Southwest Georgia’s Best Thermal Hog Hunting. The night started off slow but Kaleb was able to get his group on a Sounder. The Group of Hogs were able to evade them buy moving into the trees with no clear opportunities. It happened again in another field but He was able to re-home a Wild Hog after a long night of Hog Hunting.

Sometimes long walks to check over the hill or in the corner of a field is needed to be successful. Our Thermal Night Hog Hunts are 100% free range and wild. We don’t put out corn feeders or have a pen full of hogs.. We have to hunt for them and sometimes they are gone before you get there. Success is measured in many ways, the experience is a small part and the harvest is often looked at as the majority of how success is quantified. One thing I have learned is the effort, skills obtained, and appreciation for Mother Nature is the best part of real hog hunting.

Some Hog Hunts are fast and furious. Others are a grind. This one was the latter—but what a payoff.
Guide Kaleb recently led a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt for a Father and Son Hunting Duo that reminded us all why we do this: not just for the Pigs, but for the Hunting Memories made under the stars, the miles walked in the dark, and the satisfaction of earning every chance.
The first night started slow. Real slow. Field after field turned up nothing but deer. Spirits began to fade, and by 3:30 a.m., you could feel the discouragement setting in. But Kaleb wasn’t ready to call it. He made one last push, one final sweep of a back field—and at 5:30 a.m., it paid off. A Sounder of Pigs.
They were jittery right from the start. We made a careful stalk, but they weren’t making it easy. Still, Kaleb got the hunters into position. The chance was farther than ideal, but the opportunity wasn’t going to get better. It was now or never. The team connected, and though the Hogs made it to the woods, it was a thrilling way to end an otherwise slow night. The father and son were both Top-Notch Hunters—resilient, positive, and a blast to Wild Hog Hunt with despite the long wait.
Night two came with its own challenges. We had a Sow and her young hanging close to the treeline. Kaleb and the Hog Hunters set up in the field, ready for them to step out. After about 30 minutes, just when it looked like they were going to make a move, a deer blew our cover—literally—and spooked the whole setup.
Later in the night, we spotted a Lone Hog out in the open. It took a long walk and a careful stalk to get in range, with the moon bright and deer watching from every corner. But patience and persistence paid off. The Hunters locked in and made it count.
As the night wound down, we made one last check before calling it. Nothing at first—then a Sounder way off in the distance. The sun was about to rise, so we had to move fast. Kaleb led the final stalk, and it all came together. Both hunters landed solid chances, each re-homing a Wild Hog just before first light. The others escaped into the woods, but the smiles said it all.
We finished the Thermal Hog Hunt under a colorful South Georgia sunrise, swapping stories and laughing about the night’s events. These guys were a joy to guide, and the Guided Hog Hunt reminded us that the best moments often come when you push through the quiet stretches and keep grinding.
At Hog SWAT, we don’t just take you Hog Hunting—we take you on a Hunting Adventure. Whether it’s your First Hog or your fiftieth, we’ll work hard to make it a Hunt you won’t forget. Come ready. Come determined. And let’s make some memories.

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt has its own story—and sometimes, it’s the unpredictable nights that leave the strongest memories. Guide Kaleb recently led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt that brought its share of excitement, challenges, and a whole lot of laughter.
Night one started off slow, but momentum picked up when the group spotted a Lone Hog early on. The team worked together seamlessly, and it was one of those perfect moments that makes it all worthwhile. While the rest of the night was quiet on the fields, the energy stayed high. “Lots of laughs and great conversations,” Kaleb said. “These guys were awesome to spend the night Hunting Wild Hogs with.”
Night two kicked off with some early action as a Coyote came into a call. Chances were taken, but the coyote slipped away. Not long after, the crew got on a Sounder of Hogs that led them on a chase across the field—twice around a running pivot. Eventually, the group had a clear opportunity, and several Pigs were looked like they were almost re-homed, but none remained in the field. Later that night, they spotted another Group Of Wild Hogs, but a distant sound that i’m not allowed to say because google can be weird spooked the animals before anything could develop. To wrap things up, they pulled into one last field and spotted another Coyote in the Wild. A quick mouth call brought it in close, but once again, it managed to slip away.
Despite the wild ups and downs, the experience was everything a great Wild Hog Hunt should be. “These were some of the best guys I’ve guided yet,” Kaleb said. “Tons of laughs and some awesome memories made.”
At Hog SWAT, that’s what it’s all about—long nights, good people, and stories that’ll last well beyond the Hog Hunting Season.

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.

There’s something exciting about a first—First Guided Hunt, first time under the stars with Thermal, or in this case, our newest Guide Caleb’s first night in the field. With experienced Guide Zev leading the way, this 1 Night Hog Hunt was more than just a Hog Hunt—it was the beginning of a new chapter for the Hog SWAT team.
Right out of the gate, things looked promising. As the van rolled into the very first field, Wild Pigs were already in position. The team quietly got into place, set up quickly, and made the most of the opportunity. Three Pigs were successfully brought in to new homes early in the evening, a great start for any Thermal Hog Hunt—and an awesome first experience for a guide-in-training.
After that initial success, the night slowed down. The team covered ground, scanned with Thermal Equipment, and stayed sharp, but the rest of the night belonged to deer and a few curious critters. While the action may have tapered off, the experience was anything but dull.
For Caleb, this first Guided Hog Hunt was a chance to see what Hog SWAT is all about—patience, precision, and making every moment in the field count. With Zev showing him the ropes, he’s already on the path to becoming an outstanding Hunting Guide.
Every night in the field tells a Hunting Story, and this one marked the start of a new one. We’re proud to have Caleb on board, and we’re looking forward to many more successful nights with him leading the charge.

When most people think of a bachelor party, they picture wild nights in Vegas or beachside blowouts. But for one group of guys, the ultimate send-off before the big day meant something different—a Night Chasing Wild Hogs in the fields of South Georgia.
Guides Zev and Hank took the crew out for what turned into an Unforgettable Hunting Adventure. Covering 800 yards of ground, the group worked their way through the fields, moving in silence, watching the landscape through Thermal Equipment. When the time came, eight Wild Hogs —a moment that had Zev feeling like an absolute legend.
The night wasn’t just about the action—it was about the experience, the camaraderie, and doing something out of the ordinary. Zev had his own take on their choice of a bachelor party:
And that’s really what it’s all about.
Whether you’re looking for a badass way to celebrate with friends or just want to experience the thrill of the Wild Hog Hunt, Hog SWAT delivers a night you won’t forget. Book your own Hunting Trip today.
Some nights, the Pigs cooperate. Other nights, they keep you on your toes. On this Hog Hunt, Guide Hank led a group into the fields for a One-Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and the Wild Pigs weren’t making it easy.
With Thermal Equipment Scanning Fields, we spotted a group of about Sounder of 10 Hogs. The challenge? They were already on the move. When Hogs are covering ground quickly, every step counts. The key to success was getting as close as possible before they picked up speed and disappeared into the brush.
We closed in carefully, timing our approach just right. When the moment came, the Hunters got there Wild Hogs before the rest of the group scattered. Fast-moving pigs is a challenge, and these guys handled it well.
Hog Hunting is about reading the situation, adjusting to the Pigs’ Behavior, and making every moment count. This Wild Hog Hunt was a perfect example of that. When the Feral Hogs don’t stand still, you have to work for every opportunity.
Whether the Piggies are standing still or making a run for it, every Thermal Hunt with Hog SWAT is an adrenaline rush. Ready to put your hunting skills to the test? Book your Guided Hunt today and see if you can outsmart South Georgia’s Wild Hogs!

At Hog SWAT, every Guided Hog Hunt has its own story—sometimes it’s about the Pigs, sometimes it’s about the people. Guide Zev just wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt that had a little bit of both… plus some unexpected entertainment.
The plan was simple—find Pigs, put clients on them, and start Stacking Hogs. But things took a turn when fellow Capt Max showed up early and handled business before Zev even arrived. “I would’ve gotten more pigs,” Zev said, “but Max had to show up early and assert dominance and took them all before I got there.”
With some Wild Hogs already taken care of, the night turned into more of a grind. Around 4 a.m., they finally caught up with a Lone Hog and made a solid Hunting Stalk—about 800 yards of slow, careful movement through the field. The payoff? Yes.
Oh, and then there was hunter who took an unexpected tumble in the middle of the field. No injuries, just a little extra dirt in the experience.
Don was here to Hog Hunt. At some point during the night, he spotted a mud hole by accident and, made a full dive into it… This happens more than people think.
The results?
• One very muddy Don.
• One very dirty rifle.
• One hunter sitting in the van for the rest of the night.
Meanwhile, Zev put in the work, covering a lot of ground with his remaining Hog Hunters. They made a solid approach, but the Pigs got spooked before anything happened. Even though no Wild Pigs took a nap that night, the guys stayed chill, enjoying the challenge for what it was.
Between Max stealing the action on Night 1, the long stalks, a surprise mud wrestling match, and plenty of miles covered, this two-Night Hunt was far from boring. And while Zev didn’t get the big numbers this time, the memories (and the mud) will definitely stick like Georgia Clay.

Hog Hunting is all about patience, skill, and taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Guide Zev recently led a Three-Night Hog Hunt that put his Hunters right in the middle of the action.
On one of the nights, the team found themselves inside 50 yards of a Massive Sounder—more than 30 hogs moving together through the fields. When the dust settled, there was success.
The last night, the team had another incredible opportunity.. The guys were great sports, but the long stalks had them a little out of breath. Sometimes, the excitement of the chase gets the best of even the most Seasoned Hunters! Though no Hogs photos were taken, the sheer number of Wild Pigs seen in one night was unbelievable.
Encounters like this are what make Thermal Hog Hunting so thrilling. Finding a Sounder that size is never guaranteed, and getting within range without getting busted takes experience and strategy. Though more hogs escaped into the night, the excitement of being that close and making successful moments for an Unforgettable Hunt.
Another great Hunting Trip in the books, and as always, the pigs won’t stay hidden for long. The next Hunt is just around the corner!

At Hog SWAT, we pride ourselves on delivering adrenaline-packed, Unforgettable Hog Hunting Experiences. This week was no exception, as Guide Hank led a 2-Night Hunting Trip that resulted in not only an Epic First-Time Hunt but also a double success story in the same field!

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of your First Hunt, and this Father and Son Hunting Duo got to experience it firsthand. After scouting a couple of fields, we finally located a Wild Hog and quickly moved into position. The Hog made a short run into the field. This was no ordinary Pig—this was a beast of a Wild Boar, and an incredible first hunt to mark the beginning of what’s sure to be a lifelong passion for hunting. The Father-Son Hunting Team left the night with an experience they will never forget.

The second night brought another chance at success, and these Hunters did not disappoint. Returning to the same field as the night before, almost in the exact same location, they found another Piggy. Once again, patience and precision paid off. After searching for more pigs for a while, they decided to wrap up the night, satisfied with their hard-earned victories.
By the end of the Hunting Trip In Georgia, these Hog Hunters not only took home some great meat but also memories that will last a lifetime. It was another great success for Hog SWAT, proving once again why we are South Georgia’s Premier Thermal Hog Hunting Outfitter.

Not every Hog Hunt is about numbers—sometimes, it’s about precision. On a recent night out with Hog SWAT, guide Zev led a group of hunters who proved that patience and discipline can be just as rewarding.
They got into position on a Small Sounder, but they focused the White Hog. When the moment was right, there was success.
Later in the night, Zev attempted to stalk a pair of hogs, but they slipped into a low spot and disappeared into the terrain. Tracking Hogs proved difficult, and even guides have off moments.
But that’s the reality of Wild Hog Wild Hog Hunting you take what the land gives you. Either way, every Thermal Hunt is an adventure, and every hunt tells a story.

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is an adventure, and last night was no exception. Guide Max led Trevor and Lorry, two brothers looking for a thrilling Night of Hog Hunting. From the start, the energy was high—these guys came ready for action and a good time.

The night started slow, with fewer Hogs Moving than usual, but that didn’t put a damper on the Hunting Experience. With Thermal Equipment Scanning the Fields, we kept at it, sharing stories and plenty of laughs along the way. The wait paid off when a Big Boar finally presented itself. There was success.
Even on a slower night, good company and a Successful Hunt make for a Memorable Hog Hunting Experience. We had a blast with these guys and hope to see them back in the field soon for another round!

When it comes to Hog Hunting, no two nights in are ever the same, but every Thermal Hunt is an adventure. Guide Max recently led a 1 Night Hog Hunt with two brothers, Eric and Angel. For Angel, this was a special night—his First Hunt Ever.
The Wild Hog Hunt kicked off strong. As soon as they pulled into a field, they encountered a Sounder of Wild Hogs. Moving quickly, the group got into position. There was success, with one more making it into the trees.
After that first wave of action, the night slowed down, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The Pig Hunt wasn’t just about numbers—it was about the memories made in the field. For Angel, the rush of his First Hog Hunt and the thrill of the first success were moments he won’t forget.
Even on a slow night, Hog SWAT delivers. Thermal Equipment, Strategic Hunting, and the chance to Hunt alongside Experienced Hunting Guides make every Hunting Trip one to remember. Whether it’s your first hunt or your hundredth, there’s nothing quite like Hunting Wild Hogs under the cover of darkness.

At Hog SWAT, we’ve seen all kinds of Hunting Traditions - lucky hats, pre-hunt rituals, and even face paint. Guide Zev swears by it, telling his Hunters that a little camouflage on the face might just bring some extra luck. But as we all know, Hunting doesn’t always go as planned.
With faces painted and rifles ready, Zev led his two hunters into the Georgia night. It wasn’t long before they Spotted Pigs and success. Not a bad start, but they were hoping for more.
Not every Hog Hunt ends with a pile of hogs, but that’s what makes the chase so thrilling. Success in Thermal Hog Hunting is about persistence, patience, and knowing that every night in the field is a new challenge. Zev’s crew may not have had the luck they hoped for, but the experience, the adrenaline, and the memories made it a Wild Hog Hunt to remember.

Guide Luke and his two Hunters arrived for a 3 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, ready to put their skills to the test. From the very first night, the action was on, with Pigs Spotted immediately. Each night brought new challenges, but with patience, strategy, and expert guiding, they racked up an impressive total of 6 Hogs. Here’s how it all went down.
Photo: Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
The first night started with a promising sight - Pigs moving between trees on two different properties where Hog SWAT has access. Unfortunately, the only path between them was directly upwind, making a direct approach impossible without spooking the hogs.
Instead, Luke took a different route, leading his Hog Hunters through a small opening to get within good distance. The strategy paid off as they got 2 Hogs right out of the gate. The rest of the night was quiet, but with two Pigs, it was already a success.
Photo: Pig Hunts @HogSWAT
The second night presented a new challenge - a Sounder of Hogs in an open, well-lit field, making it tough to move in undetected. Luke spotted an opportunity when the Pigs moved behind hay bales, breaking their line of sight. Using the cover to his advantage, he swiftly guided the hunters into position at about 60 yards. They had success.
Night 3: The Grand Finale
Photo: Taking Down Wild Hogs @HogSWAT
The last night of the Hog Hunt needed to be big - and it delivered. The highlight of the night was a patient, well-executed stalk that resulted in 3 Hogs, including an impressive Blue Boar.
With a full moon overhead, stealth was critical. Luke used a pivot as cover, keeping it between the hunters and the hogs as they closed the distance. The strategy worked perfectly, allowing them to get within 120 yards. The patience and persistence paid off, wrapping up the Thermal Hunt with a total of six hogs over three nights.
Luke’s hunt is just one example of the Thrilling Thermal Hog Hunting action that Hog SWAT offers.

Not every Hog Hunt goes as planned. Sometimes the Hogs cooperate, sometimes they don’t - but that’s what makes Hog Hunting such a challenge. A recent 4 Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT proved just that, as our Hog Hunters put in the work across multiple nights, with two different guides, to finally get some results.
Photo: Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
The first two nights were led by Guide Wes, and while the team put in the effort, the Wild Hogs weren’t exactly lining up to be taken. Field after field, stalk after stalk, they stayed just out of reach - until finally, persistence paid off. One Hog Down.
Not the numbers we hoped for, but the Wild Hog Hunt was far from over.
With two nights down and one Hog to show for it, the Hog Hunters regrouped with Guide Zev for the second half of their trip. The third night, the team had an opportunity but ended up with a Small Hog. Not the Trophy Boar they were after, but sometimes that’s the way it goes.

By night four, frustration could have set in, but these hunters weren’t quitting. With Zev leading the way, they got another chance this time at a Full Sounder. One more Wild Pig was success, giving them a proper ending to a long Hunt.
Hog Hunting is unpredictable, and no two nights are ever the same. Sometimes it’s a grind, sometimes it’s easy. But every hunt is a story, and this one was all about patience, persistence, and making the most of every opportunity.

Hog Hunting in South Georgia is never predictable, and for this group of three Hunters, the night was a test of persistence. With Guide Zev leading the way, they covered plenty of ground in search of Wild Hogs, and by the end of the night, their efforts paid off.
The Hog Hunt kicked off early with a Single Hog spotted in the distance. The Hog Hunters had success with a Tough Boar. Zev moved the group in closer, but the Hog, now spooked, disappeared into the darkness.
Determined to find more targets, the group pushed on, covering a lot of ground in pursuit of another Sounder. They finally closed in, only to find the Wild Pigs had already moved out of sight by the time they got into position. It was a frustrating setback, but they weren’t giving up yet.
At 2 a.m., the persistence finally paid off. A new Sounder of Hogs was spotted, and this time, the Hunters wasted no time. Moving in quickly, and 2 Pigs, ending the night with a hard-earned victory.
Some nights are a grind, but that’s what makes Hog Hunting so rewarding. Whether it’s covering miles to find a sounder or taking the perfect shot, every Wild Hog Hunt is a new challenge. If you’re ready for an Adrenaline-Packed Thermal Hunt, book your Hunting Trip with Hog SWAT today!

There’s nothing better than seeing familiar faces back in the field. Last night, Guide Wes took out a group of returning Hog Hunters, and they did what they came to do - two Wild Hogs down!
Thermal Hunting never gets old. The adrenaline, the stalk, the moment you lock on and get success - it’s an experience like no other. And we love that these Hunters enjoy it just as much as we do.
Big thanks to this crew for coming back out with Hog SWAT. We can’t wait to do it again next year! Ready to book your next Wild Hog Hunt? Let’s go.

At Hog SWAT, we live for the thrill of the hunt. There’s nothing like scanning the fields under the cover of darkness, tracking down wild hogs with thermal optics, and putting our skills to the test. Our recent group of five Hunters got a firsthand experience of why a 2 Night Hog Hunt is the way to go.
Guide Zev led the crew across five miles of farmland, scanning every field, every tree line, and every shadow for Wild Hogs. But that’s Hunting - some nights, the Pigs just don’t cooperate. We don’t sit in stands over bait piles. We go after them. That means some nights, even when you put in the work, the Wild Pigs don’t show up. But the Wild Hog Hunt doesn’t end there.
The second night was a completely different story. Once the conditions lined up, the team got a few Wild Hogs, and even managed to snap a picture with three of them. There was also an unexpected guest - a possum - caught in the action for reasons unknown, maybe he wanted to see what all the commotion was about… lol.. Just another night in South Georgia.
This group came ready for the Thermal Hunt, and they got what they came for. The wild card?
1 Night Hog Hunts are a gamble. You might get lucky, or you might cover five miles without a shot. But on a Two-Night Hog Hunt, you increase your chances of success. We can’t promise a hog every time - that’s real Wild Hog Hunting - but we can promise that we’ll put in the work to make it happen.
We don’t bait. We don’t sit in stands. We track, we stalk, and we hunt - like men.
If you’re ready for an Adrenaline-Packed Hunting Experience Chasing Wild Hogs under the stars, book your Guided Hog Hunt today. One night or two, the chase is always worth it. But if you really want to stack up some pigs, go for the two-night hunt.
See you in the field.
