Hog Hunting

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.

This 1-Night Guided Hog Hunt in South Georgia delivered nonstop activity and a strong finish.
The night began with extensive scouting across multiple areas, with frequent predator and hog movement observed throughout the evening. Several early encounters required quick decision-making as animals moved in and out of cover before setups could be completed.
Later in the night, a single hog was located in open ground, allowing the group to close distance and set up carefully. After an initial encounter where the hog moved off into cover, continued scanning paid off when another hog entered the field nearby. A controlled setup followed, resulting in the first successful recovery of the night.
As the Guided Hunt continued, additional hog movement was detected near field edges and tree lines. A final stalk on a sounderproduced further success, with multiple hogs successfully recovered before activity slowed.
By the end of the night, the group had logged steady movement, multiple stalks, and three confirmed recoveries, making it a productive and exciting one-night hunt. This night highlighted exactly why persistence and adaptability are key during Thermal Hog Hunting across Georgia farmland.
Kids Hunting
Night two of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia wrapped up the trip with exciting action and great energy in the field.
Early in the night, a single hog was located during setup. Although it moved off quickly, patience and persistence paid off, and the Wild Hog was successfully recovered after careful tracking.
Later on, additional sounders were located across nearby farmland. One group moved out before a setup could be completed, but continued scouting led to another sounder entering the area. With good positioning and teamwork, the group was able to make the most of the opportunity, resulting in five successful recoveries.
What made this night especially memorable was the shared experience. Hog SWAT loves seeing families and kids involved in Hog Hunting, learning the process, and being part of an exciting night in the field. These Hog Hunts aren’t just about results — they’re about creating positive memories and introducing the next generation to responsible Nighttime Hog Control.
Night two closed out the Wild Hog Hunt on a high note, finishing the Hunting Trip strong.

This 1-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia required persistence, patience, and a lot of ground coverage.
The night began by checking several known areas, including open fields and pivot systems, while monitoring movement across large sections of farmland. Early scanning revealed limited activity, but continued effort led to the detection of a single hog near a pivot field.
After closing the distance and setting up, a controlled engagement followed. Although the hog initially moved off at speed, careful observation and tracking revealed that it had dropped into a trench running through the field, where it was later successfully recovered.
After securing the recovery, additional fields were checked throughout the night, including multiple surrounding properties and travel corridors. While no further hog movement was located, the hunt concluded with a positive outcome and a strong effort across a wide area.
This Wild Hog Hunt highlighted the realities of Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia — covering ground, adapting to changing conditions, and staying persistent until an opportunity presents itself.
From Blue Catfish to Wild Hogs

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.

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT and Guide Zev started with solid action and a strong opportunity early in the night.
After settling in and getting everyone comfortable with the plan, Zev located a sow traveling with a group of younger hogs. Encounters like this require careful setup, clear communication, and controlled movement to make the most of the opportunity.
The group worked into position and capitalized when the moment presented itself, resulting in four hogs successfully recovered on Night 1. Early-night sounder encounters like this are a great example of how effective Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia can be when hogs are active and conditions line up.
With Night 1 in the books and solid momentum heading into the second night, the group wrapped up knowing there was still more ground to cover and more opportunity ahead.
A productive start to a two-night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT — and Night 2 was still to come.
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
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.

Start Of a 2-Night Hog SWAT Hunt

Photo: Hunting Wild Hogs @HogSWAT
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.
Night 1

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.
2 Night Hog Hunting Trip

Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT was all about family, patience, and making memories together. This hunt was a special one — a honeymoon hunt where the whole family came together to experience Georgia Hog Hunting under the stars.
Early in the night, the group spotted a Single Hog out in the field. The setup came together quickly, and the opportunity didn’t last long. With calm coordination and steady teamwork, the hog was successfully recovered right where it stood, giving the night a strong start.
After that early success, the fields stayed quiet. The crew continued checking ground and covering fields, but no additional Wild Hogs appeared for the remainder of the night. Slow nights happen — that’s Hunting — and the group took it all in stride, enjoying the experience and the time together.
At Hog SWAT, it’s not just about the outcome — it’s about sharing the adventure. Nights like this remind us why Wild Hog Hunting in Georgia is such a unique experience: real farmland, real conditions, and real moments with the people you care about.
With Night 2 still ahead, the excitement is far from over. We’ll see what tonight brings.
New Era for Hog SWAT
Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.
Welcome to the new chapter.
Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

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.
Another successful night in the books for Zev and his hunters — sounders located, lead out, and more sleepy pigs on the ground. That’s Hog SWAT.
Guided Hog Hunts In Georgia

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
Photo: Hunting Hogs In Georgia @HogSWAT
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. Wild Hogs cause millions in crop damage each year, and our Hog Hunts help control their numbers while giving hunters an unforgettable experience in the process.

Night one of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with some solid success under the stars.
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.

Birthday Hunting Trip
Photo: Hog Hunting In Georgia @HogSWAT
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.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, come celebrate your next big day with Hog SWAT — where the lights go out, the thermal light up, and the action never gets old.
