Last night, Guide Capt Ben led a 1 Night Hog Hunt for the Hog SWAT team that was filled with unexpected twists and turns. As they set out into the rugged terrain, the team found themselves driving around in circles, trying to track down the elusive wild hogs. The frustration was mounting as they seemed to be going in circles and coming up empty-handed.

But just when it seemed like luck was not on their side, the Pig Gods must have taken pity on them. Suddenly, a Group of Pigs popped out from the bushes, catching the team by surprise. With adrenaline pumping, they quickly got into position and took their shots. Despite the initial struggles, the team managed to drop 4 out of the 10 Hogs they shot at, a decent success rate for the night.

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.

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.

A Muddy Night!

Guide Capt Ben took Don and Timothy on a Wild Hog Hunt at Hog SWAT. The night began with the trio checking fields for Wild Hogs, eventually spotting 4 Pigs on their second field. Despite sinking into the saturated Georgia Clay up to their ankles, they stalked towards a high point to set up. With a countdown from the guide, they took down two of the Hogs and watched them to ensure they weren't playing possum. On the trek back to the van, they learned the hard way just how deep the clay could be, with Don taking a tumble and the group ending up covered in mud. After returning to town for fresh gear and zeroing their backup rifles, they headed back out for more Hunting. Although they encountered some Wild Pigs who quickly retreated, the experience was certainly a memorable one for all involved. A true adventure in the Georgia Wilderness.

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.

Thermal Hunting In Georgia

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.

Photo Night 2: They Saved You From Labor… You’re Welcome… @HogSWAT

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.

The Jersey Boys Are Now The SWAT Boys

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.

Fun Hog Hunts

The Hunting Guide, known as Guide Hank, had a fantastic time with this Hunting Party. Throughout the night, the group was engaged in playful banter and joking around, creating a lively atmosphere. Despite initially not spotting any Hogs, the group eventually located some Pigs and executed a flawless Stalk, getting within about 70 yards under the illuminated night sky.

The Hunters skillfully took down their targets, with the Wild Pigs displaying a unique dance before succumbing to the shots. By the end of the night, two pigs had been successfully harvested. While waiting for another pig to emerge on a different property, unexpected gunshots startled the group, causing the remaining pig to retreat quickly into the cover of the woods.

Although they didn't encounter any more Wild Hogs that night, the overall outcome was deemed a great success. A word of caution was shared by Guide Hank, mentioning that falling asleep in the Hunting Van could result in getting a surprise sharpie doodle on one's face, a lighthearted reminder of the camaraderie and fun shared during the Hog Hunt.

The Jersey Devil's Take On Wild Hogs

Photo Night 2: Don’t Make A Deal With The Jersey Devils @HogSWAT

Guide Hank said these Jersey devils were hungry for Hog Meat so they took a Hunting Trip to Georgia where they could slay some Hogs with us. The first field they pulled into was empty, so they moved on to the next field where they found a Solo Hog and were able to take it down. The next few fields they checked were also empty, but on their last stop of the night they circled back to the first field they had looked at and found a Sounder of 20+ Pigs.

It wasn't a question of whether there were Pigs in a field, but rather when they would show up. The group Stalked the Pigs as they moved through the field, getting closer as they grew more comfortable. However, one of the Wild Pigs started approaching them, causing the rest of the Sounder to follow. The Jersey devils quickly set up their gear and were able to take down 3 Pigs before the others ran off the field.

Jersey Devils seem to have gotten their fill on Bacon because they only got one Piggy on night 2. Running around all night looking for the Wild Pigs with one briefly spotted before it disappeared. Word must’ve got out that the devils were in town because they were all hiding. At 3am a sharp Hog was spotted so we pulled out a death warrant and had the Wild Hog sign it in exchange for some peanuts. Naturally the hog got shot and died. Didn’t anyone teach that pig you don’t make deals with the devil?
