Hunting Wild Hogs Can Be A Challenge

Guide Hank took some customers on a 2 Night Hog Hunt that he led for HogSWAT, highlighting the challenges and successes of the experience in the field.

Night 1 brought an unexpected encounter with a group of Small Piglets in the middle of the field, illuminated by the moon. Despite the opportunity for a shot at a Larger Hog, the nervous behavior of an Older Hog prevented them from taking the shot from a distance of 350 yards. Determined to make it count, Guide Hank planned to try again on the following night.

Night 2 proved to be more successful as they managed to take shots at Pigs twice during the Hunt. Although no pictures were taken, the feedback from the Hunters was positive, expressing their enjoyment and interest in returning for future Hunts. Guide Hank's determination and perseverance paid off, leading to a rewarding Hunting Experience for all involved.

13 Wild Hogs In One Night!

Guide Hank led a 2 Night Hog Hunt at Hog SWAT, with an eventful Night 1 filled with excitement and success. The evening started off with a Guide Hank’s personal Record-Breaking Hunt, as a total of 13 Wild Hogs were taken down much to the delight of the two Hunters. The night began with a fruitful hunt on the first field, where 4 Wild Pigs were dropped with multiple shots. After a brief lull on the next field, the group unexpectedly encountered a Sounder of Pigs while on the lookout for a Coyote. Opting to target the Pigs instead, they successfully shot 2 more.

As the Hunters celebrated their kills and took photos, Guide Hank heard a strange noise in the distance, prompting him to turn off the lights. This led to a surprising opportunity as Piglets from the earlier deceased mother returned to the field, allowing for a quick and efficient takedown of 8 more piglets, tying his personal record of 12. To everyone's amazement, a 13th piglet was spotted on Thermal Imaging, hidden in a hole and barely visible. With this unexpected addition, the night concluded on a high note of success and accomplishment.

Unfortunately, Night 2 did not bring the same level of excitement as no sightings were made, leading the group to head back around 4:30am. Despite the quiet evening, the Hunters were grateful for the action-packed experience of the previous night, showcasing their skill and determination in the Hunt. Guide Hank led a memorable and eventful Hog Hunt, with both highs and lows but ultimately leaving a lasting impression on all involved.

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.

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.

On the first night of Wild Hog Hunting, they drove around some choice fields until 2:30 am, only managing to shoot one Tiny Hog out of a group of six. Despite the slow start, they were determined and ready for night two.

Their second night proved to be much more eventful. They successfully recovered a 200lb Sow from the tree line in their second field. The following field provided them with the excitement of Shooting a Small Sounder of 15 Pigs. Although the Big Pig they were targeting managed to escape after being shot three times, they were still able to take one smaller Hog off the Field.

Moving on to their fourth field, they encountered a Massive Hog Group of approximately 40 Wild Hogs. With precision and skill, they were able to drop a 250lb Boar from the Sounder. It was a successful night after the slow start they had experienced previously, and they were pleased with their results.

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!

The first stalk of the night started off with some exercise for them. From getting out of the van to loading up the meat, they walked just under 3000 yards or 1.6 miles. It was worth it in the end because it made the Hunt so much more rewarding. Pigs were spotted and winded them, so they followed them over the hill to see if anything was on the tree line to no avail. With a busted Stalk, they made their way back to the Hunting Van only to see 6 Hogs on the opposite side of the field across a trench full of water. They walked even more and successfully Bagged 2 Wild Hogs. They searched a couple more fields and found nothing, then finally spotted 2 Wild Pigs walking around on another field and added 1 more to the total, making it 3 for the first night.

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!

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!

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!

Rare Black Coyote!!

Guide Ben took this group to patroll some fields in Plains Ga, covering a total of 7 different fields before stumbling upon their first sighting - a Sounder consisting of approximately 11 Pigs. Eagerly, they unleashed a series of volleys, only to find that none of the shots seemed to have made an impact. However, upon scouring the low-lying areas, they made a surprising discovery - 4 Wild Hogs had indeed been successfully taken down. Moving on to the next field, the Hunters were disappointed not to find any Pigs, but the presence of Several Coyotestes caught their attention. Swiftly, they set up their position and skillfully lured the Coyotes closer using Guide Capt Ben expertly executed squeaks. The crack of a single shot echoed, successfully eliminating one of the Black Song Dogs. Undeterred by the lack of Hogs in the previous field, they ventured to another field where a separate group had previously taken shots. To their delight, they encountered another 13 Hogs. However, one wise Sow among them seemed to sense that something was amiss, despite favorable wind conditions and a safe distance. Unfazed, the sow began to approach, prompting the hunters to take shots at the Moving Targets. Unfortunately, due to a combination of adrenaline and a malfunctioning weapon, they were unable to bring any of the pigs down. Nonetheless, the thrill of shooting at the moving targets provided them with an exhilarating experience and an enjoyable time. Taking down a Rare Black Coyote is a Once In A Life Time Hunting Expiernce. Congrats to these guys on a Trophy Coyote!

She Never Sow That Coming...

After checking several fields, they came across a Sounder of 13 Wild Hogsgs. With the wind swirling and highly unpredictable, they rolled the dice and began their Stalk. The Pigs were a little preoccupied with rooting peanuts to notice them Stalking to about 80 yards. They dropped a nice 100lb Hog and a 40lb piglet, which yielded them a nice pile of Wild Hog Meat. They then went out to several more fields before finding 4 Juvenile Pigs. The Hogs were in a low brush, which made the shooting difficult, but they let them have it. After the dust settled, they scored an 80lb Sow. They kept looking for Wild Pigs but ran out of time. Let’s see what tomorrow bears for these Hunters and their Hunt For Hogs. Maybe they will have better luck and find a bigger Group of Pigs or a Trophy-Sized Boar. We will have to wait and see what fate has in store for them on the next Hunting Excursion.

Hog Slayer

Chad the Lone Shooter tonight had a plan for 2 people but the other guy couldn’t make it. That doesn't matter because Chad is a Hog Slayer, they got on Pigs the first field we went to a Chad dropped a nice Sow and got the meat off it. They didn’t have too much luck the rest of the night but I know if Chad had another chance to shoot he wouldn’t have let a single Hog escape his sights. We hope Chad comes back to Hog SWAT for round two. We all wanna see his skills put to the test of a Sounder Of Hogs.

Embarking on an Hunting Expedition guided by the seasoned Captain Ben, this group embarked on a short drive to the first field. With great precision, they located a Sounder of 11 Majestic Pigs, standing proudly before them. Exhibiting their skills, they quietly closed in on the Wild Hogs, ensuring their position for the perfect shot. The first Boar, belonging to Dylan, fell instantly, its comrades soon joining the fallen by Bill. The stunning array of sizes, from bite-sized to the grandest of Swine, filled us with a sense of accomplishment as we prepared to embark on the Butchering process, savoring the prospect of indulging in Fine-Quality Meat.

Eager to continue their Hunting odyssey, they ventured towards the next field, unaware of the challenges that awaited them. The Stalking proved rigorous, spanning a remarkable distance of approximately 800 yards, as the Wild Pig sought refuge within a concealed trench. Determined, we persevered, maintaining our pursuit until we could discern the silhouette of the elusive creature's back, mere fifty yards away. With bated breath, our anticipation peaked upon discovering the vulnerable vital region just ten yards further. And then, with a resounding bang, yet another Hog succumbed to our Skilled Marksmanship. The thrill and joy coursing through their veins were undeniable, a testament to the immeasurable satisfaction derived from such an adventure.

For an unforgettable and Adrenaline-Pumping Hog Hunting Experience, we wholeheartedly invite you to book a Thermal Hog Hunt with us at Hog SWAT. Under the expert guidance of Captain Ben, rest assured that your venture into the world of primal pursuit will be an absolute triumph worth cherishing for a lifetime.

The Muddy Hogs

After overcoming a few slight delays, we ventured towards our swampy fields in eager anticipation of the Hunt. With utmost caution, we cautiously traversed the field and were thrilled to spot numerous Deer on our Thermals. However, our persistence paid off when we discovered a small Sounder nestled deep within the sorghum, hidden in a low spot.

Undeterred by the challenging conditions, which included traversing 750 yards of muddy terrain and navigating through noisy cut sorghum, we valiantly pursued our quarry. Skillfully setting up our Hunting Tripods in complete silence, we took aim at a magnificent Sow and her brood. The tension mounted as we counted down, "3, 2, BANG!" Suddenly, the Pigs darted away in a bewildering display of erratic movement, seemingly unsure of their destination.

With our prized catches secured, we remained alert and vigilant throughout our journey. Just as we were about to depart, fate smiled upon us, revealing a magnificent 200 lb Boar boasting menacing 2-inch Tusks. Torn between charging us or making a mad dash towards the tree line, the Boar hesitated, spinning in circles as we took aim. It was a decisive moment, and we made the daunting choice for him, swiftly ending his existence in the muddy ground.

In the end, our expedition proved to be an Unforgettable Boar Encounter filled with exhilarating moments. The thrill of the hunt was complemented by the delectable meats harvested, providing a truly Unique Hunting Adventure that will forever be etched in our memories.

But the excitement didn't end there. They spotted a Sounder of Pigs in a challenging location, just in front of a valuable pivot. With the risk of a costly mistake, they managed to fire some shots, hitting the Wild Hogs before they crossed over to the pivots, yet unfortunately, they managed to escape the field.

Nevertheless, it was a satisfying conclusion to the Second Night of Hunting for these Skilled Hunters. Don't miss out on your chance to join in on the action. Book your Wild Hog Hunt today and experience the Hunting Adrenaline Rush for yourself.
