enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming at times, it also created a fun atmosphere that kept everyone entertained. We set up on the range to test out Don's night vision binos, which added an exciting twist to our preparation and made for some great camaraderie.
Even though the weather didn’t cooperate much—with intermittent rain and fog rolling in and out—we were determined to make the night count. After some careful Tracking Wild Hogs, our hard work paid off when we spotted a group of five Wild Hogs. With precision and skill, we managed to drop one of them. It was a fantastic way to cap off an Adventurous Hunt, exemplifying the thrill of Hog Hunting under the stars.

Moving on to December 28-29, we welcomed back Guide Zev, who had just returned to Pig Problem after a break. The anticipation in the air was palpable; Clayton was especially excited to have his old Hunting Buddy back in action. The night began on a promising note as our group quickly spotted a potential target on one of the first fields we checked.
However, just as quickly as the excitement ignited, it fizzled out as the hours went by without much more action. With only the sounds of the wilderness surrounding us, thoughts outside of the Thermal Hog Hunt crept in—conversations took us down some wild paths, touching on everything from "steroid-induced degeneracy" to outrageous workplace stories.

We finally located another Hog, but due to a slight miscalculation during the stalk, it got spooked, resulting in a single hit. Despite our best efforts, we lost track of that one in the dense forest. As fatigue set in, the Hog Hunters began to ponder their choices: “Maybe we should have gone to Disneyland?”
But this group was not easily deterred. Just as dawn approached, luck smiled upon us once again. We successfully Hunted down another Wild Pig, and the excitement in the air was tangible. To top off the night, we even had a chance to partake in some Beaver Hunting, with little Max proving his skills in an impressive display of how to attract them using his hand.
Final Thoughts
As we wrap up this latest adventure at Pig Problem Inc, it’s clear that each Guided Hunt brings its own set of stories and experiences that make us look forward to the next. Whether it’s navigating the quirks of our guests, the waiting game of the hunt, or sharing laughs over purely absurd topics, every outing is unique and memorable in its own way.
Thank you to Don, his wife, and little Max for joining us on this unforgettable Hunting Trip. And a special shoutout to Guide Zev for returning to the fold—here’s to many more nights filled with adventure and camaraderie!
