The first field held a couple of nice-sized Boars. The Stalk was muddy and wet, but fortunately, the rain had given way. They closed to about 60 yards when we set up and fired a volley. Nailed ‘em! That was the easy part. Afterward, they dragged our pigs about 400 yards through the mud until they could finally hitch them to the Hog Van and get them to the Hog dump. Then proceeded onto a few more fields and didn’t find much luck. Eventually, at a large peanut field, they found 6 Smaller Pigs; however, the wind switched up on them and they got spooked. They headed down the road a bit and immediately saw about 20 Wild Pigs in a Large Sounder. As they got close, it became apparent that there were more like 50+ Hogs in a Mega Sounder! These Pigs had no idea what was coming, and we fed them lead. After the dust settled, our Hunters got exactly what they wanted: 8 Suckling Pigs for a total of 10 downed throughout the night!
Squeal Team 6
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!
Blonde Boar
They found their first Pig in a Cotton Field. It was a tough Stalk due to the low light conditions and the noisy crop. They ended up getting a very spirited Boar who decided to charge at them instead of run away with the others. Afterwards, they covered a ton of ground looking for some more Hogs until they finally found a nice Big Blonde Boar. The Wild Hog was situated at the very top of a high crest which made things difficult, however they got it done!
The Pro Hog Hunters
These guys took down 4 Pigs and a Coyote. These 4 guys can crack jokes all night and still Slay Wild Hogs. They didn’t see any Wild Pigs on the 2nd field we checked, but had the opportunity to shoot a coyote, and they nailed him. Found a Sounder on the second field 4th field they checked. They set up and was able to take down 2 Wild Hogs. After that they dropped in on a nearby field, and snuck right up on a nice sized Solo Boar and ended him with the first shot. After they dragged the Wild Boar off the field they circled back and checked the same field they took down the first 2, and there were more pigs in the same spot! They pulled in once more to shoot a ton of Hogs but were only able to secure one more. I’m sure others died shortly after in the tree line. They have more slaughtering to do tomorrow night!
Rare Black Coyote!!
Guide Ben took this group to patroll some fields in Plains Ga, covering a total of 7 different fields before stumbling upon their first sighting - a Sounder consisting of approximately 11 Pigs. Eagerly, they unleashed a series of volleys, only to find that none of the shots seemed to have made an impact. However, upon scouring the low-lying areas, they made a surprising discovery - 4 Wild Hogs had indeed been successfully taken down. Moving on to the next field, the Hunters were disappointed not to find any Pigs, but the presence of Several Coyotestes caught their attention. Swiftly, they set up their position and skillfully lured the Coyotes closer using Guide Capt Ben expertly executed squeaks. The crack of a single shot echoed, successfully eliminating one of the Black Song Dogs. Undeterred by the lack of Hogs in the previous field, they ventured to another field where a separate group had previously taken shots. To their delight, they encountered another 13 Hogs. However, one wise Sow among them seemed to sense that something was amiss, despite favorable wind conditions and a safe distance. Unfazed, the sow began to approach, prompting the hunters to take shots at the Moving Targets. Unfortunately, due to a combination of adrenaline and a malfunctioning weapon, they were unable to bring any of the pigs down. Nonetheless, the thrill of shooting at the moving targets provided them with an exhilarating experience and an enjoyable time. Taking down a Rare Black Coyote is a Once In A Life Time Hunting Expiernce. Congrats to these guys on a Trophy Coyote!
Hog Snipers | 200 Yard Shot
James and Gabriel are highly skilled and certified Hog Snipers, and their expertise was on full display during their Hog Hunt. Taking advantage of the bright moon behind them, they managed to sneak up on a Wild Pig and successfully shot it from a remarkable distance of over 200 yards. Their precise aim resulted in an immediate kill, dropping the Pig right in its tracks.
Unfortunately, they faced some challenges in locating more Hogs afterward. They did, however, have the opportunity to take shots at a fast-moving Coyote, though it was difficult to confirm a kill due to its speed. Shortly after, they encountered another Hog that managed to escape into the brush before James and Gabriel could take it down. However, there is no doubt that if the Wild Hog had stayed still, they would have shot it with precision.
In the end, they celebrated the one remarkable Long-Range Kill achieved by James and Gabriel. Guide Luke expressed his enthusiasm for Hunting with them, describing it as an awesome night, and hopes to have the opportunity to guide their Hunt again in the future. They also purchased their Hog Hunting Video, we can’t wait to see that incredable shot.

Coyote Night Hunts?
What was a Hog Hunt turned into a Coyote Hunt In South Georgia. Despite the challenging full moon conditions, we managed to get one go-round on a Wild Hog last night. Unfortunately, the Hog made it to the woods and got away. But, thanks to our experienced guide Capt. Max, we were still able to claim a successful kill by calling in a pair of Coyotes and taking one down. We celebrate any measure of success in our Hog Hunts, and always strive to provide a memorable and fulfilling Hunting Experience. Ready for your own Wild Hog Hunting trip? Book with Hog SWAT today!
