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.

Two Nights, Great Memories —

A Hunt with Guide Kaleb

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt has its own story—and sometimes, it’s the unpredictable nights that leave the strongest memories. Guide Kaleb recently led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt that brought its share of excitement, challenges, and a whole lot of laughter.

Night one started off slow, but momentum picked up when the group spotted a Lone Hog early on. The team worked together seamlessly, and it was one of those perfect moments that makes it all worthwhile. While the rest of the night was quiet on the fields, the energy stayed high. “Lots of laughs and great conversations,” Kaleb said. “These guys were awesome to spend the night Hunting Wild Hogs with.”

Night two kicked off with some early action as a Coyote came into a call. Chances were taken, but the coyote slipped away. Not long after, the crew got on a Sounder of Hogs that led them on a chase across the field—twice around a running pivot. Eventually, the group had a clear opportunity, and several Pigs were looked like they were almost re-homed, but none remained in the field. Later that night, they spotted another Group Of Wild Hogs, but a distant sound that i’m not allowed to say because google can be weird spooked the animals before anything could develop. To wrap things up, they pulled into one last field and spotted another Coyote in the Wild. A quick mouth call brought it in close, but once again, it managed to slip away.

Despite the wild ups and downs, the experience was everything a great Wild Hog Hunt should be. “These were some of the best guys I’ve guided yet,” Kaleb said. “Tons of laughs and some awesome memories made.”

At Hog SWAT, that’s what it’s all about—long nights, good people, and stories that’ll last well beyond the Hog Hunting Season.

A Wild Night in the Georgia Fields

Every Hog Hunt has its own story, and some nights play out like a scene from a movie. On a recent Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, Guide Hank led a group through an unforgettable night full of twists, turns, and the kind of unpredictable Wild Hog Action that keeps us coming back for more.

It all began around midnight when Hank spotted a Sounder in the distance. The team began a careful stalk, moving quietly through the Planted Field. But just as they were getting close, one sharp-eyed Pig caught a glimpse of movement and took off—leading the rest of the group deeper into the field.

Not ones to give up easily, Hank and the Hunters recalibrated and started a second approach. Confidence was high. Then, out of nowhere, two Coyotes came charging over the hill straight toward the Sounder Of Hogs. What could’ve ended the night actually turned into a wild advantage.

In a surprising twist, the Sows stood their ground and pushed back, creating a noisy standoff that distracted the group just long enough for Hank and the team to settle in and make the most of the opportunity. It was a moment that required patience, precision, and quick decision-making.

After that burst of action, the team continued scanning the fields until 4 a.m., soaking in the quiet beauty of rural South Georgia and the thrill of the chase. The night wrapped up with stories, laughs, and the satisfaction of a Wild Hog Hunt well executed.

Whether you’re a First-Time Hunter or a Seasoned Hunter , nights like these are what Hog SWAT is all about—real action, real strategy, and real memories.

A Night to Remember:

Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb

Some nights in the Planted Fields are packed with activity from the start. Others build anticipation until just the right moment. On a recent Hog SWAT Thermal Hunt, Guide Kaleb led a group through one of those slow-burn kind of nights—and it turned into an experience worth talking about.

“The night started off slow,” Kaleb said. “There were plenty of laughs and jokes being tossed around, but not much movement out in the fields.”

Even when the action takes its time, our team stays ready. Patience and persistence are key in this game, especially under the South Georgia stars. The team stayed alert, scanning the fields through Thermal, staying sharp despite the quiet.

Then, early in the morning, a single heat signature appeared.

“We spotted a Solo Hog moving through the brush,” Kaleb recalled. “We made a careful stalk—and it did not disappoint.”

That Lone Wild Hog sighting ended up being the only one of the night, but it made the entire evening worth it. Sometimes it just takes one encounter to turn a slow night into an unforgettable one.

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is different. Whether the action is non-stop or the fields stay quiet until the last hour, our guides work hard to deliver a Hunting Experience you won’t forget. Shoutout to Kaleb for staying sharp and keeping the group engaged—even when the Wild Pigs play hard to get.

At Hog SWAT, we specialize in offering thrilling Thermal-Guided Hog Hunts that create memories to last a lifetime. Over the weekend, one of our skilled guides led a 1-Night Hog Hunt that turned out to be an exciting and successful adventure for all involved.

The Hunt Begins:

A Stealthy Approach

The Hog Hunt kicked off with a careful and stealthy stalk of a Single Hog, but unfortunately, it managed to slip away before they could get into position. While it was a bit of a setback, it didn’t deter the team for long.

A Game-Changing Discovery

Not long after, the guide spotted a Sounder—a group of wild hogs—and the Wild Hog Hunt was back on track. With the help of Thermal , they were able to get into position and ensure that everyone got their chance to experience the thrill of the Thermal Hunt.

By the end of the night, the Wild Hog Hunt was a major success, with 3 Hogs successfully harvested. The team walked away with a sense of satisfaction and excitement, having made the most of their time in the field.

First Night Out

A New Chapter Begins with Hog SWAT

There’s something exciting about a first—First Guided Hunt, first time under the stars with Thermal, or in this case, our newest Guide Caleb’s first night in the field. With experienced Guide Zev leading the way, this 1 Night Hog Hunt was more than just a Hog Hunt—it was the beginning of a new chapter for the Hog SWAT team.

Night Begins with a Success

Right out of the gate, things looked promising. As the van rolled into the very first field, Wild Pigs were already in position. The team quietly got into place, set up quickly, and made the most of the opportunity. Three Pigs were successfully brought in to new homes early in the evening, a great start for any Thermal Hog Hunt—and an awesome first experience for a guide-in-training.

A Quiet Finish and a Great First Step

After that initial success, the night slowed down. The team covered ground, scanned with Thermal Equipment, and stayed sharp, but the rest of the night belonged to deer and a few curious critters. While the action may have tapered off, the experience was anything but dull.

For Caleb, this first Guided Hog Hunt was a chance to see what Hog SWAT is all about—patience, precision, and making every moment in the field count. With Zev showing him the ropes, he’s already on the path to becoming an outstanding Hunting Guide.

More Than Just a Hunt

Every night in the field tells a Hunting Story, and this one marked the start of a new one. We’re proud to have Caleb on board, and we’re looking forward to many more successful nights with him leading the charge.

When most people think of a bachelor party, they picture wild nights in Vegas or beachside blowouts. But for one group of guys, the ultimate send-off before the big day meant something different—a Night Chasing Wild Hogs in the fields of South Georgia.

Guides Zev and Hank took the crew out for what turned into an Unforgettable Hunting Adventure. Covering 800 yards of ground, the group worked their way through the fields, moving in silence, watching the landscape through Thermal Equipment. When the time came, eight Wild Hogs —a moment that had Zev feeling like an absolute legend.

The night wasn’t just about the action—it was about the experience, the camaraderie, and doing something out of the ordinary. Zev had his own take on their choice of a bachelor party:

And that’s really what it’s all about.

Fast-Moving Pigs

A Night Hunt with Hog SWAT

Some nights, the Pigs cooperate. Other nights, they keep you on your toes. On this Hog Hunt, Guide Hank led a group into the fields for a One-Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and the Wild Pigs weren’t making it easy.

Closing the Distance

With Thermal Equipment Scanning Fields, we spotted a group of about Sounder of 10 Hogs. The challenge? They were already on the move. When Hogs are covering ground quickly, every step counts. The key to success was getting as close as possible before they picked up speed and disappeared into the brush.

Making The Moment Count

We closed in carefully, timing our approach just right. When the moment came, the Hunters got there Wild Hogs before the rest of the group scattered. Fast-moving pigs is a challenge, and these guys handled it well.

The Thrill of the Chase

Hog Hunting is about reading the situation, adjusting to the Pigs’ Behavior, and making every moment count. This Wild Hog Hunt was a perfect example of that. When the Feral Hogs don’t stand still, you have to work for every opportunity.

Two Nights of Hog Hunting with Guide Zev

Mud, Miles, and Mayhem

Photo: Sleppy Piggy @HogSWAT

At Hog SWAT, every Guided Hog Hunt has its own story—sometimes it’s about the Pigs, sometimes it’s about the people. Guide Zev just wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt that had a little bit of both… plus some unexpected entertainment.

Night 1:

When Max Steals the Show

The plan was simple—find Pigs, put clients on them, and start Stacking Hogs. But things took a turn when fellow Capt Max showed up early and handled business before Zev even arrived. “I would’ve gotten more pigs,” Zev said, “but Max had to show up early and assert dominance and took them all before I got there.”

With some Wild Hogs already taken care of, the night turned into more of a grind. Around 4 a.m., they finally caught up with a Lone Hog and made a solid Hunting Stalk—about 800 yards of slow, careful movement through the field. The payoff? Yes.

Oh, and then there was hunter who took an unexpected tumble in the middle of the field. No injuries, just a little extra dirt in the experience.

Night 2:

Don vs. the Mud Hole

Don was here to Hog Hunt. At some point during the night, he spotted a mud hole by accident and, made a full dive into it… This happens more than people think.

The results?

• One very muddy Don.

• One very dirty rifle.

• One hunter sitting in the van for the rest of the night.

Meanwhile, Zev put in the work, covering a lot of ground with his remaining Hog Hunters. They made a solid approach, but the Pigs got spooked before anything happened. Even though no Wild Pigs took a nap that night, the guys stayed chill, enjoying the challenge for what it was.

Final Tally:

A Hunt to Remember

Between Max stealing the action on Night 1, the long stalks, a surprise mud wrestling match, and plenty of miles covered, this two-Night Hunt was far from boring. And while Zev didn’t get the big numbers this time, the memories (and the mud) will definitely stick like Georgia Clay.

A Wild Night Hunt with Hog SWAT

Some nights, the Thermal Hunt comes easy. Other nights, the Pigs make you work for it. But at Hog SWAT, we don’t believe in giving up—and neither did this crew on a recent Hog Hunt led by Guide Hank.

From the start, it seemed like the Wild Pigs had disappeared. Hours passed, and despite scanning field after field with Thermal Equipment, nothing showed. The frustration was setting in, but we kept moving, covering ground, and staying ready. And then, just when all hope seemed lost—there he was.

Photo: Pig Hunt @HogSWAT

A Lone Hog popped up on the Thermal, moving through the field ahead of us. This wasn’t going to be an easy stalk. As we closed in, he spooked and bolted deeper into the field. We tracked him again, only for him to slip away. This cat-and-mouse game repeated itself, testing our patience and skill. Each time we got close, the Wild Hog would make another break for it.

But we don’t quit. Finally, after a careful, calculated approach, we got into position, and just like that—success.

This Wild Hog Hunt was a reminder of what makes Thermal Hog Hunting so thrilling. It’s not always easy, but perseverance pays off. At Hog SWAT, we Hunt hard, push through the challenges, and make every night in the field an adventure.

Sounder of 30 Wild Hogs

Thermal 3 Night Hog Hunt

Close Range Hog Hunting with Guide Zev

Hog Hunting is all about patience, skill, and taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Guide Zev recently led a Three-Night Hog Hunt that put his Hunters right in the middle of the action.

On one of the nights, the team found themselves inside 50 yards of a Massive Sounder—more than 30 hogs moving together through the fields. When the dust settled, there was success.

The last night, the team had another incredible opportunity.. The guys were great sports, but the long stalks had them a little out of breath. Sometimes, the excitement of the chase gets the best of even the most Seasoned Hunters! Though no Hogs photos were taken, the sheer number of Wild Pigs seen in one night was unbelievable.

Encounters like this are what make Thermal Hog Hunting so thrilling. Finding a Sounder that size is never guaranteed, and getting within range without getting busted takes experience and strategy. Though more hogs escaped into the night, the excitement of being that close and making successful moments for an Unforgettable Hunt.

Another great Hunting Trip in the books, and as always, the pigs won’t stay hidden for long. The next Hunt is just around the corner!

At Hog SWAT, we pride ourselves on delivering adrenaline-packed, Unforgettable Hog Hunting Experiences. This week was no exception, as Guide Hank led a 2-Night Hunting Trip that resulted in not only an Epic First-Time Hunt but also a double success story in the same field!

Night 1:

A First-Time Hunter’s Dream

Photo: Wild Boar Hunting @HogSWAT

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of your First Hunt, and this Father and Son Hunting Duo got to experience it firsthand. After scouting a couple of fields, we finally located a Wild Hog and quickly moved into position. The Hog made a short run into the field. This was no ordinary Pig—this was a beast of a Wild Boar, and an incredible first hunt to mark the beginning of what’s sure to be a lifelong passion for hunting. The Father-Son Hunting Team left the night with an experience they will never forget.

Night 2:

Back for More

Photo: Thermal Hog Hunts @HogSWAT

The second night brought another chance at success, and these Hunters did not disappoint. Returning to the same field as the night before, almost in the exact same location, they found another Piggy. Once again, patience and precision paid off. After searching for more pigs for a while, they decided to wrap up the night, satisfied with their hard-earned victories.

By the end of the Hunting Trip In Georgia, these Hog Hunters not only took home some great meat but also memories that will last a lifetime. It was another great success for Hog SWAT, proving once again why we are South Georgia’s Premier Thermal Hog Hunting Outfitter.

Hunt Recap:

Persistence Pays Off

Photo: Wild Hog Hunts @HogSWAT

Some nights, the Pigs make you work. Guide Hank led a Hog Hunt that started slow—almost feeling like a burn. The team covered ground, checked field after field, and refused to call it quits.

Then, near the end of the night, persistence paid off. One of the last fields they checked had Wild Pigs. The Hunters geared up and moved in, ready to stalk the group. But as they closed the distance, a Lone Boar broke off and unknowingly walked straight toward them. With no way to maneuver around him and still get to the Sounder, things had to be done. Success.

One Hog napping for the night, but in the world of Thermal Hog Hunting, any successful stalk is a win. Some nights, the pigs pile up. Other nights, it’s about adapting, making the most of the opportunity, and proving that giving up is never an option.

Not every Hog Hunt is about numbers—sometimes, it’s about precision. On a recent night out with Hog SWAT, guide Zev led a group of hunters who proved that patience and discipline can be just as rewarding.

They got into position on a Small Sounder, but they focused the White Hog. When the moment was right, there was success.

Later in the night, Zev attempted to stalk a pair of hogs, but they slipped into a low spot and disappeared into the terrain. Tracking Hogs proved difficult, and even guides have off moments.

But that’s the reality of Wild Hog Wild Hog Hunting you take what the land gives you. Either way, every Thermal Hunt is an adventure, and every hunt tells a story.

Precision in the Dark

Some Hunters are just built differently. That was the case on a recent Wild Hog Hunt led by Hog SWAT Guide Zev, where a group of Hog Hunters with deep Amish roots put their skills to the test. Their great-grandfather may have been kicked out of the Amish, but their discipline, patience, and natural Hunting Instincts were still evident.

Photo: As I Said Pro Hunters @HogSWAT

The team located a Solid Sounder that night, and the Hunters did amazing. They remained quiet and stealthy, moving with discipline even as the Thermal Equipment lit up the night like broad daylight. When the moment came, they wasted no time—4 pigs on the spot and touching at least six. Most hunters struggle to get more than two from a Sounder, but these guys handled it like professionals.

This is the kind of Hog Hunt that defines Hog SWAT—challenging, fast-paced, and rewarding. Watching hunters rise to the occasion, under pressure, and prove their skills is what makes Thermal Hog Hunting an experience like no other.

Thermal Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT:

Two Nights, Three Hogs Down

Photo: Thermal Hunting @HogSWAT

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.

Two Nights in the Field:

A Hog Hunt with Zev

Hunting Wild Hogs at night is about patience, awareness, and learning how to move through the dark without giving yourself away. Guide Zev recently took a group of 3 Hunters out for a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the first night tested their persistence, the second night proved to be a lesson in both skill and success.

Night 1:

Tough Luck and Coyotes

The first night out, the Hogs were nowhere to be found. That’s the reality of Hog Hunting—some nights they’re out in force, and other nights they vanish like ghosts. To break up the slow night, we tried to set up on two separate Coyotes. But let’s just say… things didn’t go as planned. Between movement, positioning, and the learning curve of Night Hunting, things happen not how we planned.

Night 2:

Pigs Down and Lessons Learned

Photo: Hog Down @HogSWAT

Photo: Sleepy Piggy @HogSWAT

With the frustration of night one behind them, the guys came back determined. It paid off early when we saw a Lone Pig, and success. But the real action came later in the night when we spotted a Sounder. This time, we moved better, stalked quieter, and moved without getting caught by Wild Hogs. When the moment came, they connected—one Pig Down from the group.

We did lots of walking. Moving through open fields during night isn’t the same as walking through the fields during the day. Every step has to be intentional, every movement controlled. By night two, they had it figured out.

In the end, two Wild Pigs took a nap, and these Hog Hunters walked away with more than just harvest—they left with a deeper understanding of the Thermal Hunt. And next time, those Coyotes might not be so lucky.

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.
