Last night, Guide Capt Ben led a 1 Night Hog Hunt for the Hog SWAT team that was filled with unexpected twists and turns. As they set out into the rugged terrain, the team found themselves driving around in circles, trying to track down the elusive wild hogs. The frustration was mounting as they seemed to be going in circles and coming up empty-handed.

But just when it seemed like luck was not on their side, the Pig Gods must have taken pity on them. Suddenly, a Group of Pigs popped out from the bushes, catching the team by surprise. With adrenaline pumping, they quickly got into position and took their shots. Despite the initial struggles, the team managed to drop 4 out of the 10 Hogs they shot at, a decent success rate for the night.

Guide Capt Ben's expertise and determination had paid off once again, leading the team to a Successful Hunt despite the initial setbacks. It was a night filled with excitement, challenges, and ultimately, triumph. The Hog SWAT team had proven once again that with perseverance and a bit of luck, they could overcome any obstacle in their path.

During a Hog Hunt led by Guide Capt Ben, a group of Hunters embarked on a new adventure of Thermal Hunting in South Georgia with Hog SWAT. Reflecting on the Hunt, Guide Capt Ben shared, "We had to grind for these Pigs."

Their first Stalk was interrupted by some Deer, startling the Hogs. The second Pig they encountered dashed across the field, proving to be a challenge. However, at 4:50, the group finally had a successful run. They embarked on a 1200-yard Stalk through waist-high Winter Wheat, ultimately taking a shot on four and dropping two Wild Hogs.

It was a night of perseverance and determination for Guide Capt Ben and his team, showcasing their skills in navigating the challenges of Hunting in South Georgia. The memorable experience will surely be cherished by the Hunters, who embraced the Thrill of the Hunt under Guide Capt Ben's guidance.

On the first night of Hog Hunting in March for Hog SWAT, Guide Hank led a group of four Hunters on a Successful Hunt. They had a good time and were able to head home early.

Early in the night, they were able to bring down a nice Boar, the only one they encountered. As the night progressed, the Hunters decided to call it quits early as they needed to leave early in the morning. Despite only spotting one Hog, it was a night of great success for the group. Here's to many more successful Hunts with Guide Hank leading the way for the Hog SWAT Team.

Guide Hank didn't see a single Pig until 4am. Due to the full moon, when he spotted a Lone Boar sitting in a field, he didn't want to chance it running away upon noticing them. Crouching down and Army Crawling within 60 yards of the Hog, the Hunters were able to drop it with 2 bullets. The Boar had some very nice Boar Tusks, making it another Successful Hunt for Guide Hank.

Night 1:

Guide Hank of Hog SWAT had an eventful night with the Hunting Party. In the first field, they successfully Stalked a Pig positioned in a high spot. After the shot was fired, the Pig managed to just make it past a hill, disappearing from view. Uncertain of the outcome, the group ventured over the hill to discover the Dead Hog lying in the field. Impressed by its nice tusks, the Hunters decided to claim it as a trophy.

Moving on to a different field, Guide Hank and the group Tracked Two Wild Hogs. Despite their efforts, the Wild Pigs proved to be restless and elusive, never presenting a clear shot opportunity. The Elusive Pigs managed to evade capture that time, merely postponing their inevitable fate.

Overall, it was a fun night of Hunting for Guide Hank and the party. Looking ahead, they anticipated that the following night would be just as exciting and fruitful.

Night 2:

On the second night of the Hunting excursion with Guide Hank and the Hunting Group, they encountered the challenges and excitement of Hunting on a vast property. With its sheer size, the property offered a multitude of hiding spots for the Elusive Hogs, making the Hunt a Thrilling Adventure in itself.

Around midnight, the group spotted a Pig and swiftly took action, firing off shots as they initiated the countdown. Despite their efforts, the Hog managed to elude them, slipping away into the darkness. Nonetheless, their spirits remained high as they continued their Hunt.

Later in the night, the team stumbled upon a staggering scene of nearly 30 Pigs congregating together. As they cautiously approached, the moonlight revealed their presence, causing the Wild Pigs to scatter from the field one by one. Only 4 Pigs Remained, undisturbed by their approach.

In a strategic move, the Hunters positioned themselves for a successful takedown as one of the Pigs began to advance towards them. With precision and skill, each Hunter took a shot, resulting in the immediate drop of the targeted pig. The night culminated in this victorious moment, marking a successful conclusion to the Hunting Expedition for Guide Hank and the group.

Fun Hog Hunts

The Hunting Guide, known as Guide Hank, had a fantastic time with this Hunting Party. Throughout the night, the group was engaged in playful banter and joking around, creating a lively atmosphere. Despite initially not spotting any Hogs, the group eventually located some Pigs and executed a flawless Stalk, getting within about 70 yards under the illuminated night sky.

The Hunters skillfully took down their targets, with the Wild Pigs displaying a unique dance before succumbing to the shots. By the end of the night, two pigs had been successfully harvested. While waiting for another pig to emerge on a different property, unexpected gunshots startled the group, causing the remaining pig to retreat quickly into the cover of the woods.

Although they didn't encounter any more Wild Hogs that night, the overall outcome was deemed a great success. A word of caution was shared by Guide Hank, mentioning that falling asleep in the Hunting Van could result in getting a surprise sharpie doodle on one's face, a lighthearted reminder of the camaraderie and fun shared during the Hog Hunt.

The Jersey Devil's Take On Wild Hogs

Photo Night 2: Don’t Make A Deal With The Jersey Devils @HogSWAT

Guide Hank said these Jersey devils were hungry for Hog Meat so they took a Hunting Trip to Georgia where they could slay some Hogs with us. The first field they pulled into was empty, so they moved on to the next field where they found a Solo Hog and were able to take it down. The next few fields they checked were also empty, but on their last stop of the night they circled back to the first field they had looked at and found a Sounder of 20+ Pigs.

It wasn't a question of whether there were Pigs in a field, but rather when they would show up. The group Stalked the Pigs as they moved through the field, getting closer as they grew more comfortable. However, one of the Wild Pigs started approaching them, causing the rest of the Sounder to follow. The Jersey devils quickly set up their gear and were able to take down 3 Pigs before the others ran off the field.

Jersey Devils seem to have gotten their fill on Bacon because they only got one Piggy on night 2. Running around all night looking for the Wild Pigs with one briefly spotted before it disappeared. Word must’ve got out that the devils were in town because they were all hiding. At 3am a sharp Hog was spotted so we pulled out a death warrant and had the Wild Hog sign it in exchange for some peanuts. Naturally the hog got shot and died. Didn’t anyone teach that pig you don’t make deals with the devil?

2 PIG PILES 1 NIGHT

Guide Hank had some lethal company tonight. The first field they pulled into had Pigs and heavy rain. They shot and killed 6 Wild Pigs, with some on the run. Hank thought what they did was pretty awesome, so they decided to do it again. The second field they entered had a Sounder at the tree line. Approaching the Hogs with perfect wind, the group showed Hank that 6 wasn't just a fluke because they did it again, killing 6 more for a total of 12 Wild Hogs! These guys know how to have a good time and shoot with accuracy.

They checked several more fields to try and add to the number, but Guide Hank thinks the Hogs could sense these guys were nearby and made sure to stay clear of the Lethal Shooters. It was a great night of Hunting with these guys.

It was a crazy and successful night with Jim and Roger. It started off with some unforeseeable minor issues when they were picked up, which led to them using a nearby field as a range to save time. After finishing the range sequence, a Sounder of Pigs was spotted just 6-700 yards out. They immediately started Hunting and only managed to kill one Pig due to a pivot behind it preventing further shots.

In the third field they checked, they found 5 Wild Hogs, but gunshots from a neighboring field scared them off. The Hogs had moved to another field behind the one they were on. Upon driving over to the other field, they found the Wild Pigs hiding in a low spot and managed to kill 2 Big Boars and injured a third that escaped into the woods.

The sixth and final field they pulled into was teeming with deer, over 100 of them. Upon closer inspection, they noticed 2 Wild Pigs mixed in with the deer. As they approached the Pigs, a deer started blowing at them, alerting the Pigs and causing them to move further away. After following the Hogs for about 100 yards, Jim and Roger took their shots and successfully killed both Wild Hogs, the two biggest of the night weighing over 200lbs each.

After taking some pictures, they encountered another minor issue but that didn't deter them. They eventually made it back home with a total of 5 pigs, despite the setbacks at the beginning and end of the hunt. We hope it was night of Hog Hunting that Jim and Roger will never forget.

2nd night started off slow. They found some Pigs but got screwed by the terrain and wind. That didn’t stop them because they kept looking until they snuck up on a group of Juvenile Pigs. They killed 4, and one of them was from Tyler with a ~300 Yard Snipe from a Hog on the run! It was already around 3am when they finished up. The last field they checked held a Sounder where the guys dropped 5 Wild Hogs. After Butchering and walking off the field I spotted a Solo Pig begging to be shot so we took a detour on the way to the Hunting Van and killed the last Wild Pig of the night topping the group off at a nice even 10 Pigs making it double digits!

On the second night of their Hog Hunt, they started off hot and found 6 Pigs in their second choice field. After a short Stalk down the access road, they set up and dropped 4. After Butchering the Hogs, they drove around looking for more but unfortunately, some things that start with a bang end with a whimper.

Freaking Hog Snipers!

The first field held a couple of nice-sized Boars. The Stalk was muddy and wet, but fortunately, the rain had given way. They closed to about 60 yards when we set up and fired a volley. Nailed ‘em! That was the easy part. Afterward, they dragged our pigs about 400 yards through the mud until they could finally hitch them to the Hog Van and get them to the Hog dump. Then proceeded onto a few more fields and didn’t find much luck. Eventually, at a large peanut field, they found 6 Smaller Pigs; however, the wind switched up on them and they got spooked. They headed down the road a bit and immediately saw about 20 Wild Pigs in a Large Sounder. As they got close, it became apparent that there were more like 50+ Hogs in a Mega Sounder! These Pigs had no idea what was coming, and we fed them lead. After the dust settled, our Hunters got exactly what they wanted: 8 Suckling Pigs for a total of 10 downed throughout the night!

Hunting Wild Hogs

They struggled to find Pigs the first 4 hours of the Hunt, checking multiple fields. They finally pulled into a field where they spotted 2 Hogs. They started walking towards the Wild Hogs and found a Sounder past a high spot. They were able to maneuver around the other Wild Pigs and get close enough to shoot at the group. The guys killed 3 pigs! On the way off the field there was another pig minding his own business so they dropped the bags of meat they just butchered, and walked right up to the Solo Pig and took it down with the cadence shot. They totaled 4 pigs for the night!

These guys took down 4 Pigs and a Coyote. These 4 guys can crack jokes all night and still Slay Wild Hogs. They didn’t see any Wild Pigs on the 2nd field we checked, but had the opportunity to shoot a coyote, and they nailed him. Found a Sounder on the second field 4th field they checked. They set up and was able to take down 2 Wild Hogs. After that they dropped in on a nearby field, and snuck right up on a nice sized Solo Boar and ended him with the first shot. After they dragged the Wild Boar off the field they circled back and checked the same field they took down the first 2, and there were more pigs in the same spot! They pulled in once more to shoot a ton of Hogs but were only able to secure one more. I’m sure others died shortly after in the tree line. They have more slaughtering to do tomorrow night!

Wow, these guys are truly Skilled Hog Hunters! Despite a long drive past Albany, their second night of Hunting was just as successful as the first. The first field they arrived at had approximately a dozen Pigs, and they were able to take down 2 Large Boars. Moving on to a nearby field, they encountered around 20 Wild Hogs and successfully took down 3 Piglets. It was a thrilling experience for everyone involved, and the group managed to bag a total of 15 Wild Hogs in just 2 nights. These Hunters clearly know what they're doing, and it sounds like a fantastic time was had by all!

Hog Snipers | 200 Yard Shot

James and Gabriel are highly skilled and certified Hog Snipers, and their expertise was on full display during their Hog Hunt. Taking advantage of the bright moon behind them, they managed to sneak up on a Wild Pig and successfully shot it from a remarkable distance of over 200 yards. Their precise aim resulted in an immediate kill, dropping the Pig right in its tracks.

Unfortunately, they faced some challenges in locating more Hogs afterward. They did, however, have the opportunity to take shots at a fast-moving Coyote, though it was difficult to confirm a kill due to its speed. Shortly after, they encountered another Hog that managed to escape into the brush before James and Gabriel could take it down. However, there is no doubt that if the Wild Hog had stayed still, they would have shot it with precision.

In the end, they celebrated the one remarkable Long-Range Kill achieved by James and Gabriel. Guide Luke expressed his enthusiasm for Hunting with them, describing it as an awesome night, and hopes to have the opportunity to guide their Hunt again in the future. They also purchased their Hog Hunting Video, we can’t wait to see that incredable shot.
