Not every Hog Hunt happens on a calm, clear night — and that’s part of what makes Hog Control effective.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia began under heavy rain, forcing constant adjustments from the very start. Wet ground, reduced visibility, and shifting movement patterns meant every decision had to be made carefully and deliberately.

Early in the night, Wild Hogs were located near open ground alongside deer. Initial chances connected, but the presence of deer moving into the area required the team to pause rather than push the situation — a reminder that Hog Hunting at Night means knowing when not to continue.

As the night progressed, continued scanning revealed additional hog movement near tree lines and field edges. What started as a stalk on individual animals quickly turned into an opportunity on a nearby sounder. Adjusting plans on the fly, the group closed distance and executed a controlled setup despite rain and wind.

One hog was successfully recovered after covering significant ground, demonstrating how persistence and tracking matter just as much as the initial opportunity.

The remainder of the night was spent checking additional areas as weather slowly improved. While activity tapered off, the Hunt reflected exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia looks like— adapting to conditions, making smart calls, and staying disciplined when the situation demands it.

Boar Hunting

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Americus, Georgia with Hog SWAT brought a unique start to the night.

James had been down in Florida chasing blue catfish and decided to make the most of the trip by heading north for a Night of Hog Hunting in South Georgia. The decision paid off quickly.

The Wild Hog Hunt kicked off strong when the first field revealed a sounder of hogs, creating an immediate opportunity. The setup came together efficiently, resulting in a sow recovered early in the night.

As the night went on, additional hogs were located, but they stayed on the move and slipped out of the fields before a clean setup could develop. After covering ground and making several stalk attempts, the group headed back toward the van — only to spot a large boar roughly 200 yards away.

With no time to waste, the stalk was on.

As the group closed the distance, the Wild Boar became alert and began moving toward cover. James stayed composed and made his first chance at approximately 100 yards, followed by a second chance after the boar briefly stopped farther out, ending the night with an exciting finish.

From early sounder action to a long-range boar encounter, the Hunt delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is known for — unpredictability, fast decisions, and memorable moments in the field.

A great One-Night Hunt in the books, and Hog SWAT was proud to be part of James’ South Georgia Hunting experience.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT was a perfect example of why persistence is one of the most important parts of Hog Hunting.

The night started slow, with multiple fields checked and limited hog movement early on. Conditions stayed challenging, and as the hours passed without a solid opportunity, patience was tested — something every experienced hunter understands happens on real, no-guarantee Hog Hunts.

Rather than calling it early, Guide Zev made the decision to check one more field. That decision paid off.

Late in the night, a sounder of hogs was located, creating the opportunity the group had been waiting for. The setup came together cleanly, the momentum shifted instantly, and the night finished on a high note.

Hunts like this highlight exactly what thermal hog hunting is about:

  • staying committed when the night is quiet

  • trusting the process

  • and being ready when opportunity finally shows itself

Some nights start fast.
Some nights finish strong.
Both are part of Thermal Hog Hunting.

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.

Night 2: Georgia Boar Hunt

Wild Boar Hunting

Photo: Is This A Boar Tusk? @HogSWAT lol

Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT came down to one thing: Boar Hunting done the right way.

Boars don’t move like sounders.
They don’t linger.
And they rarely give more than one real opportunity.

On this night, Guide Zev covered ground across South Georgia, checking fields and staying patient until the right hog finally showed itself. Eventually, a Lone Boar stepped out — the kind of pig that makes the long drives and late hours worth it.

Boar Hunting in Georgia is a different game entirely. Mature Boars are solitary, cautious, and incredibly tough. They rely on experience and instinct, often appearing briefly before disappearing just as fast. Finding one requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to put in the miles.

When the opportunity came together, the setup was clean and decisive. The boar was successfully recovered, marking a strong finish to the two-night Hog Hunt and a perfect example of why Thermal Hog Hunting is so effective for targeting smart, elusive boars.

Not every night brings nonstop action — but nights like this remind us why we Wild Hog Hunt.
One pig.
One opportunity.
One solid boar.

Guided Hog Hunting In Georgia

Night 1 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia got off to a solid start with Guide Zev leading the way for Hog SWAT.

The first major encounter of the night came with a Large Sounder of Feral Hogs, offering the kind of opportunity Thermal Hog Hunters hope for. With steady setups and clear communication, two hogs were successfully recovered from the group — a strong opening to the Guided Hog Hunt and a reminder of how effective Thermal Hunting can be when hogs are grouped up and actively feeding.

Later in the night, Zev located a Lone Hog in a separate area. Singles can be some of the most challenging animals to Hunt — constantly moving, cautious, and unpredictable. Even so, the team was able to make the most of the opportunity and connect on the hog.

While the night didn’t involve nonstop action, it delivered exactly what Hog Hunting is about:
• finding pigs naturally
• adapting to different hog behaviors
• and capitalizing on the opportunities that present themselves

Night 1 wrapped up with multiple hog recoveries, setting a solid foundation for Night 2 and whatever challenges the next evening might bring.

At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is different — and that’s what makes Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia such a rewarding experience.

Night 2

Close Calls, Perfect Wind, and the Reality of the Hunt

Night 2 of this two-night hunt with Hog SWAT delivered exactly what hunting so often does — close encounters, perfect conditions, and moments where timing matters most.

The night started strong with a single hog feeding in the middle of an open field. After repositioning to close the distance, the stalk came together cleanly. The wind was perfect, movement was quiet, and the team closed in to roughly 70–80 yards. The setup was solid, but the opportunity slipped away when the shots didn’t connect.

Later in the night, another single hog appeared while crossing an open field. Jordan quickly got the hunters into position and waited patiently for the pig to turn broadside — exactly what you want on a setup like that. Just as the countdown began, a shot went early and the hog disappeared into the darkness.

From there, the team continued covering ground and checking productive areas, but the fields stayed quiet. No additional hogs showed themselves for the remainder of the night.

That’s hunting.

Sometimes everything lines up — the wind, the approach, the setup — and it still doesn’t end with a recovery. Every hunter, regardless of experience or species, has nights like this. What matters is effort, patience, and understanding that success isn’t guaranteed.

Jordan stayed focused until the very end, giving the hunt everything he had across both nights. The hunters stayed positive, trusted the process, and experienced what real thermal hog hunting in South Georgia is all about — not a staged outcome, but an honest hunt.

Night 2 closed without a recovery, but it closed with something just as important:
a true hunting experience.

Effort, Patience, and the Reality of Hunting

Night 1 of this two-night thermal hog hunt with Hog SWAT proved to be one of the most demanding hunts of the season — a true example of how unpredictable and physically challenging real hunting can be.

The night began with a detailed range session, ensuring every safety detail was covered and that the hunters felt confident before stepping into the field. From the start, communication and preparation were a priority.

After checking several areas without activity, Jordan located a sounder of hogs close to the road, creating an immediate opportunity. A clear plan was explained, positions were confirmed, and the group moved carefully into the field. The setup came together quickly, but the hogs shifted direction and moved out into open ground before eventually disappearing into the distance without a recovery.

As the night continued, Jordan adjusted tactics and locations, finding multiple additional opportunities, including pairs and singles in challenging terrain. Some encounters required extra patience due to field layout, farm equipment, and the physical demands of moving quietly across open ground.

One single hog required a long, careful stalk while waiting for a safe angle away from equipment. Even after patiently waiting for the right moment, the hog made it into heavy cover and could not be recovered.

Late in the night, another sounder appeared, but safety considerations again dictated a slow, cautious approach. Jordan managed movement carefully, prioritized safe angles, and waited for a clear opportunity. Shots were taken, but the hog moved into thick cover before a recovery could be made.

Throughout the night, Jordan remained focused on safety, communication, and giving maximum effort, even as conditions made movement difficult and opportunities brief. The hunters stayed positive, trusted the process, and understood that nights like this are part of all hunting — not just hog hunting.

Night 1 didn’t end with a recovery, but it reflected exactly what Hog SWAT stands for:
real conditions, real effort, and honest hunting experiences.

With Night 2 still ahead, the team stayed optimistic and ready for whatever the next night would bring.

Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia brings a new challenge every night, and fog is one of the hardest conditions a hunter can face. On this 1 Night Hog Hunt, Guide Jordan navigated shifting visibility, long stalks, and multiple fields to deliver a successful and memorable experience.

The Wild Boar Hunt opened, where light fog limited visibility to about 150–200 yards. Even with the reduced range, Jordan spotted a Single Hog feeding in the center of the field with a pivot directly behind it. Safety always comes first at Hog SWAT, so Jordan patiently waited for the Wild Hog to move out from in front of the equipment before making the approach.

Once the hog cleared the pivot, the team moved in for a clean setup. Which resulting in the first recovery of the night — a 200+ Pound Hog. After photos and field dressing, the crew continued on.

The fog thickened as they moved to the next field, making the field nearly impossible to Hog Hunt. Jordan shifted the plan and headed to another field, where visibility was better. There, he spotted another single hog tucked near a treeline feeding on leftover corn.

The stalk was smooth and controlled. With a perfect lineup, all three connected and — the second recovery of the night. After photos and cleanup, the team continued scanning through the field before checking additional farmland in the next area.

The fog kept rolling in and out, making it difficult to confirm thermal signatures, though Jordan still attempted a cautious stalk just in case. Whatever had been moving in the field slipped into the trees and never reappeared.

A final pass through the next field brought no additional opportunities, closing out the night.

Despite ever-changing visibility, this Boar Hunt was a great example of what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so dynamic — smart decision-making, patience, and adapting to real conditions in real farmland. Jordan’s guiding was steady and confident, and the hunters handled every stalk perfectly.

Two hogs recovered on a foggy night?
A successful hunt for sure.

Best Hog Hunting In Georgia

Photo: Spot and Stalk. Then Drag… @HogSWAT

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.

When you’re Hunting farmland in South Georgia, every field has its own personality — and this group brought plenty of energy to the night. Daniel, our drone pilot, located a Sounder on a field, setting the stage for quick action right out of the gate.

Locating Hogs With the Drone

With the drone up, Daniel spotted a Group of Hogs working through the field. As soon as the hunters moved in, excitement took over. Let’s just say they were ready to go — even if it meant crunching every corn stalk under their boots on the way in.

Because the hogs were already alert from the noise, the team had to take their positions sooner than planned, resulting in longer-distance than we typically prefer.

Connecting With the Hogs

Despite the challenging approach, the group still managed to connect with two hogs, and one of them disappeared into the crop rows. With thick cover and broken stalks everywhere, it was tough to track from the ground alone.

That’s when Daniel stepped up again.

Drone Recovery Success

Our Thermal Drone pilot lifted off, scanned the area, and located the hog quickly — a perfect example of why having aerial thermal support is such a game-changer on these Wild Hog Hunts. The drone allows us to confirm recoveries fast and efficiently, even in corn field conditions.

A Solid Night for a 1-Night Hunt

Between locating hogs early, navigating a rowdy approach, and using the drone to secure a recovery, this 1-Night Hog Hunt delivered plenty of excitement and a strong result for the group.

Another good night in South Georgia with Hog SWAT.

Night two of this Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT was packed with nonstop action from start to finish.

Right out of the gate, Guide Zev and his hunters pulled into their first field and spotted a sounder of 15–20 pigs feeding under the half-moon sky. Within moments, they were set up and ready to go. Everything rang out, and six pigs sleeping before the rest scattered into the dark.

The next stop brought even more excitement. On Dreamland, the crew spotted another massive sounder of around 30 hogs. Zev let Guide Hank and his group take that one, and then it was on to the next field.

At HP land, they found yet another group of hogs — this time the corn was tall and visibility was tough, but they still managed to get two before one made it back into the trees. It was a true test of skill and timing in thick cover.

That’s what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so addictive — you never know what you’ll find or how the night will unfold. Every field, every stalk, every chance brings a new challenge and a new story.

At Hog SWAT, our Guided Thermal Hog Hunts take you through real working farmland where wild hogs roam free. We don’t bait or sit in stands — we move, stalk, and hunt. With the latest thermal technology, our guides bring you face-to-face with the wild side of Georgia Hog Hunting.

Night one of this two-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with fast action and great company.

Guide Zev and his hunters set up on a Sounder of Wild Hogs near the Half Moon field by the tanks — a spot known for steady pig movement through the fall. Once the group got in range, the thermals lit up with heat signatures, and the Hog Hunt was on. Everything rang out, and several pigs were re-homed, with two recovered in the field before the rest made it into the trees.

That’s how it goes with Thermal Hog Hunting — quick decisions, unpredictable movement, and the excitement of real-time action under the night sky. The hunters handled it like pros, and the camaraderie made the night even better.

At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. We don’t sit and wait — we stalk, spot, and engage. Using the latest thermal, we track wild hogs across South Georgia farmland, helping landowners manage populations while giving hunters a true adrenaline-filled experience.

Boar Hunting in Georgia isn’t always easy — some nights test your patience, your timing, and your ability to adapt. But that’s what makes Thermal Hog Hunting so rewarding.

On this hunt, Guide Capt. Max led his hunters through a quiet South Georgia night that started slow. After several fields with little movement, they finally spotted a Sounder of Wild Hogs feeding among the tall corn stalks. Everything was lining up until the wind shifted — and the group scattered.

But one Lone Boar made the mistake of staying behind. With the Thermal locked in, the hunters lined up for the perfect chance —
Bam! Pow! Pow! Pow! — the boar sleeping.

That’s what Hog SWAT hunts are all about — patience, teamwork, and the adrenaline rush that comes when all the pieces fall into place. Every Wild Hog Hunt is different, and every stalk teaches something new about how these powerful animals move through Georgia farmland.

At Hog SWAT, we specialize in Guided Thermal Hog Hunts across South Georgia, using state-of-the-art thermal to track and manage Feral Hog Populations.

Guide Zev led his hunter out east to Larry Cooper Road, where the team spotted a Sounder of Wild Hogs moving through the fields. With expert setup and precision Hunting, he managed to get two pigs before the rest of the group disappeared into the trees — a strong start to this South Georgia Hunt.

The action proves one thing: the pigs are still out there, and they’re on the move. This region is packed with Feral Hog activity, especially around farmland and backroads where Hog SWAT runs its Wild Hog Hunts. Every night brings a different challenge, and that’s what keeps Night Hog Hunting so exciting.

There’s no better way to celebrate a birthday than chasing Wild Hogs in Georgia!

Guide Capt. Clayton led this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Americus, GA, where the crew came down to celebrate Austin’s 34th birthday. The night kicked off strong — in the very first field, they spotted pigs and made quick work of it. Two bangs later, one hog sleeping forever before midnight.

Things slowed down after that, but not for lack of effort. Around 2 AM, the team spotted two more pigs in another field, only for a pack of coyotes to start howling and push the pigs deep into the trees before they could line up another chance.

Even with the slow stretch, the guys had an awesome night celebrating, Hunting, and making memories that will last far longer than the birthday cake.

The first night of this 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Hank in Americus, Georgia was a success from start to finish. The hunters were determined to get some Wild Hogs in South Georgia — and they did just that.

The night started with a single hog sighting out in the distance. As the hunters geared up and lined up their chance, the pig slipped back into the treeline — a classic move for these smart, nocturnal animals. But the Hog Hunt was far from over.

After covering a few more fields, the crew spotted a sounder of pigs right near the entrance of a field. Moving quickly, they grabbed the thermals, geared up, and got set just in time. Within seconds, both hunters made clean attempts, getting two hogs before the rest of the group scattered.

It was another great night of Boar Hunting in Georgia, with calm winds, good visibility, and a team that worked together perfectly. Two hunters, two hogs — great success.

Guide Zev recently led a one-night Thermal Hog Hunt for Hog SWAT, and it turned into one of those short, sweet, and memorable nights in the field. The group spent the first part of the night scanning plenty of deer through the thermal, waiting for the right opportunity.

Eventually, a hog made an appearance — and that’s when things got exciting. There’s nothing quite like watching a sounder or a single hog light up on thermal in the middle of the night. Every detail, from their movement to the heat signature in the grass, brings a whole new level of adrenaline to Night Hog Hunting.

He is backkkkkkk!!!!! Capt. Clayton, better known as the “Peanut Protector,” led his first Hog SWAT Hog Hunt of the 2025 Hunting Season after returning from captaining boats in Homer, Alaska over the summer. And what a way to kick things off—this 1 Night Hog Hunt in Georgia turned a Graduation Hunting Trip that none of these hunters will forget.

It was the group’s first time Thermal Hunting with Hog SWAT, and the fathers had planned the Boar Hunt as a late graduation gift for their sons. The night could not have gone better. The first sounder of hogs came in as a group of four, and the hunters made it count—four pigs down, clean and fast. Later in the night, they moved on a larger group of about fifteen hogs and managed to put at least eight more on the ground.

In total, the hunters wrapped up the night with twelve wild hogs harvested. Not a bad way to celebrate graduation and not a bad way for Capt. Clayton to shake off the “rust” after a summer at sea.

As he joked afterward, “Fishing might be easier and nothing makes you sweat like dragging Hogs in South Georgia heat.”

It was a night full of action, memories, and a serious impact on the Local Hog Population. For the hunters, it was the perfect way to celebrate a milestone. For Hog SWAT, it was the perfect start to another season of Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia.

Night one of the two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia was full of action and long stalks. Early in the evening, deer were moving heavy, but the Wild Hogs didn’t make their appearance until later. Around 2:30 a.m., the hunters finally spotted the first pig. This hog gave them a real challenge, staying just out of range and eventually slipping into the treeline after nearly 45 minutes of pursuit.

By 4:30 a.m., another hog appeared, and they made a long stalk. Just as they got into position, the hog disappeared into the woods without offering a shot. Moments like that are what make Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia so unpredictable—you never know if it’ll be easy or if you’ll have to work for every opportunity.

Determined not to give up, Guide Kaleb took the hunters to a field that’s produced pigs right around daybreak before. Sure enough, history repeated itself. At 5:30 a.m., they located a Sounder of Hogs feeding in the field. Using Thermal, we closed the distance, made the stalk, and got one hog clean in the field. Another made it to the trees, but it crossed onto neighboring property where recovery wasn’t possible.

This South Georgia Hog Hunt proved why persistence pays off. Whether chasing single Boars or stalking into a Sounder, every Hog Hunt is a new memory. Guided Thermal Hunts with Hog SWAT are more than just Hunting—they’re about the challenge, the chase, and helping landowners with Feral Hog Control.
