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.
Georgia Hog Hunting

The second night of this 2-Night Hog Hunt showed just how unpredictable Wild Hogs can be. The Hog Hunters started the evening sitting over a field, where plenty of deer and critters kept the night lively.
Around 2:30 a.m., two Hogs finally appeared. The deer in the field ended up spooking them and pushing them farther away, but the hunters stayed patient and made a move. They set up for a chance a little farther than normal and made contact with both pigs, but the hogs managed to slip into cover before they could be recovered.
Even without hogs to show, it was still a Thermal Hog Hunt full of action, close calls, and long hours under Thermal. That’s the reality of South Georgia Hog Hunting—sometimes the win comes in the chase itself.
Every night in the field adds to the experience, and with Feral Hogs, no two Guided Hog Hunts are ever the same.

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.

Two Nights in the Field:
A Hog Hunt with Zev
Hunting Wild Hogs at night is about patience, awareness, and learning how to move through the dark without giving yourself away. Guide Zev recently took a group of 3 Hunters out for a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and while the first night tested their persistence, the second night proved to be a lesson in both skill and success.
Night 1:
Tough Luck and Coyotes
The first night out, the Hogs were nowhere to be found. That’s the reality of Hog Hunting—some nights they’re out in force, and other nights they vanish like ghosts. To break up the slow night, we tried to set up on two separate Coyotes. But let’s just say… things didn’t go as planned. Between movement, positioning, and the learning curve of Night Hunting, things happen not how we planned.
Night 2:
Pigs Down and Lessons Learned

With the frustration of night one behind them, the guys came back determined. It paid off early when we saw a Lone Pig, and success. But the real action came later in the night when we spotted a Sounder. This time, we moved better, stalked quieter, and moved without getting caught by Wild Hogs. When the moment came, they connected—one Pig Down from the group.
We did lots of walking. Moving through open fields during night isn’t the same as walking through the fields during the day. Every step has to be intentional, every movement controlled. By night two, they had it figured out.
In the end, two Wild Pigs took a nap, and these Hog Hunters walked away with more than just harvest—they left with a deeper understanding of the Thermal Hunt. And next time, those Coyotes might not be so lucky.

From Coyotes to Hogs:
A Three-Night Thermal Hunt with Guide Zev
Not every Hog Hunt goes as planned, but that’s what makes it exciting. Guide Zev recently led a 2 Night Hog Hunt for a group of three Hunters, and it turned into an adventure they won’t forget.
Night One:
When the Hogs Don’t Show, the Coyotes Will

The first night, the hunters covered ground, scanning field after field, but the Hogs weren’t moving. That’s when the hunt took an unexpected turn - a Coyote stepped into range.
Thermal Hog Hunt? Not quite. Predator Hunt? Absolutely.
If you’ve never Hunted Coyotes, you’re missing out. These fast, Elusive Predators make for an exciting challenge, and the Hog Hunters made the most of the opportunity. First success of the Hunting Trip.
Night Two:
Back on Track

With a Coyote but no Wild Hogs yet, night two was all about redemption. Guide Zev put in the work, adjusting tactics and covering new ground. Then, finally - Pigs on the move.
The Coyote Hunters wasted no time, and success a Wild Hog. Just like that, the hunt was back on track.
The Challenge of Thermal Hog Hunting
Hog Hunting with Thermal is one of the most exciting and challenging hunts you’ll find. Wild Hogs are smart, tough, and unpredictable. Some nights, they keep you guessing. Other nights, you’re right on top of them. That’s what makes it Thermal Hunting.
At Hog SWAT, we know the game. Whether it turns into a Coyote Hunt or we’re chasing down pigs, every Wild Hog Hunt is an adrenaline-packed adventure. Book your Guided Hog Hunt today and see for yourself!

At Hog SWAT, we love seeing Families Hunt together. There’s something special about watching a father and his sons out in the field, learning the patience, discipline, and excitement that come with the Hunt. On a recent two-night Hunting Adventure, Guide Hank led a Father-son Hunting Trip on a Hog Hunt that was full of lessons, strategy, and — most importantly —success.
Night 1:
A Bonus Hog with No Dragging

The first night started strong with one Hog Down early on. The Hunters got a second chance, but it made a break for the woods. Just when they thought the night was over, another Pig popped up in the field on the way back to the van. Success agian. We’ll call that a win-win.
Night 2:
Quick Thinking, Quick Shooting

The second night started with a bit of luck. While driving past a field, Hank Spotted Pigs right by the road. Wasting no time, they turned around, pulled in, and set up behind the van for cover. Just as they were getting ready, a couple of passing vehicles lit them up with headlights - an unexpected obstacle, but the Wild Pigs didn’t bolt. The Hog Hunters had success two more Wild Hogs before the Sounder scattered.
Hunting Builds Character

This father and his sons didn’t just bring home hogs - they shared a Hunting Experience they’ll remember forever. At Hog SWAT, we believe Hunting teaches responsibility, patience, and resilience. It’s about passing down skills and values that turn young men into men.

Guide Hank led a group of eager Hunters on a 1 Night Hog Hunt at Hog SWAT. With a father and his two sons in tow, the Hunt promised to be an exciting adventure in the wilderness.
As the night unfolded, Guide Hank found himself doing a lot of walking, scouting the field for any signs of Wild Hogs. To his delight, the Pigs walked out in front of him, presenting the perfect opportunity for a successful Hog Hunt. Guide Luke had to think on his feet and sneak around the Swine to make his way back to the Hunting Van, where he prepared the Hunters for their mission.
With the Hunters ready and armed, Luke led them back out into the field and successfully took down a Pig. The group decided to call it a night after that, opting to rest up for their drive home in the morning. It was a night of great success for Guide Luke and his team, as they bonded over their shared love for hunting and the thrill of the chase.
