Hunting Wild Hogs At Night

Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT

Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t always easy — and this 1-night Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton is the perfect reminder of how smart and unpredictable wild hogs can be.

Midnight Encounter With a Group of Three

Around midnight, Clayton and the hunters located a group of three hogs feeding across an open field. The team made their approach and got into position, but the hogs slipped off the field before the group could make solid connections.

It’s moments like this that show exactly why wild hogs are considered some of the toughest animals in the South. They don’t play by the rules.

Second Opportunity at 3:30 AM

Later in the night, around 3:30 AM, Clayton found another group. The conditions were challenging — the wind kept switching directions, making it difficult to keep from getting winded.

As soon as the hogs caught even the slightest scent, the entire group shifted and moved out fast. Wind is one of the biggest factors in Thermal Hog Hunting, and on this night, it worked against us.

A Tough Night — and a Realistic Look at Hog Hunting

People often think Hog Hunting is easy because of how many hogs are in Georgia. But nights like this show the truth:

• Hogs are extremely smart

• They have incredible noses

• Their skin and bodies are tough

• They react instantly to pressure, scent, or sound

When you Hunt Hogs, you gain a whole new respect for just how sharp and adaptable they are.

Even without a big outcome, this 1-night Wild Hog Hunt with Clayton was a great example of real, unscripted Georgia Hog Hunting — where every field teaches you something new.

When you’re Hunting farmland in South Georgia, every field has its own personality — and this group brought plenty of energy to the night. Daniel, our drone pilot, located a Sounder on a field, setting the stage for quick action right out of the gate.

Locating Hogs With the Drone

With the drone up, Daniel spotted a Group of Hogs working through the field. As soon as the hunters moved in, excitement took over. Let’s just say they were ready to go — even if it meant crunching every corn stalk under their boots on the way in.

Because the hogs were already alert from the noise, the team had to take their positions sooner than planned, resulting in longer-distance than we typically prefer.

Connecting With the Hogs

Despite the challenging approach, the group still managed to connect with two hogs, and one of them disappeared into the crop rows. With thick cover and broken stalks everywhere, it was tough to track from the ground alone.

That’s when Daniel stepped up again.

Drone Recovery Success

Our Thermal Drone pilot lifted off, scanned the area, and located the hog quickly — a perfect example of why having aerial thermal support is such a game-changer on these Wild Hog Hunts. The drone allows us to confirm recoveries fast and efficiently, even in corn field conditions.

A Solid Night for a 1-Night Hunt

Between locating hogs early, navigating a rowdy approach, and using the drone to secure a recovery, this 1-Night Hog Hunt delivered plenty of excitement and a strong result for the group.

Another good night in South Georgia with Hog SWAT.

Hunting Under The Northern Lights

Some nights remind us exactly why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is one of the most unpredictable, exciting experiences you can have outdoors — and last night proved it.

While Guide Max and the team were out training new guides and scanning for coyotes, the sky put on a show no one expected: the Northern Lights Glowing over South Georgia. A rare sight that set the tone for a night full of surprises.

Not long after, a pig stepped out right in front of a coyote we were watching. We immediately called Guide Zev to take over the stalk. He rushed to the field and got set up, but the pig slipped away before he arrived.

A little later, while we were still calling, a Massive Lone Boar emerged. We kept eyes on it and called Zev again. He pulled in quickly — but just as he reached the field, the Boar dipped into a low spot and vanished. Even with Thermals Scanning and Max checking the pivot for elevation, the boar disappeared into the terrain like a shadow.

After a third careful stalk that ended the same way, it was clear:
Some nights, the pigs win.

That’s the reality of Hog Hunting. These animals are sharp, fast, and use every bit of ground to their advantage. It’s not easy — and it’s never guaranteed — but that challenge is what makes Hog SWAT Wild Hog Hunts real. We don’t sit in stands or hunt over bait. We stalk, scan, and adapt in real time.

And even on a night where the pigs stayed one step ahead, the combination of Northern Lights overhead and the excitement of each stalk made it a night worth remembering.

At Hog SWAT, it’s not just about the outcome — it’s about the adventure, the teamwork, the chase, and the rare moments you only see when you’re out there under the South Georgia sky.

Hunting isn't Easy

Every hunter knows the truth — no hunt is guaranteed. And that’s what keeps Hog Hunting in Georgia so real.

On this hunt, Guide Hank covered miles of farmland, scanning and stalking through the night. Conditions were good, but the pigs just weren’t cooperating. At one point, a pig was caught on thermal drone over on 34, but it only stayed in the field for about 20 minutes before disappearing into the dark. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.

The hunters were great — patient, understanding, and appreciative of the work that went into the night. Even without a pig re-homed, they got to experience what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is really like: unpredictable, exciting, and 100% real.

If we sat over bait or waited in stands, sure, it would be easier. But that’s not how Hog SWAT Wild Hog Hunts. We move, we stalk, and we earn every opportunity. That’s what makes the success nights feel so good — because life isn’t easy, and neither is Hunting.

Every Boar Hunt teaches something new, and that’s why we love it. Whether it’s a night full of pigs or one that tests your patience, Hog Hunting is always an adventure worth taking.

At Hog SWAT, we’ll keep doing what we do best — guiding real hunters through real fields in pursuit of Wild Hogs under the Georgia night sky.

Sounders Everywhere – A Wild Night in South Georgia

Night two of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT was packed with nonstop action from start to finish.

Right out of the gate, Guide Zev and his hunters pulled into their first field and spotted a sounder of 15–20 pigs feeding under the half-moon sky. Within moments, they were set up and ready to go. Everything rang out, and six pigs sleeping before the rest scattered into the dark.

The next stop brought even more excitement. On Dreamland, the crew spotted another massive sounder of around 30 hogs. Zev let Guide Hank and his group take that one, and then it was on to the next field.

At HP land, they found yet another group of hogs — this time the corn was tall and visibility was tough, but they still managed to get two before one made it back into the trees. It was a true test of skill and timing in thick cover.

That’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so addictive — you never know what you’ll find or how the night will unfold. Every field, every stalk, every chance brings a new challenge and a new story.

At Hog SWAT, our Guided Thermal Hog Hunts take you through real working farmland where wild hogs roam free. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we move, stalk, and hunt. With the latest thermal technology, our guides bring you face-to-face with the wild side of Georgia Hog Hunting.

Another successful night in the books for Zev and his hunters — sounders located, lead out, and more sleepy pigs on the ground. That’s Hog SWAT.

Guided Hog Hunts In Georgia

Night one of this two-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with fast action and great company.

Guide Zev and his hunters set up on a Sounder of Wild Hogs near the Half Moon field by the tanks — a spot known for steady pig movement through the fall. Once the group got in range, the thermals lit up with heat signatures, and the Hog Hunt was on. Everything rang out, and several pigs were re-homed, with two recovered in the field before the rest made it into the trees.

That’s how it goes with Thermal Hog Hunting — quick decisions, unpredictable movement, and the excitement of real-time action under the night sky. The hunters handled it like pros, and the camaraderie made the night even better.

At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. We don’t sit and wait — we stalk, spot, and engage. Using the latest thermal, we track wild hogs across South Georgia farmland, helping landowners manage populations while giving hunters a true adrenaline-filled experience.

Boar Hunting In Georgia

Photo: Hunting Hogs In Georgia @HogSWAT

Boar Hunting in Georgia isn’t always easy — some nights test your patience, your timing, and your ability to adapt. But that’s what makes Thermal Hog Hunting so rewarding.

On this hunt, Guide Capt. Max led his hunters through a quiet South Georgia night that started slow. After several fields with little movement, they finally spotted a Sounder of Wild Hogs feeding among the tall corn stalks. Everything was lining up until the wind shifted — and the group scattered.

But one Lone Boar made the mistake of staying behind. With the Thermal locked in, the hunters lined up for the perfect chance —
Bam! Pow! Pow! Pow! — the boar sleeping.

That’s what Hog SWAT hunts are all about — patience, teamwork, and the adrenaline rush that comes when all the pieces fall into place. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and every stalk teaches something new about how these powerful animals move through Georgia farmland.

At Hog SWAT, we specialize in Guided Thermal Hog Hunts across South Georgia, using state-of-the-art thermal to track and manage Feral Hog Populations. Wild Hogs cause millions in crop damage each year, and our Hog Hunts help control their numbers while giving hunters an unforgettable experience in the process.

If you’re ready to experience the challenge of Boar Hunting in Georgia, Hog SWAT delivers — real guides, real Hunts, and real results.

No Easy Hunts

Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t for everyone — it takes grit, patience, and a good pair of boots. On night two of this Guided Hog Hunt, Guide Zev led his hunters deep into the darkness once again, searching for Wild Pigs across the open fields and backroads of South Georgia.

They found plenty of pigs throughout the night, but that’s where the challenge begins. Hog Hunting after dark is all about reading the wind, staying quiet, and getting close enough to make it count — all while moving in total darkness guided only by thermal that the guide has.

Every stalk tests your focus. Every step matters. There are nights where you walk miles, guideds scanning with the thermal, knowing the pigs are out there — but getting in range takes time, patience, and persistence.

Even without a chance to setup, the experience is unforgettable. Watching a Sounder of Wild Hogs drift through the fields, the hum of the thermal, and the stillness of the Georgia night — that’s what keeps hunters coming back.

At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Our Guided Hog Hunts take you deep into wild country to experience the real side of Georgia Hog Hunting — challenging, unpredictable, and always exciting.

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 get 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.

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 chance. 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.

Birthday Hunting Trip

There’s no better way to celebrate a birthday than chasing Wild Hogs in Georgia!

Guide Capt. Clayton led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, GA, where the crew came down to celebrate Austin’s 34th birthday. The night kicked off strong — in the very first field, they spotted pigs and made quick work of it. Two bangs later, one hog sleeping forever before midnight.

Things slowed down after that, but not for lack of effort. Around 2 AM, the team spotted two more pigs in another field, only for a pack of coyotes to start howling and push the pigs deep into the trees before they could line up another chance.

Even with the slow stretch, the guys had an awesome night celebrating, Hunting, and making memories that will last far longer than the birthday cake.

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, come celebrate your next big day with Hog SWAT — where the lights go out, the thermal light up, and the action never gets old.

Guide Hank wrapped up the second night of this two-night Hog SWAT Hunt in Americus, Georgia with another solid success!

It was a long night of riding through the fields, scanning with thermals, and catching sight after sight of deer — but no Wild Hogs in range. Persistence pays off, though. Around 4 AM, the team finally spotted a Big Sow feeding alone in a peanut field.

With the bright moonlight backlighting their position, Hank and the hunters moved carefully to avoid spooking her. Once they lined up from about 200 yards out, they made it count. One clean placement, one Big Pig forever sleeping — great success.

This Wild Hog Hunt is a perfect example of what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about: patience, precision, and persistence. You never know when the next field, or the next hour, will turn into the moment you’ve been waiting for.

The first night of this 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Hank in Americus, Georgia was a success from start to finish. The hunters were determined to get some Wild Hogs in South Georgia — and they did just that.

The night started with a single hog sighting out in the distance. As the hunters geared up and lined up their chance, the pig slipped back into the treeline — a classic move for these smart, nocturnal animals. But the Hog Hunt was far from over.

After covering a few more fields, the crew spotted a sounder of pigs right near the entrance of a field. Moving quickly, they grabbed the thermals, geared up, and got set just in time. Within seconds, both hunters made clean attempts, getting two hogs before the rest of the group scattered.

It was another great night of Boar Hunting in Georgia, with calm winds, good visibility, and a team that worked together perfectly. Two hunters, two hogs — great success.

Father-Daughter Duo and a Close Call for the Dawgs 🐗❤️

It was another great night of Hog Hunting in Americus Georgia with Guide Zev leading the way for this Father-Daughter Hunting Duo! After getting five pigs on night one, the crew wasn’t done yet — they were back for round two and ended the hunt with one Big Pig sleeping.

Meanwhile, Georgia fans were holding their breath as the Dawgs faced Auburn, trailing until the fourth quarter. We didn’t score until the third — it was way too close for comfort. But just like the Dawgs pulled through with a 20–10 win, this Father-Daughter Hunting Team stuck it out and made it happen under the stars.

There’s nothing better than seeing Families Hunting together and making memories that’ll last forever. Whether it’s college football Saturdays or late-night stalks in the fields, South Georgia keeps you on your toes.

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 got 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.

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

Guide Zev recently led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt for Hog SWAT, and it turned into one of those short, sweet, and memorable nights in the field. The group spent the first part of the night scanning plenty of deer through the thermal, waiting for the right opportunity.

Eventually, a hog made an appearance — and that’s when things got exciting. There’s nothing quite like watching a sounder or a single hog light up on thermal in the middle of the night. Every detail, from their movement to the heat signature in the grass, brings a whole new level of adrenaline to Night Hog Hunting.

That’s what makes Boar Hunting in Georgia so unique. Even on a short trip, every field holds surprises, and every Wild Hog Hunt offers something different. The experience itself — the teamwork, the gear, and the thrill of spotting pigs under thermal — is what keeps hunters coming back year after year.

No Gaurentee In Hunting

Not every night in the field ends with Wild Hogs on the ground, but every Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT is an adventure worth remembering.

Photo: Range Time @HogSWAT

Before heading out, the group spent time on the range — an important part of every Guided Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia. This is where hunters get familiar with the fun things that go bang, practice with thermal, and review safety. Range time ensures that when the moment comes, hunters are confident and ready.

Guide Zev led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia. While a large sounder of nine hogs showed up, they were across the boundary line on neighboring property where we couldn’t pursue. Even without the opportunity to move in, the night still had plenty of highlights.

Photo: Thermal Hog Hunting @HogSWAT

Out in the field, the Hog Hunt offered its own rewards. The South Georgia night sky, the farmland terrain, and the anticipation of seeing hogs kept the energy high. Hunting Wild Hogs isn’t always about immediate results — it’s about the pursuit, the camaraderie, and protecting farms when the chance presents itself.

As Zev put it, “The dudes were cool, I had fun.” That’s the spirit behind every Hog SWAT Hog Hunt. Each outing is unique, and while some nights end with hogs sleeping, others remind us why this work is so important — keeping destructive wild hogs in check while delivering an Unforgettable Hunting experience.

If you’re looking for the Ultimate Hog Hunting Adventure that combines adrenaline, advanced thermal technology, and farmland protection, book your South Georgia Boar Hunt with Hog SWAT and see why hunters from all over the country keep coming back.

Georgia Hog Hunting

Photo: Hunting Hogs At Night @HogSWAT

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.

South Georgia Hog Hunt

Night one of the two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia was full of action and long stalks. Early in the evening, deer were moving heavy, but the Wild Hogs didn’t make their appearance until later. Around 2:30 a.m., the hunters finally spotted the first pig. This hog gave them a real challenge, staying just out of range and eventually slipping into the treeline after nearly 45 minutes of pursuit.

By 4:30 a.m., another hog appeared, and they made a long stalk. Just as they got into position, the hog disappeared into the woods without offering a shot. Moments like that are what make Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia so unpredictable—you never know if it’ll be easy or if you’ll have to work for every opportunity.

Determined not to give up, Guide Kaleb took the hunters to a field that’s produced pigs right around daybreak before. Sure enough, history repeated itself. At 5:30 a.m., they located a Sounder of Hogs feeding in the field. Using Thermal, we closed the distance, made the stalk, and got one hog clean in the field. Another made it to the trees, but it crossed onto neighboring property where recovery wasn’t possible.

This South Georgia Hog Hunt proved why persistence pays off. Whether chasing single Boars or stalking into a Sounder, every Hog Hunt is a new memory. Guided Thermal Hunts with Hog SWAT are more than just Hunting—they’re about the challenge, the chase, and helping landowners with Feral Hog Control.
