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 Hog Hunt in South Georgia delivered steady action and a great experience in the field.
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.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT and Guide Clay was a strong reminder that Hog Hunting often rewards patience more than speed.
The night began with a couple of challenging stalks. In one instance, the timing simply didn’t come together, and in another, the Wild Hog moved into the trees before the group could fully set up. Situations like this are common when Hunting smart, pressured hogs that rarely stop moving.
Rather than calling it early, Clay continued covering ground and stayed committed well into the early morning hours. That persistence paid off around 4:00 AM, when a sounder was finally located and the group was able to move into position.
The setup came together cleanly, resulting in two hogs successfully recovered — a solid finish after a tough night of hunting. Late-night success like this is what makes Thermal Hog Hunting so rewarding: adapting to the conditions and being ready when the opportunity finally presents itself.
One of the younger hunters also chose to capture the experience with a Hog Hunting Video Package, ensuring the memories from the night will live on long after Hog Hunt ended.
From difficult stalks to a strong late-night finish, this Wild Hog Hunt showed exactly what Hog SWAT is about — honest hunts, real effort, and making the most of every opportunity in the field.
2 nights of Hog Hunting

Hunting in Americus, Georgia isn’t about guaranteed results — it’s about adapting to real conditions in real farmland. This 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, led by Guide Zev, was a perfect example of that reality.
Night 1 – Wind & Quiet Fields
Night 1 brought strong winds across South Georgia, which can completely shut hog movement down. Even the most productive fields stayed quiet as hogs remained tucked into cover, waiting out the weather. Despite covering ground and staying patient, no hog opportunities presented themselves.
Windy nights like this are common in Americus and the surrounding farmland — and every experienced hunter knows that when the wind doesn’t cooperate, animals often don’t move.
Night 2 – Capitalizing When It Counts
Conditions improved slightly on Night 2, and persistence finally paid off. Zev located a small group of hogs working a field, creating the first real opportunity of the Hog Hunt. The setup came together cleanly, and one hog was successfully recovered.
While the night didn’t produce nonstop action, it delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is about:
• staying committed through slow nights
• reading changing conditions
• and capitalizing when the moment finally comes
Why Americus, GA Is Hog Country
Americus, Ga sits in the heart of South Georgia farm country, where hog movement is heavily influenced by wind, pressure, crops, and weather shifts. Some nights are fast and chaotic. Others are slow and technical. That’s what makes Hog Hunting here authentic — and why Hog SWAT focuses on honest, no-guarantee hunts.
Two nights.
Changing conditions.
One hard-earned hog.
Another Wild Hog Hunt in the books with Hog SWAT in Americus, Georgia — where every night tells a different story.
2 Night Hog Hunting Trip
Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.

The first field held a couple of nice-sized Boars. The Stalk was muddy and wet, but fortunately, the rain had given way. They closed to about 60 yards when we set up and fired a volley. Nailed ‘em! That was the easy part. Afterward, they dragged our pigs about 400 yards through the mud until they could finally hitch them to the Hog Van and get them to the Hog dump. Then proceeded onto a few more fields and didn’t find much luck. Eventually, at a large peanut field, they found 6 Smaller Pigs; however, the wind switched up on them and they got spooked. They headed down the road a bit and immediately saw about 20 Wild Pigs in a Large Sounder. As they got close, it became apparent that there were more like 50+ Hogs in a Mega Sounder! These Pigs had no idea what was coming, and we fed them lead. After the dust settled, our Hunters got exactly what they wanted: 8 Suckling Pigs for a total of 10 downed throughout the night!

They found their first Pig in a Cotton Field. It was a tough Stalk due to the low light conditions and the noisy crop. They ended up getting a very spirited Boar who decided to charge at them instead of run away with the others. Afterwards, they covered a ton of ground looking for some more Hogs until they finally found a nice Big Blonde Boar. The Wild Hog was situated at the very top of a high crest which made things difficult, however they got it done!

We had another amazing Thermal Hog Hunt last night at Hog SWAT! Guide Luke (Hank) took Keegan the Gangster Hog Slayer and he brought his custom .308. Keegan flipped the first Hog on the run (solo) and right after setting it up for pictures, 2 more Wild Pigs had a death wish and emerged from the trees. Keegan lined them up and nailed both of them with one shot. Crazy!! The Wild Hog in the back started to limp away and Keegan finished it off by blowing its brains out. That was a zombie pig (brown and black) 100%. It did not want to die. Even after butchering it the Pig was still twitching. Overall Great Hog Hunt with Keegan.

Father and Son vs Father and Son. Humans win. Ken and Tad drove all the way from Wisconsin for one thing: to kill Pigs. Mission accomplished! They stalked for hundreds of yards meandering through trenches and peanut hay on a couple of Boars. When they arrived at a good vantage the Hogs took cover in a ditch. We laid in wait for 20 minutes waiting for a good shot when off to our north a sounder of 20+ Wild Pigs showed itself. Minutes later the bullets were flying and so were chunks of Wild Hogs. What a blast! Book a Thermal Hog Hunt today! Guide Capt Ben is the best!

These guys took down eleventeen Hogs last night - not 12, not 10, but eleventeen. After a slow first night of Thermal Hog Hunting with only 2 down, we made up for it with a more productive latest hunt, taking down 5 on our first encounter, followed by a Coyote and another 6 Wild Hogs by the end. Needless to say, we were ecstatic with our haul. I would have to say these guys are a crazy good shot. Lets see if anyone can beat thier record this year!
Our team also welcomed Rob and Anthony, who booked with us for Anthony's first ever Hog Hunt. It was a roaring success and we're grateful that he chose to make Hog SWAT his First Hunting Experience.

It was an exceptional evening for our guests on their Hog Hunt! We feel privileged that they chose us at Hog S.W.A.T. for their first-ever Guided Wild Hog Hunting experience. Despite an initial unsuccessful attempt to stalk a single Boar, they brilliantly managed to take down two out of five Hogs. It was a remarkable feat, especially on the first freeze of the season in South Georgia.

What was a Hog Hunt turned into a Coyote Hunt In South Georgia. Despite the challenging full moon conditions, we managed to get one go-round on a Wild Hog last night. Unfortunately, the Hog made it to the woods and got away. But, thanks to our experienced guide Capt. Max, we were still able to claim a successful kill by calling in a pair of Coyotes and taking one down. We celebrate any measure of success in our Hog Hunts, and always strive to provide a memorable and fulfilling Hunting Experience. Ready for your own Wild Hog Hunting trip? Book with Hog SWAT today!
