Hunting Wild Hogs requires patience, determination, and adaptability, and this past 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Hank proved just that! A dedicated repeat customer returned to Hog SWAT, ready for another thrilling adventure under the South Georgia night skies. Here’s how their Hog Hunt unfolded.
Night 1: Challenging Conditions
The first night began with high hopes as the team set out for some action-packed stalking. The conditions, however, were challenging, with shifting winds and a few near-misses. A Sounder was spotted at Dream Farm, but shifting winds gave the Hogs the upper hand. Later at Ben’s, the Hog Hunter managed a few shots, hitting at least one pig before the group scattered.
The night’s unexpected highlight came while driving to a new location. A Wild Hog appeared right in front of the van, providing a quick and unexpected opportunity. Hank swiftly set up the Hunter, and while the hog was hit, it ultimately evaded capture. Despite the challenges, spirits remained high, knowing the second night promised a fresh chance to succeed.
Night 2: Success Through Strategy
The second night brought renewed energy, and this time, persistence paid off. The first Wild Hog Stalk of the evening was disrupted by deer that spooked nearby Piggies. On the second stalk, the team spotted a Wild Pig from the van but initially had trouble locating it after taking a long route to approach undetected.
Just as they were preparing to call it a night, the Pig reappeared, offering the perfect opportunity. Hank and the hunter carefully waited for the right moment, ensuring the shot was well-executed. This time, the result was a successful harvest and smiles all around—a testament to patience and determination paying off.
