📋 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.

Hog Hunting.

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!

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.

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.

Another successful Georgia Boar Hunt in the books with Hog SWAT.

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 1

Hog Hunting In South Georgia

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.

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.
Welcome to the new chapter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That’s what makes Boar Hunting in Georgia so unique. Even on a short trip, every field holds surprises, and every Wild Hog Hunt offers something different.

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.

At Hog SWAT, every Thermal Hunt is different, and this one led by Guide Kaleb proved that persistence and patience make all the difference. This wasn’t like the last few Guided Hog Hunts—it required hard work, determination, and the ability to adapt in the field.

The first field of the night looked promising with a single hog out in the open. Just as the stalk began, a vehicle pulled into the field and spooked the pig, sending it back into cover. From there, the night seemed to shift, and the fields filled mostly with deer. Around 1 a.m., another single hog appeared, but before the hunters could get set up, it slipped away into the night.

As hours passed, the team stayed focused, even when hope started to fade. By 4 a.m., many thought the Boar Hunt was over, but Kaleb wasn’t ready to quit. He knew that hogs often move late, and sure enough, just before 5 a.m., he spotted a pig moving across the field. Some mistook it for a deer, but Kaleb quickly confirmed it was time to gear up.

The stalk took them through tall corn, making visibility tough. Just as the hunters were preparing, the hog closed the distance and came within about 30 yards, locking eyes with the group. There was no time for a long setup—the team acted fast, and with precision, they had success.

The excitement of that moment turned what seemed like a slow night into one packed with adrenaline, teamwork, and a story these hunters will never forget.

Every Georgia Hog Hunt is unique, and this one reminded us that patience in the field is always rewarded. Hog SWAT’s Thermal Hunting Trips are about more than just the pursuit—they’re about the adventure, the strategy, and the memories made along the way.

This Boar Hunt with Hog SWAT and Guide Kaleb was one for the books. Early in the evening, a Massive Boar was spotted in one of the first fields. After a quick stalk, the father, son, and daughter trio worked together to ensure this Wild Hog didn’t slip away. When the group walked up, it was clear just how impressive this boar was—by far one of the biggest Kaleb has ever put his hands on. For reference, standing next to the hog, one hunter at 5’8” was nearly the same length!

Not long after, the group moved into another field filled with deer. As they waited, another hog entered, giving them the perfect opportunity for a smooth stalk. The result was another Wild Boar on the ground, making the night even more memorable.
