📋 Night 2: Hog Hunting Field Report
Lead Guide: Jordan
Location: South Georgia (Sumter County Area)
Conditions: Clear, Thick Corn/Winter Wheat

Outcome: Two Large Sows Successfully Secured
If Night 1 of Guide Jordan’s recent 2-night Georgia Hog Hunting Trip was about the excitement of the find, Night 2 was a masterclass in strategy and persistence. Success in the Georgia outdoors requires working the angles, battling the terrain, and waiting for the perfect window to ensure a successful evening.
Coyote Hunting In Georgia
The evening started with a series of scouts across several active properties. While the main targets were staying quiet early on, the group spotted multiple coyotes. Jordan got the visitors positioned for a few opportunities for Hunting Coyotes, but the elusive predators managed to slip away into the darkness.
The Hog Hunting Approach
The momentum changed when Jordan spotted a large group of wild hogs deep in a cornfield. Because of the terrain and nearby structures, Jordan guided the team through a high-stakes, tactical walk-in. To ensure the best positioning, the group took the "hard route"—advancing cautiously along the east treeline to maintain a safe and effective vantage point.
The trek was intense. At one point, the group was incredibly close, moving quietly through the corn. The animals were vocal and agitated, but our team held their positions perfectly.
Securing the Wild Hog Harvest
Jordan predicted the group would move to the right once the action started, and his intuition was spot on. As the encounter unfolded, the team stayed composed under pressure. By the time the movement stopped, the team had successfully secured two large sows.
A Test of Grit In Hunting Hogs With Hog SWAT
Every Thermal Hog Hunting trip has its challenges, and this one was a testament to the determination of our guests. One of our visitors was back in the field after a major heart procedure—an incredible feat to be out navigating the thick Georgia cornfields. Because of the physical nature of the trek and the size of the collection, the team focused on processing the harvest right there in the field.
