Guided Thermal Hog Hunt

Night one of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with some solid success under the stars.

Guide Zev led his hunter out east to Larry Cooper Road, where the team spotted a Sounder of Wild Hogs moving through the fields. With expert setup and precision Hunting, he managed to drop two pigs before the rest of the group disappeared into the trees — a strong start to this South Georgia Hunt.

The action proves one thing: the pigs are still out there, and they’re on the move. This region is packed with Feral Hog activity, especially around farmland and backroads where Hog SWAT runs its Wild Hog Hunts. Every night brings a different challenge, and that’s what keeps Night Hog Hunting so exciting.

At Hog SWAT, we specialize in Guided Thermal Hog Hunts in South Georgia, using state-of-the-art thermal to help hunters spot and engage hogs after dark. Our Thermal Hunts aren’t just about the thrill — they help landowners protect their crops and property from the damage caused by wild hogs.

Whether you’re booking your first Guided Hog Hunt in Georgia or returning for another adventure, Hog SWAT delivers the full experience — top-tier equipment, experienced guides, and plenty of adrenaline once the pigs start moving.

Night two is up next, and if it’s anything like this one, we’re in for another great night of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia.

Bachelor Hog Hunting Trip

There’s no better way to celebrate a bachelor party than Chasing Wild Hogs under the stars — even when the pigs have other plans. Guide Zev led this one-night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia, just outside Americus, GA, and it was one to remember.

The night started strong when the Thermal Drone spotted a few Wild Hogs at one of the fields we crop protect — twice. The group tried to stalk in close, but the pigs vanished into the trees before anyone could get a shot off. From there, the Hog Hunt turned into a true South Georgia adventure: walking fields in the dark, admiring the stars, and keeping the laughs going with plenty of trash talk in the van.

The guys came loaded down with all kinds of tactical gear, ready for action, but sometimes that’s just how Thermal Night Hunting goes — unpredictable and full of surprises. Even without a harvest, the crew had a blast and made memories that’ll last long after the bachelor party’s over.

If you’re planning your own Bachelor Party Hunt in Georgia, grab your friends and come experience the thrill of a Guided Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT. Every night brings a new adventure.

What's Better Than College Game Day In Georgia?

What’s better than College Game Day in Georgia? A Friday night spent chasing Wild Hogs under the stars.

While fans were gearing up for another weekend of football, one Father–Daughter Hunting Duo was out in the fields for night one of their 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Zev — and they kicked things off like champions.

The night started off calm, but as soon as Zev got them in position, things got exciting fast. With steady teamwork and good communication, they dropped five pigs, setting the tone for an action-packed weekend.

Between laughs, stories, and a few “Go Dawgs!” (they didn’t say that I added it because… GO DAWGS!) along the way, this Hog Hunt had everything that makes South Georgia nights special — family, teamwork, and the thrill of watching the fields light up through thermal scopes.

Stay tuned for night two, because if this first round is any sign, the next one’s going to be a highlight reel…lol

Georgia Hog Hunting

The second night of this 2-Night Hog Hunt showed just how unpredictable Wild Hogs can be. The Hog Hunters started the evening sitting over a field, where plenty of deer and critters kept the night lively.

Around 2:30 a.m., two Hogs finally appeared. The deer in the field ended up spooking them and pushing them farther away, but the hunters stayed patient and made a move. They set up for a chance a little farther than normal and made contact with both pigs, but the hogs managed to slip into cover before they could be recovered.

Even without hogs to show, it was still a Thermal Hog Hunt full of action, close calls, and long hours under Thermal. That’s the reality of South Georgia Hog Hunting—sometimes the win comes in the chase itself.

Every night in the field adds to the experience, and with Feral Hogs, no two Guided Hog Hunts are ever the same.

At Hog SWAT, every Thermal Hunt is different, and this one led by Guide Kaleb proved that persistence and patience make all the difference. This wasn’t like the last few Guided Hog Hunts—it required hard work, determination, and the ability to adapt in the field.

The first field of the night looked promising with a single hog out in the open. Just as the stalk began, a vehicle pulled into the field and spooked the pig, sending it back into cover. From there, the night seemed to shift, and the fields filled mostly with deer. Around 1 a.m., another single hog appeared, but before the hunters could get set up, it slipped away into the night.

As hours passed, the team stayed focused, even when hope started to fade. By 4 a.m., many thought the Boar Hunt was over, but Kaleb wasn’t ready to quit. He knew that hogs often move late, and sure enough, just before 5 a.m., he spotted a pig moving across the field. Some mistook it for a deer, but Kaleb quickly confirmed it was time to gear up.

The stalk took them through tall corn, making visibility tough. Just as the hunters were preparing, the hog closed the distance and came within about 30 yards, locking eyes with the group. There was no time for a long setup—the team acted fast, and with precision, they had success.

The excitement of that moment turned what seemed like a slow night into one packed with adrenaline, teamwork, and a story these hunters will never forget.

Every Georgia Hog Hunt is unique, and this one reminded us that patience in the field is always rewarded. Hog SWAT’s Thermal Hunting Trips are about more than just the pursuit—they’re about the adventure, the strategy, and the memories made along the way.

Why You Should Avoid Light-Colored Shirts on Night Hog Hunts

Photo: Hog Hunting @PigProblem

When it comes to Night Hog Hunting, your clothing choice can make a big difference in your success—especially under a fuller moon. Wild Hogs have eyesight similar to humans. On bright nights, it’s much easier to see across a field, which means if you can spot a pig from 50–100 yards away, they can also spot you.

Wearing white or other light-colored shirts can make you stand out like a beacon in the moonlight. Since hunters are taller than Hogs, your silhouette becomes even more noticeable. Instead, choose darker clothing—deep greens, browns, or dark grays are ideal. Avoid pure black, as it can create issues with thermal.

At Hog SWAT, we recommend dressing to blend into the night. It’s one of the easiest ways to keep the Pigs from spotting you before you spot them.

Two Nights, Two Sunrises:

A Memorable Father-Son Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb

Some Hog Hunts are fast and furious. Others are a grind. This one was the latter—but what a payoff.

Guide Kaleb recently led a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt for a Father and Son Hunting Duo that reminded us all why we do this: not just for the Pigs, but for the Hunting Memories made under the stars, the miles walked in the dark, and the satisfaction of earning every chance.

Night 1:

Hope at the Final Hour

The first night started slow. Real slow. Field after field turned up nothing but deer. Spirits began to fade, and by 3:30 a.m., you could feel the discouragement setting in. But Kaleb wasn’t ready to call it. He made one last push, one final sweep of a back field—and at 5:30 a.m., it paid off. A Sounder of Pigs.

They were jittery right from the start. We made a careful stalk, but they weren’t making it easy. Still, Kaleb got the hunters into position. The chance was farther than ideal, but the opportunity wasn’t going to get better. It was now or never. The team connected, and though the Hogs made it to the woods, it was a thrilling way to end an otherwise slow night. The father and son were both Top-Notch Hunters—resilient, positive, and a blast to Wild Hog Hunt with despite the long wait.

Night 2:

From Frustration to Fireworks

Night two came with its own challenges. We had a Sow and her young hanging close to the treeline. Kaleb and the Hog Hunters set up in the field, ready for them to step out. After about 30 minutes, just when it looked like they were going to make a move, a deer blew our cover—literally—and spooked the whole setup.

Later in the night, we spotted a Lone Hog out in the open. It took a long walk and a careful stalk to get in range, with the moon bright and deer watching from every corner. But patience and persistence paid off. The Hunters locked in and made it count.

As the night wound down, we made one last check before calling it. Nothing at first—then a Sounder way off in the distance. The sun was about to rise, so we had to move fast. Kaleb led the final stalk, and it all came together. Both hunters landed solid chances, each re-homing a Wild Hog just before first light. The others escaped into the woods, but the smiles said it all.

We finished the Thermal Hog Hunt under a colorful South Georgia sunrise, swapping stories and laughing about the night’s events. These guys were a joy to guide, and the Guided Hog Hunt reminded us that the best moments often come when you push through the quiet stretches and keep grinding.

Thermal Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT:

Two Nights, Three Hogs Down

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is about protecting farmland, experiencing the thrill of Thermal Hunting, and making memories along the way. Recently, Guide Zev led a 2 Night Hunt for a group of three Hog Hunters, and while the Pigs didn’t make it easy, the team got 3 Hogs by the end of the Hunting Trip.

Night 1:

One and Done

Photo: Boar Hunting @HogSWAT

The first night started like most Wild Hog Hunts—scanning fields with high-end thermal equipment, searching for signs of movement. Hogs are Nocturnal by nature, making them difficult to track, but with the right gear and Experienced Hunting Guides, Hunters get a huge advantage.

It didn’t take long before the team spotted a Lone Boar moving through a field, likely searching for food. Wild Hogs are responsible for millions of dollars in crop damage every year, tearing up fields, destroying root systems, and competing with livestock for resources. This was exactly the kind of Pig that needed to be taken out.

The Hunters set up, lined up their shot, and with a well-placed round, the Wild Boar was down. Despite covering more ground that night, no other Wild Pigs presented themselves. That’s the challenge of Wild Hog Hunting—sometimes you get into them quick, and sometimes they stay just out of reach.

Night 2:

More Pigs, More Action

Photo: Got Em @HogSWAT

The second night brought more opportunities. This time, the group came across a Sounder of 4 Hogs moving through a field. Wild Pigs travel in groups, and when a Sounder is feeding, it’s the perfect chance to take out multiple animals at once. Before they all scatter.

With the element of surprise and Thermal giving them the advantage, the hunters got into position. When the dust settled, Two Hogs were down, while the others escaped into the brush. We’ve only seen a handful of full people be able to take out more than 3 Pigs out of a Sounder. Wild Boar Hunting is hard.

Why We Hunt

For these Hog Hunters, the Wild Hog Hunting Trip was about more than just the Thrill of the Hunt—it was about helping farmers protect their land from destructive wild hogs. With no natural predators and rapid reproduction rates, Hog Populations are out of control, making them one of the most damaging invasive species in the country.

That’s why Hog SWAT does what it does. Every Hog Hunt not only gives Hunters an Unforgettable Hunting Experience but also helps control the hog population, reducing farm destruction and supporting local farmers.

A Hog Hunt to Remember

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is an adventure, and last night was no exception. Guide Max led Trevor and Lorry, two brothers looking for a thrilling Night of Hog Hunting. From the start, the energy was high—these guys came ready for action and a good time.

Photo: Boar Down @HogSWAT

The night started slow, with fewer Hogs Moving than usual, but that didn’t put a damper on the Hunting Experience. With Thermal Equipment Scanning the Fields, we kept at it, sharing stories and plenty of laughs along the way. The wait paid off when a Big Boar finally presented itself. There was success.

Even on a slower night, good company and a Successful Hunt make for a Memorable Hog Hunting Experience. We had a blast with these guys and hope to see them back in the field soon for another round!

When it comes to Hog Hunting, no two nights in are ever the same, but every Thermal Hunt is an adventure. Guide Max recently led a 1 Night Hog Hunt with two brothers, Eric and Angel. For Angel, this was a special night—his First Hunt Ever.

The Wild Hog Hunt kicked off strong. As soon as they pulled into a field, they encountered a Sounder of Wild Hogs. Moving quickly, the group got into position. There was success, with one more making it into the trees.

After that first wave of action, the night slowed down, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The Pig Hunt wasn’t just about numbers—it was about the memories made in the field. For Angel, the rush of his First Hog Hunt and the thrill of the first success were moments he won’t forget.

Even on a slow night, Hog SWAT delivers. Thermal Equipment, Strategic Hunting, and the chance to Hunt alongside Experienced Hunting Guides make every Hunting Trip one to remember. Whether it’s your first hunt or your hundredth, there’s nothing quite like Hunting Wild Hogs under the cover of darkness.

A One-Night Hunt with Guide Hank

Not every Hog Hunt is fast and action-packed. Some nights test your patience and persistence, but in the end, staying the course makes all the difference.

Photo: Small Boy? @HogSWAT

Guide Hank led this Thermal Hunt, and from the start, it was a slow night. Moving from field to field, the Pigs stayed out of sight. After two hours of waiting in one promising spot with nothing to show for it, it was time for a change of plans. The final field of the night turned out to be the right call. A Lone Hog, head buried deep in a Peanut Field, was too focused on his meal to notice the Hunters moving in. With the wind shifting unpredictably, the stalk wasn’t easy, but the opportunity was there. The Hog Hunters made their move, and ended the night on a high note.

Even on slow nights, persistence leads to success. Whether the Wild Pigs are everywhere or playing hard to find, the Wild Hog Hunt goes on. If you’re ready for a challenge and a Hunting Experience, book a night with Hog SWAT—because the next field might be the one that pays off.

Thermal Predator Hunting

From Coyotes to Hogs:

A Three-Night Thermal Hunt with Guide Zev

Not every Hog Hunt goes as planned, but that’s what makes it exciting. Guide Zev recently led a 2 Night Hog Hunt for a group of three Hunters, and it turned into an adventure they won’t forget.

Night One:

When the Hogs Don’t Show, the Coyotes Will

Photo: Predator Hunting @HogSWAT

The first night, the hunters covered ground, scanning field after field, but the Hogs weren’t moving. That’s when the hunt took an unexpected turn - a Coyote stepped into range.

Thermal Hog Hunt? Not quite. Predator Hunt? Absolutely.

If you’ve never Hunted Coyotes, you’re missing out. These fast, Elusive Predators make for an exciting challenge, and the Hog Hunters made the most of the opportunity. First success of the Hunting Trip.

Night Two:

Back on Track

Photo: Hog Down @HogSWAT

With a Coyote but no Wild Hogs yet, night two was all about redemption. Guide Zev put in the work, adjusting tactics and covering new ground. Then, finally - Pigs on the move.

The Coyote Hunters wasted no time, and success a Wild Hog. Just like that, the hunt was back on track.

The Challenge of Thermal Hog Hunting

Hog Hunting with Thermal is one of the most exciting and challenging hunts you’ll find. Wild Hogs are smart, tough, and unpredictable. Some nights, they keep you guessing. Other nights, you’re right on top of them. That’s what makes it Thermal Hunting.

At Hog SWAT, we know the game. Whether it turns into a Coyote Hunt or we’re chasing down pigs, every Wild Hog Hunt is an adrenaline-packed adventure. Book your Guided Hog Hunt today and see for yourself!

There’s something special about watching a father and his sons out in the field, learning the patience, discipline, and excitement that come with the Hunt.

Night 1:

A Bonus Hog with No Dragging

The first night started strong with one Hog Down early on. The Hunters got a second chance, but it made a break for the woods. Just when they thought the night was over, another Pig popped up in the field on the way back to the van. Success agian. We’ll call that a win-win.

Night 2:

Quick Thinking, Quick Shooting

The second night started with a bit of luck. While driving past a field, Hank Spotted Pigs right by the road. Wasting no time, they turned around, pulled in, and set up behind the van for cover. Just as they were getting ready, a couple of passing vehicles lit them up with headlights - an unexpected obstacle, but the Wild Pigs didn’t bolt. The Hog Hunters had success two more Wild Hogs before the Sounder scattered.

Georgia Guided Hunting

Hog SWAT

Three Nights, Six Hogs:

A Hog Hunt to Remember

Photo: Killing In The Dark @HogSWAT

Guide Luke and his two Hunters arrived for a 3 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, ready to put their skills to the test. From the very first night, the action was on, with Pigs Spotted immediately. Each night brought new challenges, but with patience, strategy, and expert guiding, they racked up an impressive total of 6 Hogs. Here’s how it all went down.

Night 1:

Off to a Strong Start

Photo: Hog Hunting @HogSWAT

The first night started with a promising sight - Pigs moving between trees on two different properties where Hog SWAT has access. Unfortunately, the only path between them was directly upwind, making a direct approach impossible without spooking the hogs.

Instead, Luke took a different route, leading his Hog Hunters through a small opening to get within good distance. The strategy paid off as they got 2 Hogs right out of the gate. The rest of the night was quiet, but with two Pigs, it was already a success.

Night 2:

Adapting to the Conditions

Photo: Pig Hunts @HogSWAT

The second night presented a new challenge - a Sounder of Hogs in an open, well-lit field, making it tough to move in undetected. Luke spotted an opportunity when the Pigs moved behind hay bales, breaking their line of sight. Using the cover to his advantage, he swiftly guided the hunters into position at about 60 yards. They had success.

Night 3: The Grand Finale

Photo: Taking Down Wild Hogs @HogSWAT

The last night of the Hog Hunt needed to be big - and it delivered. The highlight of the night was a patient, well-executed stalk that resulted in 3 Hogs, including an impressive Blue Boar.

With a full moon overhead, stealth was critical. Luke used a pivot as cover, keeping it between the hunters and the hogs as they closed the distance. The strategy worked perfectly, allowing them to get within 120 yards. The patience and persistence paid off, wrapping up the Thermal Hunt with a total of six hogs over three nights.

Hunting Bobcats

Hog SWAT

A Wild Night in the Fields:

Hog Hunting… and a Bonus Bobcat!

At Hog SWAT, every Night Thermal Hunt is unpredictable. Some nights, the Hogs cooperate. Other nights, Mother Nature and the wild have different plans. Guide Hank recently led a group of four Hunters on a 1 Night Guided Hunt, and while the Wild Hogs played hard to get, the night still ended with a big success - including an unexpected Predator Encounter.

The Hunt Begins:

Close Calls and Tough Breaks

The first stalk of the night looked promising, but the wind wasn’t in there favor. A sharp-nosed hog caught there scent and was gone before anything could happen. On the second stalk, the team managed to connect with a Pig, but it made it into the woods before we could recover it for a picture - an unfortunate but common reality in Wild Hog Hunting.

Third Stalk:

An Unlikely Guest Appears

By the third setup of the night, the Hog Hunters were locked in and ready to go. They had just about closed the distance on a group of pigs when, out of nowhere, a Bobcat decided to crash the party - spooking the hogs and taking their place in the field.

With the Wild Pigs gone, the group quickly shifted gears. Everyone was on board with the new plan on the predator, the bobcat had its picture taken. This wasn’t just any bobcat - it was a perfect specimen, and the Bobcat Hunters decided it would make an awesome mount to remember the Bobcat Hunt.

Great Success in the End

While the night didn’t go exactly as planned, that’s what makes Thermal Hunting so exciting. Wild Hogs may have been the target, but the unexpected Trophy Bobcat of the night turned out to be a Beautiful Bobcat, making for an Unforgettable Hunting Experience.

If you’re ready for a Thermal Hog Hunt where anything can happen, book your Hunt with Hog SWAT today. Whether it’s Hogs, Coyotes, or a once-in-a-lifetime predator encounter, you never know what you’ll find in the Farm Fields of South Georgia!
