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.

Hog Hunting: Close Encounters

Night two of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia brought continued opportunity and steady action throughout the evening.

The night began with checking several areas that had produced activity earlier, though movement was limited initially. Continued scouting paid off when a single hog was located in open ground, allowing the group to set up within close range. Solid initial hits were made before the hog moved off into nearby cover. Careful tracking followed, though the Wild Hog was not recovered.

As the night continued, additional areas were checked, producing several more encounters. Another single hog was spotted near open ground but moved off before a setup could be completed. Later in the evening, a sounder was located in an area outside of accessible ground, confirming that hog movement remained strong across the region.

One final opportunity presented itself later in the night when another single hog was located at close range. A setup was made and shots connected, but the hog moved into cover before recovery could be confirmed. Continued efforts were made to locate the hog, but it was ultimately not found.

While recoveries weren’t confirmed on night two, the Hog Hunt was far from quiet. Multiple encounters, close-range setups, and steady movement throughout the night reflected strong hog presence in the area. Combined with the activity seen on night one, the two-night Thermal Hunt demonstrated just how dynamic and unpredictable Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia can be.

Nonstop Activity and Multiple Opportunities

Night one of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia was packed with activity from start to finish.

The evening began with extensive scouting across multiple areas, where movement was consistently being picked up throughout the night. Predator activity was observed early on, keeping the group engaged while continuing to cover ground and monitor surrounding fields.

As the night progressed, several opportunities developed across different locations. While some animals moved off before setups could be completed, continued scanning revealed significant hog activity, including multiple sounders detected moving through agricultural areas and along field edges.

Later in the night, a large sounder consisting of dozens of hogs was observed grouped together in an area outside of accessible ground. Although the group remained just out of reach, it confirmed strong overall movement in the area and reinforced the importance of staying mobile.

Despite cold conditions and technical challenges caused by the weather, the team adapted and continued pushing through the night. Additional hog encounters followed, including close-range sightings and multiple stalks through open ground and along tree lines.

While night one didn’t result in recoveries, it was far from slow. The level of activity, number of encounters, and constant movement made it clear that the area was holding Wild Hogs — setting the stage for a strong second night.

Night one wrapped up with momentum heading into the final night of the Hog Hunt.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia required adaptability and persistence as conditions changed throughout the night.

Several locations were checked early with limited activity. Later, movement was detected near wooded areas, leading to close-range encounters and multiple setup attempts. After repositioning and reassessing conditions, hogs were located moving into open ground.

A final setup resulted in a successful recovery, closing out the night on a positive note. Despite challenges, strong communication and teamwork made for an enjoyable and productive Hog Hunt.

Early in the night, a group of Wild Hogs was located, leading to multiple successful recoveries. After repositioning and continuing to scan additional areas, another sounder was located later in the evening, resulting in further recoveries.

Strong teamwork, positive energy, and consistent movement made this a highly productive one-night Wild Hog Hunt. Nights like this highlight the effectiveness of Thermal Hog Hunting across Georgia farmland.

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.

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.

Another successful 2-Night Wild Hog Hunt in the books with Hog SWAT and Guide Zev.

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.

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. 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.

What’s better than College Game Day in Georgia? A Friday night spent chasing Wild Hogs under the stars.

While fans were gearing up for another weekend of football, one Father–Daughter Hunting Duo was out in the fields for night one of their 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Guide Zev — and they kicked things off like champions.

The night started off calm, but as soon as Zev got them in position, things got exciting fast. With steady teamwork and good communication, they got five pigs, setting the tone for an action-packed weekend.

Between laughs, stories, and a few “Go Dawgs!” (they didn’t say that I added it because… GO DAWGS!) along the way, this Hog Hunt had everything that makes South Georgia nights special — family, teamwork, and the thrill of watching the fields light up through thermal.

Stay tuned for night two, because if this first round is any sign, the next one’s going to be a highlight reel…lol

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. The experience itself — the teamwork, the gear, and the thrill of spotting pigs under thermal — is what keeps hunters coming back year after year.

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.

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.

Fast-Moving Pigs

A Night Hunt with Hog SWAT


Some nights, the Pigs cooperate. Other nights, they keep you on your toes. On this Hog Hunt, Guide Hank led a group into the fields for a One-Night Thermal Hog Hunt, and the Wild Pigs weren’t making it easy.



Closing the Distance



With Thermal Equipment Scanning Fields, we spotted a group of about Sounder of 10 Hogs. The challenge? They were already on the move. When Hogs are covering ground quickly, every step counts. The key to success was getting as close as possible before they picked up speed and disappeared into the brush.



Making The Moment Count



We closed in carefully, timing our approach just right. When the moment came, the Hunters got there Wild Hogs before the rest of the group scattered. Fast-moving pigs is a challenge, and these guys handled it well.



The Thrill of the Chase



Hog Hunting is about reading the situation, adjusting to the Pigs’ Behavior, and making every moment count. This Wild Hog Hunt was a perfect example of that. When the Feral Hogs don’t stand still, you have to work for every opportunity.



Book Your Own Hog Hunt



Whether the Piggies are standing still or making a run for it, every Thermal Hunt with Hog SWAT is an adrenaline rush. Ready to put your hunting skills to the test? Book your Guided Hunt today and see if you can outsmart South Georgia’s Wild Hogs!

Two Nights of Hog Hunting with Guide Zev

Mud, Miles, and Mayhem


Photo: Sleppy Piggy @HogSWAT

At Hog SWAT, every Guided Hog Hunt has its own story—sometimes it’s about the Pigs, sometimes it’s about the people. Guide Zev just wrapped up a 2 Night Hog Hunt that had a little bit of both… plus some unexpected entertainment.


Night 1:

When Max Steals the Show


The plan was simple—find Pigs, put clients on them, and start Stacking Hogs. But things took a turn when fellow Capt Max showed up early and handled business before Zev even arrived. “I would’ve gotten more pigs,” Zev said, “but Max had to show up early and assert dominance and took them all before I got there.”


With some Wild Hogs already taken care of, the night turned into more of a grind. Around 4 a.m., they finally caught up with a Lone Hog and made a solid Hunting Stalk—about 800 yards of slow, careful movement through the field. The payoff? Yes.


Oh, and then there was hunter who took an unexpected tumble in the middle of the field. No injuries, just a little extra dirt in the experience.


Night 2:

Don vs. the Mud Hole


Don was here to Hog Hunt. At some point during the night, he spotted a mud hole by accident and, made a full dive into it… This happens more than people think.


The results?

• One very muddy Don.

• One very dirty rifle.

• One hunter sitting in the van for the rest of the night.


Meanwhile, Zev put in the work, covering a lot of ground with his remaining Hog Hunters. They made a solid approach, but the Pigs got spooked before anything happened. Even though no Wild Pigs took a nap that night, the guys stayed chill, enjoying the challenge for what it was.


Final Tally:

A Hunt to Remember


Between Max stealing the action on Night 1, the long stalks, a surprise mud wrestling match, and plenty of miles covered, this two-Night Hunt was far from boring. And while Zev didn’t get the big numbers this time, the memories (and the mud) will definitely stick like Georgia Clay.

Precision in the Dark


Some Hunters are just built differently. That was the case on a recent Wild Hog Hunt led by Hog SWAT Guide Zev, where a group of Hog Hunters with deep Amish roots put their skills to the test. Their great-grandfather may have been kicked out of the Amish, but their discipline, patience, and natural Hunting Instincts were still evident.

The team located a Solid Sounder that night, and the Hunters did amazing. They remained quiet and stealthy, moving with discipline even as the Thermal Equipment lit up the night like broad daylight. When the moment came, they wasted no time—4 pigs on the spot and touching at least six. Most hunters struggle to get more than two from a Sounder, but these guys handled it like professionals.

This is the kind of Hog Hunt that defines Hog SWAT—challenging, fast-paced, and rewarding. Watching hunters rise to the occasion, under pressure, and prove their skills is what makes Thermal Hog Hunting an experience like no other.

Thermal Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT:

Two Nights, Three Hogs Down

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt is about protecting farmland, experiencing the thrill of Thermal Hunting, and making memories along the way. Recently, Guide Zev led a 2 Night Hunt for a group of three Hog Hunters, and while the Pigs didn’t make it easy, the team got 3 Hogs by the end of the Hunting Trip.

Night 1:

One and Done

Boar Hunting

Photo: Boar Hunting @HogSWAT

The first night started like most Wild Hog Hunts—scanning fields with high-end thermal equipment, searching for signs of movement. Hogs are Nocturnal by nature, making them difficult to track, but with the right gear and Experienced Hunting Guides, Hunters get a huge advantage.

It didn’t take long before the team spotted a Lone Boar moving through a field, likely searching for food. Wild Hogs are responsible for millions of dollars in crop damage every year, tearing up fields, destroying root systems, and competing with livestock for resources. This was exactly the kind of Pig that needed to be taken out.

The Hunters set up, lined up their shot, and with a well-placed round, the Wild Boar was down. Despite covering more ground that night, no other Wild Pigs presented themselves. That’s the challenge of Wild Hog Hunting—sometimes you get into them quick, and sometimes they stay just out of reach.

Night 2:

More Pigs, More Action

Wild Hog Hunting

Photo: Got Em @HogSWAT

The second night brought more opportunities. This time, the group came across a Sounder of 4 Hogs moving through a field. Wild Pigs travel in groups, and when a Sounder is feeding, it’s the perfect chance to take out multiple animals at once. Before they all scatter.

With the element of surprise and Thermal giving them the advantage, the hunters got into position. When the dust settled, Two Hogs were down, while the others escaped into the brush. We’ve only seen a handful of full people be able to take out more than 3 Pigs out of a Sounder. Wild Boar Hunting is hard.


Why We Hunt

For these Hog Hunters, the Wild Hog Hunting Trip was about more than just the Thrill of the Hunt—it was about helping farmers protect their land from destructive wild hogs. With no natural predators and rapid reproduction rates, Hog Populations are out of control, making them one of the most damaging invasive species in the country.

That’s why Hog SWAT does what it does. Every Hog Hunt not only gives Hunters an Unforgettable Hunting Experience but also helps control the hog population, reducing farm destruction and supporting local farmers.
