Stuck In The Mud - Second Night - Please Read

Photo: Customer Service @HogSWAT
We hunt year-round in all types of weather to give our customers the best effort possible on every hunt. On the first night, Guide Jordan Started hunting at 8 PM until 6 AM and the group had a very successful night, piling up hogs.
On the second night, Jordan checked a few fields before unfortunately sliding into a ditch on Buck Nelson Road. While accidents happen in this line of work, we always strive to do right by our customers. We understand the time, money, and travel expenses that go into coming to Southwest Georgia to hunt with us, and we value that greatly.
Each of our vehicles is equipped with AWD or 4WD, traction pads, and recovery tools. Unfortunately, Jordan was unable to locate his shovel, which made getting unstuck more difficult. Our internal policy is to attempt recovery ourselves for at least an hour before calling a tow service. On this particular night, we did not have additional guides or support assets available, so Jordan contacted Peacock Towing, a local company that has reliably assisted us many times over the years in our rural area. To clarify, the road where the vehicle became stuck was a county-maintained road, not a private farm road.
The vehicle was recovered around 12:30 AM. Afterward, the group decided to end the hunt, feeling that too much of the night had been lost. The following morning, after speaking with Jordan and getting a full understanding of the situation, I reached out to the customer and offered a complimentary night of hunting for the affected hunters. Shortly after, I received a Google review describing the experience negatively, followed by phone calls in which legal action was mentioned.
I have always tried to treat customers fairly and stand behind my guides and our business. I have never rescinded an offer made to a customer, and we work hard to make things right when situations outside anyone’s control happen. However, moving forward, my team and I will have to figure out this groups intentions moving forward.
We are always open to honest feedback and understand that not every hunt will go perfectly. HogSWAT has been operating since 2008 and have built our reputation on hard work, honesty, and fairness. We have both positive and negative reviews, and we continue to learn and improve from every experience.
At the end of the day, people book hunts to create memories with family and friends, and we genuinely value being part of those moments. Communication is important to us, which is why we provide detailed information on our website along with clear booking and cancellation policies.
We appreciate all of our customers who continue to support our small business, and we will continue working hard to provide the best hunting experience possible.

John, Dwight, and Dakota were able to stack up some hogs for the first night of their weekend hog hunt. Guide Jordan went 5/5 on the first encounter for the night. Then had to play cat and mouse on some fields with hogs coming in and out of the corn to feed on peanuts. None were recovered as they all made into the tall corn. Third go round was on a field next the the road, they made a great stalk, but then the neighbors dogs started barking so shots were rushed. Finally they checked one last field to find a sounder destroying a corn field. They stack them up with what they could find in some knee high corn. We try to get as many encounter as possible and it’s a rinse and repeat process. Meaning we get a go round, pile them up, do photos, butcher and then go look for more. Rarely will will pile them up at the end of the hunt for a glory photo. We Hog Hunt vast areas due to crop rotation and hot spots. If you want to stack up some hogs book a hunt with us at HogSWAT.

Second night of hog hunting ended with these two peanut bandits getting taken out. After a few failed attempts and recoveries earlier in the hunt, Guide Jordan finally connected after battling some tough high winds and putting in the work.

First Night of Hog Hunting started off getting on a sounder in some Wheat. Were able to put quite a few down but it was impossible to gather them all up in the tall wheat. Jordan was able to put hands on 3 without spending more time trying to recover all of them. Found another sounder on a field just outside of Americus, GA and tried to get super close. Jordan was able to use the tree line to get within 50 yards to ensure the best opportunity. Double digits of hogs down has eluded him this season, but he gets the most opportunities of any guide. After the smoke settled and the screams stopped only 2 hogs were down in the field. He was heart broken, but happy to help the farmers.
I tell Jordan I make it look easy. Jordan, sometimes you don’t always get what you want. Jordan sometime customers don’t really want to take that much meat home. Jordan, you need to get closer. Jordan, use a bigger caliber. Jordan, have them aim. Jordan I need to stop typing this, but I am having too much fun.

Guide Jordan was able to get them on a sounder early dropping 3 to start the night. Later in the night a scout called them in on a single wild hog and they dropped it with ease. Later a failed stalk happened and the sounder spooked. Hunting at night has its challenges limited viability, fatigue, muddy walking condition, and most of all the thrill. We love guiding hunts and helping our farmers. Book a Hunt at www.HogSWAT.com

We just wrapped up an incredible 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt here in Americus GA. After a solid first night, the team headed back out to face some challenging conditions. While the evening started slow with heavy fog rolling into the fields, our thermal gear allowed us to cut through and find where the Wild Boars were hiding.
The highlight of this night of Wild Hog Hunting was an intense engagement at one of our southern properties where the team successfully secured 6 pigs in a single go-around. The action was fast-paced, with the group working together to manage the harvest while scouting for the rest of the sounder. Later in the night, a great tip led us to another group of pigs where we added 2 more to the tally, bringing our Night 2 total to 8.
Combined with the 6 hogs from the previous session, this group finished their trip with a total of 14 Wild Hogs harvested! We are extremely grateful we got to take these guys out for the full experience. It was a pleasure having them on the Guided Hog Hunt, and we hope they had a blast with the Best Hog Hunting outfit in Georgia.
Americus, Ga Hog Hunting

The Night Hog Hunting kicked off with plenty of movement as we navigated various terrains in Americus GA. After scouting several properties, we coordinated with Guide Noah to locate a large single boar. Using our AGM Thermal gear, we executed a successful Spot And Stalk Hunting, closing the distance to 100 yards and securing the first harvest of the night.
Later in the shift, we located a sounder of over 10 Wild Hogs positioned in the center of a large field. This setup required extreme discipline; because most of the group was lined up with an irrigation pivot, we had to carefully select targets in a safe chance lane to the left. The team initiated a 400-yard stalk and engaged, successfully tagging their targets during a high-speed encounter.
Despite the late hour, our guests' enthusiasm kept us in the field until past 5:00 AM, checking every possible acre for activity. We are grateful we got to take such a dedicated group out with us. It was a pleasure having them in the field, and we hope they had an unforgettable experience Hog Hunting in Georgia!

The night began with a strategic choice. After spotting multiple groups of Wild Hogs, the team decided to pursue a pair of hogs nearby rather than risk alerting a larger sounder further out. Through steady coordination and follow-up chances, they successfully secured the first harvest of the night Hog Hunting.
Later, the group located a large single boar and initiated a 250-yard Spot And Stalk. After the initial engagement, the team showed great persistence, tracking the Wild Boar and securing the second harvest at long range. We ended the night with two successful harvests and a lot of ground covered. We are grateful we got to take these guys out and hope they had a great time experiencing Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia!

This is the start of a 2 Night Hog Hunt! This Thermal Hog Hunt started the night with a successful stalk on a single in the north fields, followed by another successful harvest near the woodline at our second location. Using our thermal, we tracked a large sounder that eventually moved onto our property near a pivot system. After waiting for a safe chance window, the team engaged and secured their third pig of the night.
We ended the morning with 3 pigs down! We are extremely grateful we got to take these guys out in the field with us. It was a pleasure having them on night 1 of this Wild Hog Hunt. Let’s see what night 2 brings!

We started the night strong in the first field, where we successfully secured 2 Wild Hogs. We spent the rest of the evening tracking several other sounders across South GA farmland. While the other groups of Wild Boars managed to evade us later in the night, we had some great opportunities and long stalks.

The Core of Our Georgia Hog Hunting
When you book a 1 Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, you aren't just paying for access to fields; you are paying for professional tactical hog hunting oversight. Thermal Hog Hunting in the varied terrain of South GA requires intense focus and a guide who knows how to navigate complex environments to ensure a successful harvest.
Spot and Stalk Hog Hunting
On a recent night led by Guide Jordan, the team located a sounder of Wild Hogs positioned near a cluster of farm buildings. Because we hunt on active agricultural land, our guides perform a full environmental briefing before every Spot And Stalk Hog Hunting.
Jordan identified the safest lane for engagement and coached the hunter into a prime position using our Thermal gear. By setting up the tripod for maximum stability and identifying the target clearly, the guest was able to successfully secure a harvest on a Wild Boar. At Hog SWAT, we believe the Best Hog Hunting happens when preparation meets the right opportunity, and this first success set a great tone for the night.
The Intensity of the Sounder Stalk
Later in the evening, the team used their thermal to locate a massive sounder of approximately 30 pigs moving through a southern field. This is the heart of Unlimited Hog Hunting—finding the large groups that cause the most significant damage to Georgia farmers.
Jordan led a stealthy Spot And Stalk to within 100 yards of the massive group. While the pigs were alert and eventually managed to evade the group into a low spot, the experience of being that close to 30 Wild Boars is an adrenaline rush you can only find with a premier Georgia Hog Hunting outfitter. Our guides work tirelessly to put you in the right spot, managing the wind and the terrain until the very last field of the night.
Nightly FAQ

A 2 Night Hog Hunt In Georgia
Hog Hunting Summary
Lead Guide: Jordan
Hunt Type: 2 Night Hog Hunt
Harvest Total: 2 Wild Boars
Equipment: AGM Thermal
Location: Fields in Americus, Georgia
Photo: Georgia Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
Night 1: The Challenges of Nighttime Hog Hunting
Our first night of this Guided Hog Hunting trip proved why Wild Boars are such respected opponents. We started at Wilmar, where a single pig was spotted near the woodline. Despite a stealthy approach, the shifting winds in South GAmade it difficult to close the distance.
In Thermal Hog Hunting, the wind is everything. We moved to the another Field and located a sounder near a watering hole, but the group caught our scent and retreated. While we had an engagement opportunity near the farm buildings later that night, the tall grass made for a difficult connection. It was a tough reminder that even with the best AGM Thermalgear, the animals sometimes have the upper hand.
Night 2: Securing the Harvest in South GA
Photo: Thermal Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
The second night of this 2 Night Hog Hunt was a complete turnaround. After scouting a few fields—where we even spotted some Coyotes — we moved to Oscar’s field. Which Hog Hunts sometimes turn into Coyote Hunting.
Photo: Wild Boar Hunting @HogSWAT
Our team spotted a single Wild Boar on the back corner. Because the wind was tricky, Guide Jordan led a massive 700-yard Spot And Stalk to stay downwind. The patience paid off. We moved within 100 yards and successfully secured the harvest. After completing the field prep, we moved to another field where we tracked another single. After a 150-yard stalk, the group successfully got their second boar of the night.
This is why we recommend the multi-night packages; it gives you the best chance for Unlimited Hog Hunting success. Feel free to Learn More About 2 Night Hog Hunts to see why more time in the field leads to better results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How far do you usually walk during a Spot And Stalk Wild Boar Hunting trip? A: It varies! As seen on Night 2 of this trip, we performed a 700-yard stalk just to get the right wind angle and that was just one stalk. We recommend guests check our What To Bring page to ensure they have comfortable, and quiet boots for trekking through Georgia Hog Hunting terrain.
Q: Do we hunt more than one location per night? A: Absolutely. At Hog SWAT, the Best Hog Hunting happens when you stay mobile. We check multiple farms like Wilmar, Oscar’s, and Eddie’s to find where the Wild Hogs are active. You can Learn More About How We Hog Hunt by visiting our strategy page.

The Ultimate Thermal Hog Hunting Experience in South Georgia
📋 48-Hour Field Report: Georgia Hog Hunting
Lead Guide: Max
Location: Americus, Georgia (Sumter County)
Target Species: Invasive Wild Boar Sounders
Primary Gear: High-Resolution Thermal Gear Systems
Duration: 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunting Experience
Our recent Hog HuntIn Georgiawhich was 2 nights was a masterclass in why persistence is the secret to success in the South Georgia outdoors. While the first evening presented some environmental challenges, the second night delivered the kind of high-volume Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia activity that every visitor hopes to see.
Navigating the Wind on a Georgia Night Hog Hunt
On Night 1, Guide Max and his guests—a fantastic husband-and-wife duo—utilized their Thermal Imaging to scan the treelines. The primary challenge was the shifting winds, which can often push a hunter's scent toward the targets and alert the Wild Hogs.
Despite the difficult breeze, the team stayed patient. They used their thermal gear to track a small group and managed to get a few looks at the movement in the distance. While no collection was made on that first evening, the high spirits of the group and the sheer amount of intel gathered set the stage for an incredible follow-up.
High-Volume Wild Boar Activity
Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
By Night 2, the conditions settled, and the activity level hit a multi-year high. Max reported seeing more movement on a single field than he has seen in seasons. Using professional thermal, a massive sounder was detected emerging from the cover. This provided the hunters with multiple opportunities to test their skills and observe the behavior of these large groups in total darkness.
Navigating a sounder of that size requires intense focus and steady thermal tracking. They had several chances to line up on the moving targets as they traversed the open ground. While many of the hogs managed to slip back into the trees, the persistence of the team was about to be rewarded. Moving targets is harder than it looks.
Successful Thermal Hog Hunting Harvest
Photo: Hog Hunting In Georgia @HogSWAT
From the middle of that massive group, the team was able to successfully secure a large single hog. It was a rewarding moment for the couple, who brought great energy to the Hog Hunting trip from start to finish.
This is the true value of a 2-Night Hog Hunt: it gives visitors the time to adjust to the environment, master the Thermal Equipment, and wait for that one window where the fields truly come alive.
🐗 Frequently Asked Questions: Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia
Why is thermal imaging better than traditional night vision for hog hunting? Thermal Hog Hunting allows us to detect heat signatures through thick brush and tall corn where traditional night vision might fail. It gives our guides a massive advantage in spotting Wild Boar from long distances.
👉 Learn More About Thermal vs. Night Vision
Why book a 2-night hog hunt instead of a single night? A 48-hour window allows our guides to account for weather changes, like the shifting winds Max encountered on Night 1, ensuring you get the best possible opportunity for success. More time in the filed increases your chances for Boar Hunting.

👉 Learn More About Our 2 Night Hog Hunt
What happens if the wind changes during a night hunt? Our guides, like Max, are experts at reading the wind. If it shifts, we adjust our approach or move to a different field to ensure we stay downwind of the sounders.

📋 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!

Guide Max led a recent session where the damp air and bright moonlight created the perfect atmosphere for an elite Wild Hog Hunting experience. While the movement started off slow, the team’s persistence paid off as they located a group of three hogs and successfully secured a recovery.
At Hog SWAT, we know that for many of our guests, the Best Hog Hunting experience doesn't end in the field.
