Georgia Hog Hunts

Thermal Hog Hunting doesn’t always happen under perfect darkness. This 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT and Guide Zev was a textbook example of how adaptability wins Hog Hunts, even when conditions aren’t ideal.

Night 1 – When the Moon Works Against You

Night 1 felt closer to daylight than darkness. With an extremely bright moon overhead, hogs were on high alert. Two different sounders were located, but both reacted early, slipping away at long distances before a clean setup could develop.

Bright nights like this make hogs cautious and movement minimal. Rather than forcing bad opportunities, the decision was made to regroup, rethink the approach, and come back with a different plan for Night 2.

Night 2 – Adjust, Adapt, Execute

Night 2 brought the same bright conditions — but this time, the strategy changed.

Instead of fighting the moonlight, Zev leaned into slow movement, low profiles, and patience. The adjustment worked. A sounder was located, the approach stayed quiet, and the setup came together cleanly despite the visibility.

The result was a successful recovery and a night that wrapped up early — proof that smart tactics can overcome tough conditions.

Why This Hunt Matters

This 2-Night Hog Hunt highlights what Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia is all about:

• adapting to moonlight and pressure

• changing tactics instead of forcing chances

• staying patient until the right moment

Some nights are fast.
Some nights require crawling.
The best hunts reward those who adapt.
