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.
