2 nights of Hog Hunting

Hunting in Americus, Georgia isn’t about guaranteed results — it’s about adapting to real conditions in real farmland. This 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, led by Guide Zev, was a perfect example of that reality.

Night 1 – Wind & Quiet Fields

Night 1 brought strong winds across South Georgia, which can completely shut hog movement down. Even the most productive fields stayed quiet as hogs remained tucked into cover, waiting out the weather. Despite covering ground and staying patient, no hog opportunities presented themselves.

Windy nights like this are common in Americus and the surrounding farmland — and every experienced hunter knows that when the wind doesn’t cooperate, animals often don’t move.

Night 2 – Capitalizing When It Counts

Conditions improved slightly on Night 2, and persistence finally paid off. Zev located a small group of hogs working a field, creating the first real opportunity of the Hog Hunt. The setup came together cleanly, and one hog was successfully recovered.

While the night didn’t produce nonstop action, it delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is about:
• staying committed through slow nights
• reading changing conditions
• and capitalizing when the moment finally comes

Why Americus, GA Is Hog Country

Americus, Ga sits in the heart of South Georgia farm country, where hog movement is heavily influenced by wind, pressure, crops, and weather shifts. Some nights are fast and chaotic. Others are slow and technical. That’s what makes Hog Hunting here authentic — and why Hog SWAT focuses on honest, no-guarantee hunts.

Two nights.
Changing conditions.
One hard-earned hog.
