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.

After scanning nearby fields without much luck, they made their way back towards Americus and spotted a Lone Pig in a large, freshly tilled and fertilized field.

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!

Harvesting Wild Hogs

Guide Capt Ben led the Hunt with varying levels of success, initially encountering Hogs darting across the fields. In the third field, a Lone Hog cautiously peeked out of the trees, catching their attention. After observing the Pig for approximately 10 minutes, the decision was made to move on to a more promising location.

As they departed, they were surprised to find that the initial Wild Hog had brought a companion along for the journey. With their gear at the ready and navigating unpredictable winds, they positioned themselves strategically behind the cover of tall winter wheat, utilizing the partial moonlight to their advantage. Taking careful aim from approximately 100 yards away, they managed to swiftly take down both Boars with precision shots, resulting in a successful and exciting conclusion to the Hunt. It was a memorable moment as both Hogs were harvested and the team celebrated their accomplishment in the field.
