New Era for hog swat

There’s no better way to launch the newly updated Hog SWAT website than with a classic, high-action South Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt led by Guide Zev.
The night started on Wise Road, where the crew got eyes on a Lone Hog early. Singles are unpredictable, and this one moved out before they could make a clean approach — a reminder that Hog Hunting is never guaranteed, even with perfect gear and timing.
From there, the team headed west to Ben’s, where they located a full Sounder. They began a careful stalk, but swirling wind pushed the pigs off the field before the hunters could get into position. That’s how fast things change in the dark — one shift in the breeze and the entire game resets.
But the night wasn’t done.
Not even close.
Around 1:00 AM, the Thermals lit up again — this time on Eddie’s, where another sounder was feeding across the field. The stalk was slow, controlled, and perfectly executed. When the moment was right, the hunters made it count, and the team recovered three hogs in the field.
There’s something special about Night Hunts like this — the mix of quiet fields, fast decisions, and sudden bursts of action when a sounder finally appears. And this crew brought nonstop energy and enthusiasm the entire night. Their excitement was contagious and kept spirits high through every stalk.
To mark the first post on our updated site, this Wild Hog Hunt couldn’t have been better:
multiple stalks, multiple sounders, and a strong finish under the Georgia stars.
This is what Hog SWAT does — real Thermal Hog Hunting, real farmland, real Hunting Adventure.
Welcome to the new chapter.
Hunting Wild Hogs At Night

Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t always easy — and this 1-night Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton is the perfect reminder of how smart and unpredictable wild hogs can be.
Midnight Encounter With a Group of Three
Around midnight, Clayton and the hunters located a group of three hogs feeding across an open field. The team made their approach and got into position, but the hogs slipped off the field before the group could make solid connections.
It’s moments like this that show exactly why wild hogs are considered some of the toughest animals in the South. They don’t play by the rules.
Second Opportunity at 3:30 AM
Later in the night, around 3:30 AM, Clayton found another group. The conditions were challenging — the wind kept switching directions, making it difficult to keep from getting winded.
As soon as the hogs caught even the slightest scent, the entire group shifted and moved out fast. Wind is one of the biggest factors in Thermal Hog Hunting, and on this night, it worked against us.
A Tough Night — and a Realistic Look at Hog Hunting
People often think Hog Hunting is easy because of how many hogs are in Georgia. But nights like this show the truth:
Hogs are extremely smart
They have incredible noses
Their skin and bodies are tough
They react instantly to pressure, scent, or sound
When you Hunt Hogs, you gain a whole new respect for just how sharp and adaptable they are.
Even without a big outcome, this 1-night Wild Hog Hunt with Clayton was a great example of real, unscripted Georgia Hog Hunting — where every field teaches you something new.
Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

When you’re Hunting farmland in South Georgia, every field has its own personality — and this group brought plenty of energy to the night. Daniel, our drone pilot, located a Sounder on a field, setting the stage for quick action right out of the gate.
Locating Hogs With the Drone
With the drone up, Daniel spotted a Group of Hogs working through the field. As soon as the hunters moved in, excitement took over. Let’s just say they were ready to go — even if it meant crunching every corn stalk under their boots on the way in.
Because the hogs were already alert from the noise, the team had to take their positions sooner than planned, resulting in longer-distance than we typically prefer.
Connecting With the Hogs
Despite the challenging approach, the group still managed to connect with two hogs, and one of them disappeared into the crop rows. With thick cover and broken stalks everywhere, it was tough to track from the ground alone.
That’s when Daniel stepped up again.
Drone Recovery Success
Our Thermal Drone pilot lifted off, scanned the area, and located the hog quickly — a perfect example of why having aerial thermal support is such a game-changer on these Wild Hog Hunts. The drone allows us to confirm recoveries fast and efficiently, even in corn field conditions.
A Solid Night for a 1-Night Hunt
Between locating hogs early, navigating a rowdy approach, and using the drone to secure a recovery, this 1-Night Hog Hunt delivered plenty of excitement and a strong result for the group.
Another good night in South Georgia with Hog SWAT.
Hunting Under The Northern Lights

Some nights remind us exactly why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is one of the most unpredictable, exciting experiences you can have outdoors — and last night proved it.
While Guide Max and the team were out training new guides and scanning for coyotes, the sky put on a show no one expected: the Northern Lights Glowing over South Georgia. A rare sight that set the tone for a night full of surprises.
Not long after, a pig stepped out right in front of a coyote we were watching. We immediately called Guide Zev to take over the stalk. He rushed to the field and got set up, but the pig slipped away before he arrived.
A little later, while we were still calling, a Massive Lone Boar emerged. We kept eyes on it and called Zev again. He pulled in quickly — but just as he reached the field, the Boar dipped into a low spot and vanished. Even with Thermals Scanning and Max checking the pivot for elevation, the boar disappeared into the terrain like a shadow.
After a third careful stalk that ended the same way, it was clear:
Some nights, the pigs win.
That’s the reality of Hog Hunting. These animals are sharp, fast, and use every bit of ground to their advantage. It’s not easy — and it’s never guaranteed — but that challenge is what makes Hog SWAT Wild Hog Hunts real. We don’t sit in stands or hunt over bait. We stalk, scan, and adapt in real time.
And even on a night where the pigs stayed one step ahead, the combination of Northern Lights overhead and the excitement of each stalk made it a night worth remembering.
At Hog SWAT, it’s not just about the outcome — it’s about the adventure, the teamwork, the chase, and the rare moments you only see when you’re out there under the South Georgia sky.
Guided Hog Hunts In Georgia

Night one of this two-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with fast action and great company.
Guide Zev and his hunters set up on a Sounder of Wild Hogs near the Half Moon field by the tanks — a spot known for steady pig movement through the fall. Once the group got in range, the thermals lit up with heat signatures, and the Hog Hunt was on. Everything rang out, and several pigs were re-homed, with two recovered in the field before the rest made it into the trees.
That’s how it goes with Thermal Hog Hunting — quick decisions, unpredictable movement, and the excitement of real-time action under the night sky. The hunters handled it like pros, and the camaraderie made the night even better.
At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. We don’t sit and wait — we stalk, spot, and engage. Using the latest thermal, we track wild hogs across South Georgia farmland, helping landowners manage populations while giving hunters a true adrenaline-filled experience.
Whether it’s your first hunt or your fiftieth, Hog SWAT delivers the real deal — Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia with experienced guides, top-tier gear, and action you’ll never forget.
Youth Hunting

Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t as simple as it might look on video — and that’s what makes it such a thrill.
On this Wild Hog Hunt, Guide Zev reminded his hunters that Wild Hogs are incredibly smart animals. They learn fast, travel miles in a single night, and constantly change their patterns. One evening you’ll find them in a cornfield — the next, they’re gone without a trace. That unpredictability is what keeps hunters on their toes and makes every Thermal Night Hunt unique.
With Hog SWAT, we don’t bait or sit and wait. We hunt, stalk, and move, scanning the fields with state-of-the-art thermal to find where the pigs are hiding. It’s real Hunting — challenging, exciting, and always an adventure under the stars.
And while hunting isn’t guaranteed (no matter the animal or location), every night in the field is time well spent — especially when we get to share it with families and kids who are experiencing Wild Hog Hunting for the first time. Watching a young hunter’s excitement when they see their first sounder light up on a thermal scope is something special.
At Hog SWAT, that’s what we love most — not just the hunting, but the experience of teaching others what makes Hog Hunting in South Georgia so addictive and unforgettable.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or bringing your kids for their first hunt, Hog SWAT offers the ultimate Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia — where every night brings a new story, a new challenge, and a chance to experience the wild like never before.
No Easy Hunts

Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t for everyone — it takes grit, patience, and a good pair of boots. On night two of this Guided Hog Hunt, Guide Zev led his hunters deep into the darkness once again, searching for Wild Pigs across the open fields and backroads of South Georgia.
They found plenty of pigs throughout the night, but that’s where the challenge begins. Hog Hunting after dark is all about reading the wind, staying quiet, and getting close enough to make it count — all while moving in total darkness guided only by thermal that the guide has.
Every stalk tests your focus. Every step matters. There are nights where you walk miles, guideds scanning with the thermal, knowing the pigs are out there — but getting in range takes time, patience, and persistence.
Even without a chance to setup, the experience is unforgettable. Watching a Sounder of Wild Hogs drift through the fields, the hum of the thermal, and the stillness of the Georgia night — that’s what keeps hunters coming back.
At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is an adventure. Our Guided Hog Hunts take you deep into wild country to experience the real side of Georgia Hog Hunting — challenging, unpredictable, and always exciting.
Birthday Hunting Trip

There’s no better way to celebrate a birthday than chasing Wild Hogs in Georgia!
Guide Capt. Clayton led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, GA, where the crew came down to celebrate Austin’s 34th birthday. The night kicked off strong — in the very first field, they spotted pigs and made quick work of it. Two bangs later, one hog sleeping forever before midnight.
Things slowed down after that, but not for lack of effort. Around 2 AM, the team spotted two more pigs in another field, only for a pack of coyotes to start howling and push the pigs deep into the trees before they could line up another chance.
Even with the slow stretch, the guys had an awesome night celebrating, Hunting, and making memories that will last far longer than the birthday cake.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, come celebrate your next big day with Hog SWAT — where the lights go out, the thermal light up, and the action never gets old.

Guide Hank wrapped up the second night of this two-night Hog SWAT Hunt in Americus, Georgia with another solid success!
It was a long night of riding through the fields, scanning with thermals, and catching sight after sight of deer — but no Wild Hogs in range. Persistence pays off, though. Around 4 AM, the team finally spotted a Big Sow feeding alone in a peanut field.
With the bright moonlight backlighting their position, Hank and the hunters moved carefully to avoid spooking her. Once they lined up from about 200 yards out, they made it count. One clean placement, one Big Pig forever sleeping — great success.
This Wild Hog Hunt is a perfect example of what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about: patience, precision, and persistence. You never know when the next field, or the next hour, will turn into the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Father-Daughter Duo and a Close Call for the Dawgs 🐗❤️
It was another great night of Hog Hunting in Americus Georgia with Guide Zev leading the way for this Father-Daughter Hunting Duo! After getting five pigs on night one, the crew wasn’t done yet — they were back for round two and ended the hunt with one Big Pig sleeping.
Meanwhile, Georgia fans were holding their breath as the Dawgs faced Auburn, trailing until the fourth quarter. We didn’t score until the third — it was way too close for comfort. But just like the Dawgs pulled through with a 20–10 win, this Father-Daughter Hunting Team stuck it out and made it happen under the stars.
There’s nothing better than seeing Families Hunting together and making memories that’ll last forever. Whether it’s college football Saturdays or late-night stalks in the fields, South Georgia keeps you on your toes.
If you’ve never experienced the rush of a Thermal Hog Hunt, come see what it’s all about. You might just get your own story worth cheering for.
Boar Hunts In Georgia

Guide Zev recently led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt for Hog SWAT, and it turned into one of those short, sweet, and memorable nights in the field. The group spent the first part of the night scanning plenty of deer through the thermal, waiting for the right opportunity.
Eventually, a hog made an appearance — and that’s when things got exciting. There’s nothing quite like watching a sounder or a single hog light up on thermal in the middle of the night. Every detail, from their movement to the heat signature in the grass, brings a whole new level of adrenaline to Night Hog Hunting.
That’s what makes Boar Hunting in Georgia so unique. Even on a short trip, every field holds surprises, and every Wild Hog Hunt offers something different. The experience itself — the teamwork, the gear, and the thrill of spotting pigs under thermal — is what keeps hunters coming back year after year.

Before heading out, the group spent time on the range — an important part of every Guided Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia. This is where hunters get familiar with the fun things that go bang, practice with thermal, and review safety. Range time ensures that when the moment comes, hunters are confident and ready.

Guide Zev led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia. While a large sounder of nine hogs showed up, they were across the boundary line on neighboring property where we couldn’t pursue. Even without the opportunity to move in, the night still had plenty of highlights.

Out in the field, the Hog Hunt offered its own rewards. The South Georgia night sky, the farmland terrain, and the anticipation of seeing hogs kept the energy high. Hunting Wild Hogs isn’t always about immediate results — it’s about the pursuit, the camaraderie, and protecting farms when the chance presents itself.
As Zev put it, “The dudes were cool, I had fun.” That’s the spirit behind every Hog SWAT Hog Hunt. Each outing is unique, and while some nights end with hogs sleeping, others remind us why this work is so important — keeping destructive wild hogs in check while delivering an Unforgettable Hunting experience.

South Georgia Hog Hunt

Night one of the two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia was full of action and long stalks. Early in the evening, deer were moving heavy, but the Wild Hogs didn’t make their appearance until later. Around 2:30 a.m., the hunters finally spotted the first pig. This hog gave them a real challenge, staying just out of range and eventually slipping into the treeline after nearly 45 minutes of pursuit.
By 4:30 a.m., another hog appeared, and they made a long stalk. Just as they got into position, the hog disappeared into the woods without offering a shot. Moments like that are what make Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia so unpredictable—you never know if it’ll be easy or if you’ll have to work for every opportunity.
Determined not to give up, Guide Kaleb took the hunters to a field that’s produced pigs right around daybreak before. Sure enough, history repeated itself. At 5:30 a.m., they located a Sounder of Hogs feeding in the field. Using Thermal, we closed the distance, made the stalk, and got one hog clean in the field. Another made it to the trees, but it crossed onto neighboring property where recovery wasn’t possible.
This South Georgia Hog Hunt proved why persistence pays off. Whether chasing single Boars or stalking into a Sounder, every Hog Hunt is a new memory. Guided Thermal Hunts with Hog SWAT are more than just Hunting—they’re about the challenge, the chase, and helping landowners with Feral Hog Control.

At Hog SWAT, every Thermal Hunt is different, and this one led by Guide Kaleb proved that persistence and patience make all the difference. This wasn’t like the last few Guided Hog Hunts—it required hard work, determination, and the ability to adapt in the field.
The first field of the night looked promising with a single hog out in the open. Just as the stalk began, a vehicle pulled into the field and spooked the pig, sending it back into cover. From there, the night seemed to shift, and the fields filled mostly with deer. Around 1 a.m., another single hog appeared, but before the hunters could get set up, it slipped away into the night.
As hours passed, the team stayed focused, even when hope started to fade. By 4 a.m., many thought the Boar Hunt was over, but Kaleb wasn’t ready to quit. He knew that hogs often move late, and sure enough, just before 5 a.m., he spotted a pig moving across the field. Some mistook it for a deer, but Kaleb quickly confirmed it was time to gear up.
The stalk took them through tall corn, making visibility tough. Just as the hunters were preparing, the hog closed the distance and came within about 30 yards, locking eyes with the group. There was no time for a long setup—the team acted fast, and with precision, they had success.
The excitement of that moment turned what seemed like a slow night into one packed with adrenaline, teamwork, and a story these hunters will never forget.
Every Georgia Hog Hunt is unique, and this one reminded us that patience in the field is always rewarded. Hog SWAT’s Thermal Hunting Trips are about more than just the pursuit—they’re about the adventure, the strategy, and the memories made along the way.
Thermal Hog Hunting

Guide Kaleb recently took a father and his two sons out for a Thermal Hog Hunt that started off slow, with little movement early on. Around 1 a.m., deer began to stir, but the Pigs stayed hidden. The group stayed focused and kept working the fields.
One of their last stops was a freshly cut field. After waiting patiently near a pivot, a lone sow finally stepped out under the moonlight. With deer all around, the stalk had to be slow and quiet—but the team moved perfectly.
At about 150 yards out, they got set up and made it happen. A quiet night turned into a successful one, and a great memory was made in the process.

There’s nothing better than making memories under the stars — and this recent Family Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT was one to remember. Guide Kaleb brought his dad and girlfriend along for a night of Crop Protection and Wild Hog Hunting, and the result was a peaceful, successful outing in the fields of South Georgia.
With patience, teamwork, and the help of Thermal, the crew was able to quietly close the distance on a pair of Wild Hogs. The end result? See for yourself. An unforgettable night of Thermal Hog Hunting shared with family.
At Hog SWAT, we believe Guided Hog Hunts are about more than just the outcome — they’re about moments like these.
Summer Hog Hunts In Georgia

Guide Kaleb led an unforgettable Bachelor Hunt recently. On just the second field of the night, the group spotted a Wild Hog in the back, with a large number of deer between them and their target. They carefully worked their way around most of the deer, but one caught wind and alerted the rest of the field. The Hog became cautious, but the group made a quick move and got into position. Everything came together perfectly. The rest of the night was full of wildlife sightings, including a special moment watching a group of pups—possibly coyotes—play together under the stars. Successful Hog Hunting.

Two Nights, Great Memories —
A Hunt with Guide Kaleb
Photo: Hog Hunting In South Georgia @HogSWAT
At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt has its own story—and sometimes, it’s the unpredictable nights that leave the strongest memories. Guide Kaleb recently led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt that brought its share of excitement, challenges, and a whole lot of laughter.
Night one started off slow, but momentum picked up when the group spotted a Lone Hog early on. The team worked together seamlessly, and it was one of those perfect moments that makes it all worthwhile. While the rest of the night was quiet on the fields, the energy stayed high. “Lots of laughs and great conversations,” Kaleb said. “These guys were awesome to spend the night Hunting Wild Hogs with.”
Night two kicked off with some early action as a Coyote came into a call. Chances were taken, but the coyote slipped away. Not long after, the crew got on a Sounder of Hogs that led them on a chase across the field—twice around a running pivot. Eventually, the group had a clear opportunity, and several Pigs were looked like they were almost re-homed, but none remained in the field. Later that night, they spotted another Group Of Wild Hogs, but a distant sound that i’m not allowed to say because google can be weird spooked the animals before anything could develop. To wrap things up, they pulled into one last field and spotted another Coyote in the Wild. A quick mouth call brought it in close, but once again, it managed to slip away.
Despite the wild ups and downs, the experience was everything a great Wild Hog Hunt should be. “These were some of the best guys I’ve guided yet,” Kaleb said. “Tons of laughs and some awesome memories made.”
At Hog SWAT, that’s what it’s all about—long nights, good people, and stories that’ll last well beyond the Hog Hunting Season.

A Wild Night in the Georgia Fields

Every Hog Hunt has its own story, and some nights play out like a scene from a movie. On a recent Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, Guide Hank led a group through an unforgettable night full of twists, turns, and the kind of unpredictable Wild Hog Action that keeps us coming back for more.
It all began around midnight when Hank spotted a Sounder in the distance. The team began a careful stalk, moving quietly through the Planted Field. But just as they were getting close, one sharp-eyed Pig caught a glimpse of movement and took off—leading the rest of the group deeper into the field.
Not ones to give up easily, Hank and the Hunters recalibrated and started a second approach. Confidence was high. Then, out of nowhere, two Coyotes came charging over the hill straight toward the Sounder Of Hogs. What could’ve ended the night actually turned into a wild advantage.
In a surprising twist, the Sows stood their ground and pushed back, creating a noisy standoff that distracted the group just long enough for Hank and the team to settle in and make the most of the opportunity. It was a moment that required patience, precision, and quick decision-making.
After that burst of action, the team continued scanning the fields until 4 a.m., soaking in the quiet beauty of rural South Georgia and the thrill of the chase. The night wrapped up with stories, laughs, and the satisfaction of a Wild Hog Hunt well executed.
Whether you’re a First-Time Hunter or a Seasoned Hunter , nights like these are what Hog SWAT is all about—real action, real strategy, and real memories.

A Night to Remember:
Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Kaleb
Some nights in the Planted Fields are packed with activity from the start. Others build anticipation until just the right moment. On a recent Hog SWAT Thermal Hunt, Guide Kaleb led a group through one of those slow-burn kind of nights—and it turned into an experience worth talking about.
“The night started off slow,” Kaleb said. “There were plenty of laughs and jokes being tossed around, but not much movement out in the fields.”
Even when the action takes its time, our team stays ready. Patience and persistence are key in this game, especially under the South Georgia stars. The team stayed alert, scanning the fields through Thermal, staying sharp despite the quiet.
Then, early in the morning, a single heat signature appeared.
“We spotted a Solo Hog moving through the brush,” Kaleb recalled. “We made a careful stalk—and it did not disappoint.”
That Lone Wild Hog sighting ended up being the only one of the night, but it made the entire evening worth it. Sometimes it just takes one encounter to turn a slow night into an unforgettable one.
At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is different. Whether the action is non-stop or the fields stay quiet until the last hour, our guides work hard to deliver a Hunting Experience you won’t forget. Shoutout to Kaleb for staying sharp and keeping the group engaged—even when the Wild Pigs play hard to get.
