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 shot fired, 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 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.

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.
