Last night, Hog Swat Guide Zev led a group of Hunters on a crazy 1 Night Hog Hunt, filled with unexpected twists and memorable moments. What was expected to be a routine outing soon transformed into an experience none of them will forget. Here’s a recap of the Hunting Adventure.

It Was Very White Last Night...

As they embarked on their Wild Hog Hunt, Zev noted, "It was very white tonight." Under typical circumstances, that would have been a good thing, indicating excellent visibility. However, the bright, snow-covered landscape presented challenges that made stealth nearly impossible. The team found themselves constantly scaring away Pigs as they attempted to navigate the shining terrain.

A Moment of Success

Despite the difficulties posed by the bright snow, the group remained determined. After several attempts and adapting their strategy, they finally secured a shot on a Large Boar. The excitement was palpable as the Hog Hunters celebrated this success, proving that perseverance pays off even in challenging conditions.

The night was not only about the Hog Hunt itself; it also brought laughter and camaraderie. In a light-hearted moment, one excited hunter decided to make a snow angel right in the midst of their adventure. This spontaneous act captured the joyful spirit of the night and provided a memorable image that everyone in the group will cherish.

Among the hunters was a police officer from Anchorage, Alaska. Zev was tempted to share his "review" of jails in Alaska—an amusing thought, to say the least—but he wisely refrained from doing so, recognizing that it would be less than professional.

A Night of Thrills and Unexpected Encounters

Last night was nothing short of exhilarating as Guide Hank took a Solo Hunter into the South Georgia Fields for an unforgettable night of Hog Hunting In Georgia. With the moon shining bright and adrenaline running high, the duo set out for a Hunting Adventure that they wouldn't soon forget.

The evening kicked off with a strategic stalk along the treeline, each step a careful dance of patience and focus. It wasn’t long before they spotted their target: a robust Wild Boar. With a steady hand and keen eye, the Hog Hunter took the first moment, but the Boar—fueled by instinct and perhaps a touch of stubbornness—charged straight toward them.

At a heart-pounding distance of about 40 yards, the tension was palpable. Hank quickly guided the Boar Hunter, and with a second moment, the Wild Boar was successfully stopped, peacefully putting him up. It was a great success for the night, showcasing both skill and collaboration in the field.

But the adventures didn’t end there! As they made their way back, the night took another unexpected turn. They stumbled upon a couple of Runaway Cows that had somehow strayed from their herd. While the Cows were not part of the night’s Hunting Plans, they added a delightful twist to the evening.

It’s encounters like these that make each Hog Hunting Trip unique and memorable. Whether it’s bringing home a Prize Boar or sharing a laugh over unexpected wildlife, nights like this remind us of the unpredictable nature of The Great Outdoors.

Join us for future Boar Hunts with Hog SWAT, where the thrill of the chase is always accompanied by a few surprises. Until next time, happy hunting!

Hog SWAT's Night Out with Guide Max

This last night, Hog SWAT had the pleasure of hosting a 1 Night Hog Hunt guided by Capt. Max. This group traveled to the heart of South Georgia to experience the thrill of Thermal Hunting for Wild Hogs. Armed with anticipation and eagerly looking forward to a night under the stars, they set out for an adventure!

A Slow Night on the Hunt

While the excitement was palpable, they quickly learned that Mother Nature had other plans. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a super slow Hog Hunting night, leaving this group with a mix of patience and determination. The Pigs seemed to have taken the night off, as sightings were sparse, and the typical chaos of a lively Sounder was notably absent.

But as any Seasoned Hunter knows, it's not always about the catch; sometimes, it’s about the experience. And this group was nothing short of fantastic. With fathers, uncles, and sons sharing in the Hog Hunt, the camaraderie and laughter echoed through the evening. Even in the quiet moments, the bonds formed and stories shared created memories that will last far longer than any Hunt.

A Successful Drop

Despite the slow action, we are thrilled to share that our group managed to drop a stunning Wild Boar (check out the impressive photo in this post!). The excitement was electric as they guided their shot with laser focus, demonstrating just how dialed-in they were. This was a testament to their skill as Hog Hunters, despite the limited opportunities throughout the night.

Looking Ahead

While we would have loved to have seen a full Sounder of Hogs come through, there's always a next time! We sincerely hope this enthusiastic group returns when the Wild Pigs are moving. Imagine the thrill of a night filled with action, surrounded by family and friends, as the sounds of a bustling Sounder echoes across the fields. We would be more than excited to be a part of their next Hunting Trip, capturing the excitement and bringing home more memories (and perhaps more hogs)!

In Conclusion

At Hog SWAT, we understand that Hunting is more than just the hunt; it’s about time spent with family, building skills, and enjoying The Great Outdoors. While last night may have been slow, it was filled with laughter, learning, and an unbreakable spirit. Thank you to this group for a wonderful evening, and we eagerly await your return for more Hunting Adventures in the future!

Stay tuned for more Hunting Stories, tips, and updates from Hog SWAT. And remember: when the hogs are moving, you want to be right there in the action with us!

Until next time, happy hunting!

Guide Hank led a Memorable Hunt for Hog SWAT, marking a special occasion for a grandfather and grandson duo. The pair, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, were on their first Hog Hunt together. Guide Hank's expert guidance ensured that this experience would be one to cherish.

After a patient wait, the group finally got on a group of Pigs around 3:30 am, marking a significant breakthrough in the Hunt. With precision and skill, they secured their first Wild Hog, making it a momentous occasion for both Grandpa and grandson. The successful kill was a testament to their determination and teamwork.

Guide Hank's post-hunt summary reflects his enthusiasm and satisfaction with the outcome: "It was a great success as usual!" This sentiment echoes the sense of accomplishment and joy shared by the grandfather and grandson duo.

As they walked away from the hunt with their prize, Grandpa and grandson couldn't help but feel proud of their accomplishment. This experience not only strengthened their bond but also created lifelong memories.

1 Night Boar Hunts

Guide Hank recently led a Wild Hog Hunt for Hog SWAT, where the group encountered some challenges but ultimately achieved success. Hank recalls spotting Pigs on the second field, only for them to quickly disappear into tall brush, making it difficult to track their movements. Undeterred, the group pressed on and ventured further into the field, but unfortunately, they did not come across any more Wild Pigs.

As the group was preparing to leave the field, the Hogs unexpectedly reappeared, giving them another chance to make a move. Hank and the Hunters swiftly approached the Wild Hog, taking their shot and successfully bringing down a good Boar. The group was thrilled with their kill, especially as they were able to take home a prized skull from the Hunt.

Although they only managed to get one Pig that night, the Hog Hunt was still considered a great success by Guide Hank and the rest of the group. The thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of a successful kill made the Boar Hunt an unforgettable experience for all involved. It was a night of perseverance and reward, showcasing the skills and determination of the Hog Hunters led by Guide Hank.

The second night began with the group spotting a Solo Boar on the second field they visited. Despite getting a shot off, the Wild Boar was elusive and slipped away into the tall grass. However, their luck turned around later in the night when they encountered a Massive Boar weighing over 250 lbs. The Hunters successfully took down the Trophy Boar, choosing to preserve its head for a euro mount.

Guide Hank was delighted with the outcome of both nights, as the group experienced Thrilling Hunts and secured valuable trophies. Reflecting on the successful 2-Night Hunting Adventure, Hank looked forward to leading more Exciting Hunts in the future at Hog Swat.

With precision and teamwork, they managed to harvest three big boars from the same group. The bounty was generous, providing a substantial amount of meat and marking the night as a triumphant outing. The excitement was palpable as each member of the party contributed to the successful hunt. It's experiences like these that make hunting with Guide Capt. Ben unforgettable.

Guide Hank led a 2 Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT. On the first night, the team celebrated a successful Hog Hunt, taking down three Pigs with three Hunters. They encountered a challenging first field, thick with overgrown weeds where Wild Pigs concealed themselves. Nevertheless, the skilled group claimed their first kill in the subsequent field. Amidst their stealthy approach to a Small Group of Hogs, a dense fog provided the perfect cover, allowing them to take two Wild Hogs from under a hundred yards, the animals none the wiser.

The second night proved equally fruitful, with two Huge Boars falling to the Hunters' Marksmanship. The first Boar, boasting Tropy Tusks, was felled by a single bullet from each Hunter, dropping instantly. The second Wild Boar was out in a windy field, its senses dulled, enabling the Hunters to get within striking distance. They illuminated and dispatched the Boar with precision, marking another Successful Hunt.

300lb Wild Boar!

In a recent Hunting Excursion led by Guide Capt Ben, a 2 Night Hog Hunt at Hog SWAT was successfully completed. On the first night, a Coyote was located in the first field and promptly eliminated. After much movement, a Group of 5 Pigs was discovered at 5 am, resulting in 3 being taken down.

During the second night of the Hunt, the group encountered their first Pig in the Swamps. Despite nearly spooking the animal, they managed to successfully bring it down from a distance of about 160 yards. The next Wild Hog was found in a dairy field, where it had been aggressively defending its territory against Deer. Through careful Stalking, the group was able to take down the 300lb+ Boar with a well-placed shot. The Successful Hunt concluded with the group celebrating and taking the Boar's head as a trophy. Overall, it was an exciting and rewarding experience for all involved.

What A Fun Hunt!

Guide Capt Ben led a thrilling and eventful 2-Night Hog Hunt, showcasing his expertise and skill in the field.

Night 1 started off slow but ended with a bang as they located 3 Wild Hogs in a low spot rooting the field. After a successful Wild Hog Stalk, they were able to get within 70 yards and set up for the Hunt. Focusing on the Largest Hog, a laden Sow, they made a precise shot and collected some back straps before moving deeper into the field. Encountering another Hog Eating Peanuts, a well-executed stalk led to the successful takedown of 2 Hogs, showcasing the great shooting skills of the Hunters.

Night 2 began with a slow tempo, but after scanning multiple fields, they spotted and Harvested an Armadillo before moving on to a larger field where they saw 5 Pigs. Despite the Wild Pigs initially moving into the woods, a Lone Boar emerged, requiring a precise shot at 198 yards under moonlit conditions. The Successful Hunt continued as they encountered a Massive Boar on a dairy field, being targeted by other wildlife. From a remarkable distance of 375 yards, they sent a clear message to the Pig about the consequences of stealing seed. The night ended on a high note, with great shooting and Unforgettable Hunting Experiences.

Guide Capt Ben eagerly awaits the return of these Skilled Hunters, reflecting on the great times and Successful Hunts they shared together.

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.

Guide Hank led a 2 Night Hog Hunt, with the first night proving to be a bit challenging. Despite walking all over the field, only one Pig was spotted for the majority of the night. Unfortunately, the Wild Pig managed to evade capture by moving into the trees twice. However, as they were leaving the field, another Hog appeared on Thermal Imaging. Guide Hank led the group along a ditch to avoid detection in the moonlight, but the Wild Hog disappeared when they reached the corner. Undeterred, they followed the Hog through a dense area and managed to get within 100 yards of it before taking the shot. The Pig performed a little dance before succumbing, marking the successful takedown of one Pig for the night.

The second night presented its own challenges as the group had to contend with the brightness of the moon. On the first field they Stalked, a Pig spotted them and ran to a neighboring field. Another Wild Pig was observed walking onto a field and then retreating back into the trees after a few minutes. Returning to the first field, the group spotted a Sounder at the back of the field. They quietly approached along the trees and managed to get within 30 to 40 yards of the pigs as they emerged from the trees. A shot was taken, resulting in the successful harvest of a Big Pregnant Sow.

Despite only getting one pig on the second night, the group had a fun and challenging experience over the past two nights. Hunting Wild Hogs is never easy. Thankfully we have Guide Hank to find them no matter the cost.

2 Night Hog Hunt

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.

Photo Night 2: 350lb Wild Boar @HogSWAT

On night 1 of thier 2 Night Hog Hunt, in the first few fields, they didn't have much luck. In their third choice, they came across a Boar being Stalked by 2 Coyotes. They took a shot at all three, managing to drop a Large Coyote and the Wild Boar. Continuing on, they found a Sounder that was playing with property lines and attempted to wait for them to return to their field. Unfortunately, the Sounder did not come back. They returned later, only to see the Pigs in the field but they walked back to the neighbors as they approached, which was quite frustrating for them.

Guide Ben was excited about this Thrilling Night they had Hunting Pigs on night 2. They watched a pair of Boars Charging across the field, but decided not to Stalk them. Instead, they found another Group of Hogs. The next group was a Sounder spotted several hundred yards away. These Hogs led them to more amiable ones, which they decided to take down. Due to the wind, they shot at them from 225 yards away. Young Noah dropped his Wild Boar with the first shot, and his father ensured it didn’t get up. Moving on to seeking revenge, they targeted a Large Sounder they had seen the night before. Sitting at the edge of the wood line, they waited until the lead Sow made a move. After shooting at her, the whole Sounder Charged at them. Not satisfied yet, they went to a nearby field and found a boar about 750 yards away. Well, another Boar came out and tried to fight him over the peanuts so they watched and waited to see what would happen. They squared off, and the smaller newcomer tucked his tail and cleared the field. Sometimes losing is a good thing. They stalked the Victor Boar and dropped the 350lb Boar! Overall, it was a night filled with excitement and successful Hog Hunting. We hope they come back for more Boar Hunting!

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.

Wild Hog Hunting

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.

Blonde Boar

They found their first Pig in a Cotton Field. It was a tough Stalk due to the low light conditions and the noisy crop. They ended up getting a very spirited Boar who decided to charge at them instead of run away with the others. Afterwards, they covered a ton of ground looking for some more Hogs until they finally found a nice Big Blonde Boar. The Wild Hog was situated at the very top of a high crest which made things difficult, however they got it done!

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!

After the tornado watch and the lack of Wild Pigs they experienced the other night, last night was a much-welcomed success. They found their first Pig at 8:43pm and didn't show any mercy to the Wild Boar. All five guns hit the Hog, and they even fired another round just to be sure. Afterwards, they cruised around Plains, GA until we stumbled upon a Massive Boar, weighing around 250-300lbs. At first, I thought the Huge Boar had caught our scent, but as we walked back to the van, it emerged from the woods and headed straight towards us. I gave the signal, and we unleashed a barrage of shots on it! It was an Incredible Hunt. If you're interested, you can book a Hunt with us at Hog SWAT! Maybe you will get a 300lb Boar!
