When it comes to Wild Hog Hunting, every Hunting Trip is a unique adventure, filled with triumphs and challenges. Recently, our Guide Hank led a group of Hunters on a 2 Night Hunting Expedition that certainly delivered on both fronts. Join us as we dive into the highs and lows of this Unforgettable Hog Hunt.
Night 1:
A Roaring Start

From the moment we set foot in the first field, it was clear that this Hog Hunt was going to be one for the books. Hank recounted one of the loudest stalks he’s ever experienced, as we trekked through the frozen cut corn and melted icy snow. It was a test of patience and skill, but with some determination, we managed to get within 100 yards of the Wild Pigs.
In a flash of adrenaline-fueled action, we successfully secured 3 Pigs before they vanished into the brush, leaving us high on success but hungry for more. The Thrill of the Hunt pushed us onward, and we searched tirelessly throughout the night for additional opportunities to strike. While our efforts did not yield further Piggies, the first night was nothing short of triumphant—a fantastic kick-off to our Hunting Adventure!
Night 2:
The Wild Side of Hunting

As dusk fell on our second evening, reality set in. While the first night had blessed us with immediate satisfaction, the second brought a different kind of challenge. Despite our excitement and the promise of what lay ahead, it was a late night filled with empty returns.
Our strategy almost paid off when we saw a Sounder of Hogs just across a neighboring property, but they remained tantalizingly out of reach, teasing us with their presence. Instead, we opted to shift focus and scouted for other opportunities, which led us to a brief encounter with a Coyote. Although we didn’t manage to score a shot, the experience was capitalized with a cool photo that perfectly captured the essence of the Coyote Hunt.
As the night wore on, it became clear that this is the reality of Thermal Wild Hog Hunting: some nights yield incredible success while others put our patience to the test. Hank reflected on the experience, remarking how different things might have been if we’d resorted to baiting or sitting in a stand, but that’s just not our style. We’re a band of hunters who thrive on the wild, unpredictable nature of the chase.

This Pig Problem Guide is more than just a summary of what happened in two nights; it’s a testament to the spirit of Hog Hunting itself. It’s about embracing the exhilarating highs, the frustrating lows, and everything in between. While Hank may not have brought them home a dozen pigs, the memories made and the fellowship shared under the stars are what truly enrich the experience.
So here’s to the next Wild Hog Hunt—a reminder that in the world of Guided Hog Hunting, you never know what will happen next. Until then, stay rugged and keep chasing those Wild Hunts. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Happy hunting!
