In a rare turn of events, the group encountered Pigs on the first field they explored, a sight that excited and energized everyone involved. Guide Hank expressed his surprise at the fortunate timing, noting that it had been quite some time since he had seen Wild Hogs appear so early in a Hunt.

The Hog Hunters wasted no time taking their shots, managing to drop three pigs with precision and skill. The successful kills were a testament to the expertise and teamwork of the group, as they worked together seamlessly to secure their targets.

They celebrated their achievements, relishing in the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of their kills.

Guide Hank recently led a 1 Night Hog Hunt for Hog SWAT, where he and the Hunters encountered some challenges but ultimately achieved success. The night was characterized by a lot of driving around without much hog activity, leaving the group feeling disheartened. However, their luck changed around 4 am when Guide Hank spotted a sounder of Hogs at a reasonable distance.

To their pleasant surprise, the Sounder began walking in their direction as they prepared for the Stalk. With quick thinking and precise movements, the group was able to set up on the Hogs after only a short walk. The Hunters took their shots and successfully secured three Wild Hogs, marking a significant victory for the team that night.

Despite the initial setbacks and the long hours spent searching, Guide Hank's leadership and expertise ultimately led to a Successful Hunt for Hog SWAT. The night may have been filled with challenges, but the determination and skill of the team paid off in the end, resulting in a memorable and fruitful experience for all involved.

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.

It was a long night Searching for Hogs as Guide Capt Max navigated the properties in search of the Elusive Animals. They came across a few on the neighboring properties that were not part of Hog SWAT’s Hunting Grounds, making it impossible to take a shot. Additionally, one of the Hog Hunting vans was down, so they had to make do with a rental 4x4 for the Hunt, adding a touch of uniqueness to the experience. Despite these challenges, they covered a significant amount of ground and eventually came across a Single Boar, marking a successful end to the Hunt.

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 group of eager Hunters on a 1 Night Hog Hunt at Hog SWAT. With a father and his two sons in tow, the Hunt promised to be an exciting adventure in the wilderness.

As the night unfolded, Guide Hank found himself doing a lot of walking, scouting the field for any signs of Wild Hogs. To his delight, the Pigs walked out in front of him, presenting the perfect opportunity for a successful Hog Hunt. Guide Luke had to think on his feet and sneak around the Swine to make his way back to the Hunting Van, where he prepared the Hunters for their mission.

With the Hunters ready and armed, Luke led them back out into the field and successfully took down a Pig. The group decided to call it a night after that, opting to rest up for their drive home in the morning. It was a night of great success for Guide Luke and his team, as they bonded over their shared love for hunting and the thrill of the chase.

2 Night Hog Hunting

Guide Hank led a group of Hunters on a 2 Night Hog Hunt in South Georgia at Hog SWAT.

Night 1 started off with a touch of rain, but it didn't deter the group. As they pulled into the first field, it took a moment to spot the Wild Pigs due to the large size of the area. The rain added an element of challenge as they worked towards the Wild Hogs, using a smaller tree and brush for cover. Waiting patiently along the brush, they couldn't risk coming around the corner and Winding the Pigs. When the Hogs started moving towards them, they quickly got set up and took their shots from across the brush, successfully landing 5 Pigs. Despite searching for more, no other Hogs were found that night. A great success overall.

Night 2 brought more excitement as they geared up to walk over to a Pig, but the Wild Pig decided to come to them instead. Acting quickly, they set up on the fly and had all five hunters ready to shoot. The Swine dropped after a few shots. Later on, in another field, they spotted 2 Coyotes with nothing else in sight, so they decided to take a shot at one of them as well. It was a fun night for everyone involved, with great success once again.

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.

We Saved You From Labor... You're Welcome.

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.

Words From Guide Capt Ben:

New Jersey’s finest. These fellas dropped the hammer on the Hogs tonight. Our first field appeared desolate at first. As we made our way out of the field however, 9 Pigs charged out of the woods and almost directly at the Hog Hunting Van. With the full moon, they easily saw the van. We kept a cool head and didn’t move a muscle, didn’t utter but a few whispers. Two of the Wild Hogs were very curious about this 12’ tall jet black van that was sitting in their cornucopia walking up to about 60 feet from the van. They darted away but calmed back down. After about 15 minutes of silently watching the Hogs we deemed them calm and with the utmost sound discipline, moving slowly, we set up our gear on the opposite side of the van. The hunters set up nearly shoulder to shoulder. We could see the hogs with our naked eye, meaning they could see us in turn. 3, 2, bang! 4 Hogs dropped immediately and several others were hit. In the fray one Hog got back up and started running for it’s life. We took shots on it, but the Swine had a strong will to live. We ended up with a Sow, Boar and Gilt yielding some excellent Wild Hog Meat and a nice Trophy Hog Head. 

Our next go round took place on our third choice field. We spotted what almost looked like a Raccoon with its hind quarters high in the air. The guide disembarked from the van to get a closer look. The raccoon quickly turned into a Big Boar that was deep in the wallows it had been rooting all night. We set out on a 700 Yard Stalk and due to the intensity of the moonlight, took our shots from about 175 yards. The hog didn’t stand a chance, and after losing one that played opossum on our last go round, we gave this boar no quarter. A nice 250lb Boar, another Trophy Boar Head. Good shooting with these SWAT Boys. New Jersey is in good hands!

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!

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.

A storm was brewing. The Pigs were hiding from them all night until they caught a group of 6 Sows frantically feeding. The Hogs ran several hundred yards before stopping to get a quick bite. They maneuvered the Hog Hunting Van to where they had the best wind, they hailed Mary, and began to jog. They set up only to have the Wild Hogs run again! So they broke the gear down, pursued them to the tree line, and took their shots from about 140 yards away. This group nailed every pig but only one dropped in the field. Squeal Team 6 out!
