We just wrapped up an incredible 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt here in Americus GA. After a solid first night, the team headed back out to face some challenging conditions. While the evening started slow with heavy fog rolling into the fields, our thermal gear allowed us to cut through and find where the Wild Boars were hiding.
The highlight of this night of Wild Hog Hunting was an intense engagement at one of our southern properties where the team successfully secured 6 pigs in a single go-around. The action was fast-paced, with the group working together to manage the harvest while scouting for the rest of the sounder. Later in the night, a great tip led us to another group of pigs where we added 2 more to the tally, bringing our Night 2 total to 8.
Combined with the 6 hogs from the previous session, this group finished their trip with a total of 14 Wild Hogs harvested! We are extremely grateful we got to take these guys out for the full experience. It was a pleasure having them on the Guided Hog Hunt, and we hope they had a blast with the Best Hog Hunting outfit in Georgia.

The Night Hog Hunting kicked off with plenty of movement as we navigated various terrains in Americus GA. After scouting several properties, we coordinated with Guide Noah to locate a large single boar. Using our AGM Thermal gear, we executed a successful Spot And Stalk Hunting, closing the distance to 100 yards and securing the first harvest of the night.
Later in the shift, we located a sounder of over 10 Wild Hogs positioned in the center of a large field. This setup required extreme discipline; because most of the group was lined up with an irrigation pivot, we had to carefully select targets in a safe chance lane to the left. The team initiated a 400-yard stalk and engaged, successfully tagging their targets during a high-speed encounter.
Despite the late hour, our guests' enthusiasm kept us in the field until past 5:00 AM, checking every possible acre for activity. We are grateful we got to take such a dedicated group out with us. It was a pleasure having them in the field, and we hope they had an unforgettable experience Hog Hunting in Georgia!

The night began with a strategic choice. After spotting multiple groups of Wild Hogs, the team decided to pursue a pair of hogs nearby rather than risk alerting a larger sounder further out. Through steady coordination and follow-up chances, they successfully secured the first harvest of the night Hog Hunting.
Later, the group located a large single boar and initiated a 250-yard Spot And Stalk. After the initial engagement, the team showed great persistence, tracking the Wild Boar and securing the second harvest at long range. We ended the night with two successful harvests and a lot of ground covered. We are grateful we got to take these guys out and hope they had a great time experiencing Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia!

This is the start of a 2 Night Hog Hunt! This Thermal Hog Hunt started the night with a successful stalk on a single in the north fields, followed by another successful harvest near the woodline at our second location. Using our thermal, we tracked a large sounder that eventually moved onto our property near a pivot system. After waiting for a safe chance window, the team engaged and secured their third pig of the night.
We ended the morning with 3 pigs down! We are extremely grateful we got to take these guys out in the field with us. It was a pleasure having them on night 1 of this Wild Hog Hunt. Let’s see what night 2 brings!

This one-night Hog Hunt in Georgia started with guide Jordan checking the first two fields. On the second field he originally saw nothing, but from the top of the van he noticed some very faint signatures about 1,000 yards out. He decided to investigate the far side of the field.
They walked to where the signatures were and were able to spot the tops of pigs. He grabbed the guys and they stalked toward them, finding a group of about 10 pigs at the field edge. They closed to roughly 100 yards and took our first chance — one pig dropped. Two more were picked off on the run. The fourth was an injured pig that settled on the right side of the field; they finished it there. After taking pictures and butchering the pigs, they checked a few more fields and saw nothing.
Next they checked the field northwest of that one, which had been absolutely destroyed by Wild Hogs. They spotted a single pig and took care of business from about 100 yards. Then parked the van between two fields and walked the circular field, where he spotted a lone hog about 800 yards from the van. Jordan brought the team back; only two shooters thistle. They set up at roughly 100 yards and were confident the pig would fall with one chance. The first chance didn’t drop him; he ran toward the woods, but before he reached cover, one hunter made an excellent leading chance and dropped the hog — exactly as Guide Jordan taught: place the outer edge on the nose and lead a running hog correctly.
They took pictures, and checked a few fields and finally headed home. In total, six pigs were taken on this Thermal Hog Hunting trip with Hog S.W.A.T. We hope the guests had a great time and that they’ll come back. Book your Wild Hog Hunt with Hog S.W.A.T. today!
3 NIGHTS OF HOG HUNTING
PHOTO: Thermal Hog Hunts In Georgia @HogSWAT
Spotted a large sounder on an adjacent field to one we Hunt. We knew they were headed our way to tear up a freshly planted field corn field. We waited patiently and after an hour or so they finally started to head over. Property lines and permission to hunt fields is a sacred thing. Harassing hogs on another farmers land is also not permitted. It sucks to do the right thing but the most over looked part about hunting is being patient. We know the hogs are coming out, we just don’t know when. Hogs are unpredictable except for one thing, they need to eat. Grateful to have this father and son duo Hog Hunting with us for the past 3 days. They stacked up 13 with hands on and probably more that made it to the woods.
First Time Night Hog Hunting

Chris and Preston were able to get 3 hogs on thier first ever Thermal Hog Hunt out of Americus, Georgia. Guide Noah was able to get them on a sounder of hogs to start the night, 3 were taken out of the group. Then a 2nd sounder was spotted with shots off and another 3 hogs taken down. Great work

5 down for the night after checking multiple planted corn fields. Was able to drop 3 on out of 7+ but most of the Hogs were small in that sounder We were able to use the wood line as a back drop to get with in 80 yards. The second encounter we were able to recover 2 out of 15+ with more wounded but making it to the woods. Full moon nights make it easier to stalk in fields, but using terrain and contours of land are a huge part of hunting at night. While most people think hogs can’t see at night you would be shocked at the distances hogs and hunters can see at night.

The Core of Our Georgia Hog Hunting
When you book a 1 Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, you aren't just paying for access to fields; you are paying for professional tactical hog hunting oversight. Thermal Hog Hunting in the varied terrain of South GA requires intense focus and a guide who knows how to navigate complex environments to ensure a successful harvest.
Spot and Stalk Hog Hunting
On a recent night led by Guide Jordan, the team located a sounder of Wild Hogs positioned near a cluster of farm buildings. Because we hunt on active agricultural land, our guides perform a full environmental briefing before every Spot And Stalk Hog Hunting.
Jordan identified the safest lane for engagement and coached the hunter into a prime position using our Thermal gear. By setting up the tripod for maximum stability and identifying the target clearly, the guest was able to successfully secure a harvest on a Wild Boar. At Hog SWAT, we believe the Best Hog Hunting happens when preparation meets the right opportunity, and this first success set a great tone for the night.
The Intensity of the Sounder Stalk
Later in the evening, the team used their thermal to locate a massive sounder of approximately 30 pigs moving through a southern field. This is the heart of Unlimited Hog Hunting—finding the large groups that cause the most significant damage to Georgia farmers.
Jordan led a stealthy Spot And Stalk to within 100 yards of the massive group. While the pigs were alert and eventually managed to evade the group into a low spot, the experience of being that close to 30 Wild Boars is an adrenaline rush you can only find with a premier Georgia Hog Hunting outfitter. Our guides work tirelessly to put you in the right spot, managing the wind and the terrain until the very last field of the night.
Nightly FAQ
Q: How do you choose which fields to hunt for Wild Boar Hunting? A: We stay mobile! At Hog SWAT, the Best Hog Hunting happens when you go where the pigs are. We check multiple properties throughout the night to find active sounders. You can Learn More About How We Hog Hunt to see our scouting strategy.
Q: What if I have trouble finding the pigs in the thermal? A: Our guides are experts at "coaching" you onto the target. Whether it's your first time Hog Hunting In Georgia or you're a seasoned pro, we will help you set up your equipment and focus your thermal so you have a clear view of the Wild Hogs.

Hog Hunt Starting Strong
Photo: Georgia Boar Hunting @HogSWAT
Guide Noah started the night at Preston Field under a bright 1/4 moon. Despite the extra light, the team used the terrain to stay hidden. They spotted two Wild Hogs right at the start of the night. Using a high-precision Spot And Stalk, they moved within 100 yards. The hunter stayed calm and successfully secured the first harvest of the night—a great start to this Georgia Hog Hunting trip.
Photo: Thermal Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
After checking 3 fields, the team moved toward another Field. This was a true test of stealth. With no moonlight but plenty of noise from the dry corn stalks, Noah led a massive 1,000-yard stalk, cutting the distance down to just 50 yards! The team engaged a large sounder and successfully secured another harvest.
Ending the Morning with a Bang
The night took a brief tactical turn as Noah stopped to assist Guide Jordan with a vehicle recovery (proving once again that the Hog SWAT team always has each other's backs!). Afterward, the team headed to Israel’s field for two more opportunities. While the Wild Boars in those fields were elusive and managed to evade the group, the adrenaline was high until the very end.
It was a successful solo 1 Night Hog Hunt that proved why Thermal Hog Hunting is the most exciting way to experience the Georgia outdoors.

Every night in the fields of South GA brings a different challenge. Whether it’s wary Wild Boars or the unpredictable terrain of a farmer's field, being the Best Hog Hunting outfitter means knowing how to handle whatever the night throws at you.
The Sounder Success
Photo: Hog Hunting Georgia @HogSWAT
The night kicked off with scouts at a few fields before the team moved to the next field. Using our Thermal, Guide Jordan spotted a large sounder in the center of the field. The team began a precise Spot And Stalk, closing the distance to about 100 yards.
As the team moved in, the Wild Hogs gathered in a defensive cluster. The group engaged the sounder, and through steady coordination, they successfully secured a harvest. After the excitement of the engagement, the team handled the field prep and began moving to the next location.
Teamwork and Terrain in Americus, Georgia
The "South Georgia Mud" is a real factor in Nighttime Hog Hunting. While moving between fields, the lead van found a soft spot in the road. Despite a valiant effort with the recovery tracks, the mud held firm. This is where the Hog SWAT team shines—Guide Noah quickly arrived to assist. We prioritized the guests' experience, transferred the gear, and continued the Guided Hog Hunting adventure without missing a beat.
The rest of the night was spent tracking a single boar on the another property. Between a coyote and the rolling "low spots" of the terrain, the Wild Boar proved elusive. We tracked it using a pivot for a higher vantage point, but the pig eventually vanished into the woodline just as the sun began to peek over the horizon. It was a long, hard-fought night that showed exactly what it takes to provide Unlimited Hog Hunting opportunities.
Nightly FAQ
Q: What happens if the weather or terrain gets tough during a hunt? A: That is the benefit of a professional Hunting Company. Our guides are trained to handle vehicle recoveries, shifting weather, and changing animal patterns. We stay focused on the Spot And Stalk so you can focus on the harvest. You can Learn More About How We Hog Hunt to see our recovery protocols.

The night began with a strategic scout of a few fields. After performing a "dirty zero" to ensure all AGM Thermal equipment was perfectly calibrated and conducting a thorough safety briefing, the team moved toward Wilmar.
Spot And Stalk Wild Boar Hunting requires patience, and it paid off at another field. Noah located a large sounder of Wild Hogs moving through the field. Under his leadership, the group successfully engaged the sounder and secured a two-pig harvest. This is a fantastic result for a first solo outing and a testament to the Georgia Hog Hunting skills Noah has mastered.
The Stealth of the Spot And Stalk Wild Hog Hunting
After handling the field prep for the harvest, the team continued their search for hogs. They spotted a solo Wild Boar and began a stealthy approach. They managed to get within 100 yards, but the pig remained alert and eventually retreated into the woodline.
While not every stalk ends in a harvest, the ability to track and get within range of these wary animals is what makes Hog SWAT the top choice for Wild Boar Hunts. Noah’s ability to manage the wind and the terrain shows he is ready to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience.
Nightly FAQ

Hog Hunting Summary

Hunt Type: 2 Night Hog Hunt
Harvest Total: 2 Wild Boars
Equipment: AGM Thermal
Location: Fields in Americus, Georgia

Night 1: The Challenges of Nighttime Hog Hunting
Our first night of this Guided Hog Hunting trip proved why Wild Boars are such respected opponents. We started at Wilmar, where a single pig was spotted near the woodline. Despite a stealthy approach, the shifting winds in South GAmade it difficult to close the distance.
In Thermal Hog Hunting, the wind is everything. We moved to the another Field and located a sounder near a watering hole, but the group caught our scent and retreated. While we had an engagement opportunity near the farm buildings later that night, the tall grass made for a difficult connection. It was a tough reminder that even with the best AGM Thermalgear, the animals sometimes have the upper hand.
Night 2: Securing the Harvest in South GA

The second night of this 2 Night Hog Hunt was a complete turnaround. After scouting a few fields—where we even spotted some Coyotes — we moved to Oscar’s field. Which Hog Hunts sometimes turn into Coyote Hunting.
Photo: Wild Boar Hunting @HogSWAT
Our team spotted a single Wild Boar on the back corner. Because the wind was tricky, Guide Jordan led a massive 700-yard Spot And Stalk to stay downwind. The patience paid off. We moved within 100 yards and successfully secured the harvest. After completing the field prep, we moved to another field where we tracked another single. After a 150-yard stalk, the group successfully got their second boar of the night.
This is why we recommend the multi-night packages; it gives you the best chance for Unlimited Hog Hunting success. Feel free to Learn More About 2 Night Hog Hunts to see why more time in the field leads to better results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How far do you usually walk during a Spot And Stalk Wild Boar Hunting trip? A: It varies!

We recommend guests check our What To Bring page to ensure they have comfortable, and quiet boots for trekking through Georgia Hog Hunting terrain.
Q: Do we hunt more than one location per night? A: Absolutely. At Hog SWAT, the Best Hog Hunting happens when you stay mobile. We check multiple farms like Wilmar, Oscar’s, and Eddie’s to find where the Wild Hogs are active. You can Learn More About How We Hog Hunt by visiting our strategy page.

It isn't enough to just have AGM Thermal gear; our guides train constantly to master the terrain around Americus, Georgia, ensuring your success and safety.
Inside Our Nightly Guide Training
This past hunt you see pictured wasn't with customers. Senior Guide Max and Jordan took new guide-in-training, Noah, out into the fields of South GA. This dedicated night was strictly for training, observation, and perfecting the specialized Spot And Stalk method that Hog SWAT is famous for.
Training in the exact environment where we host our 1 Night Hog Hunts and 2 Night Hog Hunts ensures that every guide, new or experienced, understands the patterns of the Wild Hogs. They study the wind, the complex thermal technology, and the best ways to safely secure a harvest for our clients.

The Science of Spot And Stalk in South GA
A successful harvest on a No Limit Hog Hunt doesn't happen by accident. We use our training nights to map different fields and predict where sounders will travel.
Unlike basic, stationary hunting, our Spot And Stalk Wild Boar Hunting requires intense physical skill and stealth. It demands an understanding of the technology we use and the behavior of the pigs.

Hog SWAT Frequently Asked Questions

📋 Field Report: Tactical Night Operation
Lead Guide: Hank (In coordination with Guide Jordan)
Location: South Georgia Agriculture Belt
Primary Gear: AGM Thermal
Hunting: Wild Boar & Coyote (Simultaneous Engagement)
Outcome: Successful Boar Harvest / Predator Control Initiative
When you book a Hunting Trip with the Best Hog Hunting Company, you have to be ready for the unpredictable. This recent night with Guide Hank started as a routine transit between fields but quickly turned into one of the most high-adrenaline stalks of the Hog Hunting Season.
The "Odd Field" Hog Hunting Discovery
While en route to rendezvous with Guide Jordan for a combined sounder sweep, Hank decided to check an "odd field"—a property that isn't always active but can hold surprises. His intuition paid off immediately when his Thermal picked up a massive solo boar roaming the open ground.
Hunting in the Field: Coyote Hunting
As the team began their stealthy approach, the situation shifted instantly. A Coyote emerged from the brush, charging toward the boar and nearly spooking the target before the hunters could get into position. This is where the Thermal Hunting experience of a Hog SWAT guide becomes invaluable.
The team had to move in a rush to set up before the predator "messed with the pig" and ruined the opportunity. With two different species in the frame, the decision was made to engage both simultaneously—a high-stakes maneuver that requires perfect coordination.
Hunting Wild Hogs
On the count of three, chances were made at both the coyote and the Boar. While the "ghost of the woods" managed to slip away into the shadows, the team remained locked on the primary target. The Wild Boar was successfully secured on the spot, turning a chaotic encounter into a textbook harvest.
This level of rapid-response Hog Hunting is exactly why we are the top choice for Night Hog Hunts in Georgia. We don't just sit and wait; we Wild Hog Hunt with an aggressive, tactical mindset that turns every "odd field" into a potential victory.
🐺 Why Thermal Predator Hunting Matters
In Georgia, managing the coyote population is just as important as controlling the invasive wild boar. When you hunt with Hog SWAT, you are participating in a professional land management program. Whether we are clearing sounders or intercepting predators, our Thermal Gear ensures that we see everything moving in the Georgia Night. That’s why Coyote Hunting and Boar Hunting is important.

📋 Field Report: Night hog Hunting
Lead Guide: Jordan
Location: Americus, Georgia (Sumter County)
Equipment: AGM Thermal
Outcome: Two Successful Harvests + Multiple Stalks
When people say we offerHog Hunting in Georgia, they’re talking about nights like this. Sometimes the action happens before you even step out of the van, and other times it requires a stealthy, move through the corn.
Immediate Engagement: The 5-Foot Encounter
The night started with a scenario you couldn't script. As we pulled up to the first field, a single was spotted running right toward the van. There was no time for tripods or traditional setups. The group reacted instantly, getting into position just 5 feet from the vehicle.
Thanks to our high-mobility setup, the team was able to secure the first harvest of the night before the engine was even cool. It was a perfect example of why Night Hog Hunts require constant readiness.
Hog Hunting in the Georgia Corn
As the night progressed, the strategy shifted from rapid response to stealth. At a nearby property, Jordan located another single in the middle of a field. This required a complex approach—navigating through the corn rows to ensure a safe shooting angle away from local residences.
While the noise of the corn eventually alerted the target, this stalk demonstrated the discipline required for Wild Boar Hunting near agricultural areas. We prioritize safety and precision, even when it means the target slips away.
The Midnight Hunt Grind: Persistence Pays Off
The middle of the night was a "grind," with Jordan scanning several properties and sitting on fields for up to 40 minutes to track movement. We even had a close encounter with a coyote that ran right up to the van, mirroring our first encounter of the night. Which we do Hunt Coyotes In Georgia.
The breakthrough came at the Israel properties. After a close chance on one field, the team moved to the next set of plantings. Jordan led a 100-yard stalk through the corn, where the hunters stayed composed and successfully dropped a second single on the first chance.
Why the Hog Hunting Experience Matters
While some nights feature massive sounders, others are about the individual stalks and the quiet intensity of the Georgia night. At Hog SWAT, we provide the Best Hog Hunting in Georgia by staying in the field until every opportunity is exhausted. From "drive-by" encounters to deep-field stalks, we ensure our guests experience the full spectrum of the Wild Hog Hunt.
🐗 Frequently Asked Questions: Thermal Night Hog Hunting
How close do you usually get to the Wild Hogs? It varies! We’ve had successful harvests from 50 yards away up to 100+ yards. Our thermal gear allows us to adapt to whatever the animal gives us. Every approach is different, we will get as close as we can. Being spotted by the wild hogs is our main concern.
Is it common to see other wildlife like coyotes? Absolutely. While we focus on Wild Boar Hunting, our thermal frequently pick up coyotes, deer, bobcats, armadillos, and other nocturnal wildlife, making every night a unique South Georgia safari experience.

📋 Field Report: Night Operations
Lead Guide: Jordan
Location: South Georgia (Americus Georgia)
Equipment: High-Resolution Thermal Equipment
Strategy: High-Mobility Field Rotation
Outcome: Successful Single Harvest After Extensive Tracking
The best Thermal Hog Hunting isn't always about the easy finds; it’s about the work put in when the sounders are being elusive. Guide Jordan’s recent Hog Hunt was a masterclass for Thermal Hunting, covering thousands of acres and rotating through multiple properties to ensure his guests didn't go home empty-handed.
Advanced Thermal Tracking
The night began with high-action potential as Jordan’s Thermal Imaging picked up a sounder in a large basin. Despite a tactical approach, the group slipped into the timber before a window opened. In Wild Boar Hunting, timing is everything, and when the animals are on the move, you have to be ready to pivot.
Jordan led the team through an intensive rotation, checking high-activity zones across multiple systems. From the Faceville area to the Mercer fields, the team utilized their Thermal Gear to scan every treeline and open acre. Even when a single traveler managed to reach the safety of the woods just in time, the team stayed focused on the next opportunity.
Strategic Positioning Hog Hunting
The breakthrough came near the end of the shift. While scanning a perimeter near a residence, Jordan located a single hog moving close to a group of deer.
Because of the proximity to the home and a barking dog nearby, Jordan had to be incredibly strategic with the setup. He positioned the hunters just over 100 yards out, ensuring a safe and effective angle. When the moment arrived, the team stayed composed. While the first connection sent the animal on a run, the follow-up chance quickly got the Wild Pig, securing a hard-earned success for the night.
Why Hog SWAT is the Top Choice for Night Hog Hunts?
This Thermal Hunting Trip is a perfect example of why we are considered to provide the Best Hog Hunting in the United States. Jordan pushed through a dozen different properties to find that one winning window.
Whether the sounders are out in the open or hiding in the shadows, our team has the grit and the thermal technology to stay on the trail until the job is done.
🐗 Frequently Asked Questions: Thermal Hog Hunts
How many fields do you check on a typical night? As Jordan showed on this trip, we will check as many fields as necessary to find activity. Our high-mobility approach is a core part of our Guided Hog Hunting Trips.
What is the "bowl" or "basin" strategy? When we spot animals in low-lying areas, we use the terrain to mask our approach. This is a key part of our thermal hog hunting tactics to get guests as close as possible before the action starts.

📋 Night 2: Hog Hunting Field Report
Lead Guide: Jordan
Location: South Georgia (Sumter County Area)
Conditions: Clear, Thick Corn/Winter Wheat
Equipment: High-Resolution Thermal
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.
FAQ About Night Hog Hunting in Georgia
What is the best time of year for a 2-night hunt in Georgia? While activity happens year-round, each season has its perks. We have to hunt year round to insure the farm fields are protected.

When you book a Large Group Hog Hunt with us, you get the full power of our professional staff. Guide Jordan led one wing of our 6-hunter group for a night of Thermal Hog Hunting. The evening kicked off with a few nuisance beavers before transitioning into a primary Wild Hog Hunting mission.
Despite the challenges of a bright, moonlit night, the team utilized tactical spacing to stay hidden in the open fields. Using our advanced Night Hog Hunts gear, they successfully stalked a Lone Boar, closing the distance to 150 yards for a clean recovery.
The highlight of the night came when Jordan and Max synchronized their groups for a massive joint-effort stalk. After spotting a large sounder on a 30-acre tract, both guides coordinated their hunters for a synchronized approach. This is where Georgia Guided Hog Hunting really shines—seeing a large group move as one unit to secure three additional recoveries. It was a 'Great Success' that proved why we offer the Best Hog Hunts for anyone wanting to bring the whole crew into the field!

There is something special about Georgia Night Hog Hunting just after a fresh rain. Guide Max led a recent session where the damp air and bright moonlight created the perfect atmosphere for an elite Wild Hog Hunting experience. While the movement started off slow, the team’s persistence paid off as they located a group of three hogs and successfully secured a recovery.
At Hog SWAT, we know that for many of our guests, the Best Hog Hunting experience doesn't end in the field. This group is walking away with more than just a great story; we are processing their harvest into premium Cheddar Jalapeño and Maple links. Along with the custom sausage, they’ve requested a professional Euro mount to commemorate their Hog Hunting success.
Whether you are here for the high-octane action of Thermal Hog Hunts or you’re looking to stock your freezer with the best organic meat, we take pride in every step of the process. It’s always 'fun shooting stuff,' but it’s even better when that Guided Hog Hunting trip results in a trophy on the wall and a feast on the table
