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.

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!
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

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

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.
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!

There is something special about Georgia Night Hog Hunting just after a fresh rain. 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. This group is walking away with more than just a great story; we are processing their harvest into premium Cheddar Jalapeño and Maple links. Along with the custom sausage, they’ve requested a professional Euro mount to commemorate their Hog Hunting success.
Whether you are here for the high-octane action of Thermal Hog Hunts or you’re looking to stock your freezer with the best organic meat, we take pride in every step of the process. It’s always 'fun shooting stuff,' but it’s even better when that Guided Hog Hunting trip results in a trophy on the wall and a feast on the table
Hog Hunting With Thermal
The first night of our Georgia Hunting Trip with guide Jordan was a masterclass in thorough scouting. After checking several sectors with no activity, our team utilized a coordinated scouting strategy at a new location. By splitting our observation points, we were able to quickly identify a single Wild Hog in a low spot of the field.
The group executed a disciplined approach, closing the distance to 100 yards. In professional Boar Hunting, ensuring a clean recovery is the top priority. After the initial connection, the team moved in and utilized follow-up measures to ensure the process was handled with professional standards. It was a successful start that rewarded the group's patience during the early quiet hours.
Later in the evening, our Thermal Hog Hunting scouts located another single in the western fields. We took our time with this 120-yard setup, emphasizing the Hog SWAT philosophy of being '100% ready' before calling the shot. While technical readiness at the range is one thing, the heat of a Wild Hog encounter can challenge even the most prepared. Although the second opportunity didn't result in a recovery before the target reached the property line, the night provided invaluable experience in real-world tactical conditions. We are ready to take these lessons into night two for more Hog Hunting in Georgia.

When you are out for Boar Hunting in South Georgia, the pace can change in an instant. The final night of our recent guided trip started quietly, with limited movement across the first few fields we scouted.
However, in the world of professional Hog Hunting, patience is a requirement. After covering multiple areas without activity, our Thermal Hunting technology finally picked up heat signatures late in the evening. We located two Wild Hogs moving together, providing the best opportunity of the entire trip.
With the conditions finally lining up, Hog SWAT guide Zev positioned the group for a tactical, clean setup. The precision of our Georgia Thermal Hunting gear allowed the group to capitalize immediately, resulting in two Wild Hogs successfully recovered.
While the activity can vary from night to night in Georgia, this trip reinforced the importance of staying committed until the final opportunity. At Hog SWAT, we are the premier Georgia Hog Hunting and Boar Hunting Outfitters, ensuring every guest gets a high-quality experience under real field conditions.
Early Opportunities and Steady Action Across Georgia Farmland

Night one of this Two-Night Guided Hog Hunt in Georgia started off strong with early movement and multiple opportunities.
After checking initial areas, Hog SWAT guide Jordan located a group of five to six hogs, setting up the first productive encounter of the night. The setup resulted in three hogs successfully recovered, followed by on-site Field Butchering and Hog Hunting Photos.
As the night continued, additional ground was covered to pick up a late-arriving hunter, review safety procedures, and ensure everyone was comfortable with the equipment. Despite continued scouting across multiple fields, hog movement slowed under bright moonlight, making close approaches more difficult.
Later in the night, a single hog was located near a tree line. A careful stalk was attempted, but the Wild Hog eventually moved off before a clean setup could be completed. Additional hogs were spotted briefly before disappearing into low ground and cover.
Although activity tapered off later in the night, the group stayed out late, continuing to work fields and adapt to conditions. Night one wrapped up with three confirmed hog recoveries and solid teamwork throughout the Thermal Hunt.
Hunting A Large Sounder

This 1-Night Guided Hog Hunt in Georgia delivered a textbook example of how wind, moonlight, and positioning come together in open farmland.
After covering multiple areas early with limited activity, Hog SWAT Guide Jordan located a Large Sounder of more than a dozen hogs grouped tightly under a pivot. With favorable wind and a bright moon providing excellent visibility, the decision was made to close distance and settle into a high-percentage setup just over 100 yards.
The first volley resulted in a confirmed hog recovery, with additional hogs pushing deeper toward the north side of the field. As the sounder began to break up and move off, disciplined chance selection continued until they reached the tree line.
While securing the initial recovery, a straggler hog broke from cover attempting to rejoin the group. A quick adjustment and confident execution resulted in a second confirmed recovery, closing out the most productive encounter of the night.
The remainder of the Hog Hunt was spent continuing to cover ground and assist other guides in the area, though no additional hog movement was located.
This Guided Hunt showcased exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT is about — reading conditions, working sounders in open fields, and executing clean opportunities when they present themselves.

Night one of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in South Georgia started with immediate activity.
Wild Hogs were located early in the evening, creating quick opportunities that required fast decision-making. While initial movement shifted before a setup could be completed, continued scanning paid off later in the night.
A Sounder was located in open ground, allowing the group to get positioned and capitalize on the opportunity. The setup resulted in two hogs successfully recovered, setting a strong tone for the rest of the Hog Hunt.
Night one demonstrated exactly what Guided Thermal Hog Hunting is about — covering ground, staying mobile, and making the most of opportunities when hogs present themselves.
Hog Hunt - Night 2

Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia started with early opportunity.
Not long after getting into the fields, a single hog was located and the setup came together quickly. The group capitalized on the moment, resulting in a successful recovery early in the night.
After that, the night slowed down considerably. Hog movement dropped off, and the remaining hours passed quietly as conditions stayed calm and activity stayed minimal.
While Night 2 didn’t bring the same pace as the first night, it still delivered a solid early encounter and wrapped up a two-night Thermal Hunt that showed both sides of Thermal Hog Hunting — fast action one night, a slower, quieter finish the next.
That’s Hunting in South Georgia:
sometimes the night runs long,
sometimes it wraps up early,
and sometimes both happen on the same Hog Hunt.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia with Hog SWAT was a textbook example of how effective a split hunt strategy can be when conditions line up.
With six hunters total, several of whom had hunted with us before, guides Clayton and Jordan worked together to maximize opportunity by covering more ground. Early in the night, both guides regrouped the entire party for a coordinated stalk on a sounder, giving all six hunters the chance to experience a real, hands-on thermal approach.
That stalk came together cleanly, resulting in four hogs recovered from the first encounter — a great start and a high-energy moment for the group.
Afterward, the guides split back up to continue covering ground. Clayton located another sounder and successfully capitalized, recovering two additional hogs. On Jordan’s side of the split, another sounder was found, but the hogs stayed on the move and slipped into the trees before a setup could be made — a common outcome when Wild Hogs are pressured and mobile.
From start to finish, the night moved smoothly and efficiently, highlighting what makes Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so effective when teamwork, experience, and conditions align.
A fast-moving, productive night in the books with Hog SWAT.
Start Of a 2-Night Hog SWAT Hunt

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 of this 2 Night Hog Hunt with Guide Clay was a quieter one — something every hunter understands is part of the game, especially when conditions shift and animals change patterns.
After covering ground and staying patient, the team eventually located a group of two hogs. The setup came together, shots connected, and one hog was successfully recovered, while the second made it into cover and could not be safely located.
Even on a slower night, the experience stayed positive from start to finish. The hunters enjoyed the time in the field, appreciated the effort that went into the Thermal Hog Hunt, and left in great spirits. By the end of the night, they were already talking about coming back next year after Christmas, which is always the best compliment we can receive.
At Hog SWAT, we know not every night is fast-paced — but every night is real. Hunting, Conditions, and effort from our guides.
Another solid night in the books with Hog SWAT, and we’ll be ready when these guys return.
Hunting Wild Hogs At Night
Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t always easy — and this 1-night Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton is the perfect reminder of how smart and unpredictable wild hogs can be.
Midnight Encounter With a Group of Three
Around midnight, Clayton and the hunters located a group of three hogs feeding across an open field. The team made their approach and got into position, but the hogs slipped off the field before the group could make solid connections.
It’s moments like this that show exactly why wild hogs are considered some of the toughest animals in the South. They don’t play by the rules.
Second Opportunity at 3:30 AM
Later in the night, around 3:30 AM, Clayton found another group. The conditions were challenging — the wind kept switching directions, making it difficult to keep from getting winded.
As soon as the hogs caught even the slightest scent, the entire group shifted and moved out fast. Wind is one of the biggest factors in Thermal Hog Hunting, and on this night, it worked against us.
A Tough Night — and a Realistic Look at Hog Hunting
People often think Hog Hunting is easy because of how many hogs are in Georgia. But nights like this show the truth:
Hogs are extremely smart
They have incredible noses
Their skin and bodies are tough
They react instantly to pressure, scent, or sound
When you Hunt Hogs, you gain a whole new respect for just how sharp and adaptable they are.
Even without a big outcome, this 1-night Wild Hog Hunt with Clayton was a great example of real, unscripted Georgia Hog Hunting — where every field teaches you something new.

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.
Hunting Under The Northern Lights

Photo: Northern Lights In South Georgia @HogSWAT
Some nights remind us exactly why Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is one of the most unpredictable, exciting experiences you can have outdoors — and last night proved it.
While Guide Max and the team were out training new guides and scanning for coyotes, the sky put on a show no one expected: the Northern Lights Glowing over South Georgia. A rare sight that set the tone for a night full of surprises.
Not long after, a pig stepped out right in front of a coyote we were watching. We immediately called Guide Zev to take over the stalk. He rushed to the field and got set up, but the pig slipped away before he arrived.
A little later, while we were still calling, a Massive Lone Boar emerged. We kept eyes on it and called Zev again. He pulled in quickly — but just as he reached the field, the Boar dipped into a low spot and vanished. Even with Thermals Scanning and Max checking the pivot for elevation, the boar disappeared into the terrain like a shadow.
After a third careful stalk that ended the same way, it was clear:
Some nights, the pigs win.
That’s the reality of Hog Hunting. These animals are sharp, fast, and use every bit of ground to their advantage. It’s not easy — and it’s never guaranteed — but that challenge is what makes Hog SWAT Wild Hog Hunts real. We don’t sit in stands or hunt over bait. We stalk, scan, and adapt in real time.
And even on a night where the pigs stayed one step ahead, the combination of Northern Lights overhead and the excitement of each stalk made it a night worth remembering.
At Hog SWAT, it’s not just about the outcome — it’s about the adventure, the teamwork, the chase, and the rare moments you only see when you’re out there under the South Georgia sky.
Hunting isn't Easy

Every hunter knows the truth — no hunt is guaranteed. And that’s what keeps Hog Hunting in Georgia so real.
On this hunt, Guide Hank covered miles of farmland, scanning and stalking through the night. Conditions were good, but the pigs just weren’t cooperating. At one point, a pig was caught on thermal drone over on 34, but it only stayed in the field for about 20 minutes before disappearing into the dark. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.
The hunters were great — patient, understanding, and appreciative of the work that went into the night. Even without a pig re-homed, they got to experience what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is really like: unpredictable, exciting, and 100% real.
If we sat over bait or waited in stands, sure, it would be easier. But that’s not how Hog SWAT Wild Hog Hunts. We move, we stalk, and we earn every opportunity. That’s what makes the success nights feel so good — because life isn’t easy, and neither is Hunting.
Every Boar Hunt teaches something new, and that’s why we love it. Whether it’s a night full of pigs or one that tests your patience, Hog Hunting is always an adventure worth taking.
At Hog SWAT, we’ll keep doing what we do best — guiding real hunters through real fields in pursuit of Wild Hogs under the Georgia night sky.
Sounders Everywhere – A Wild Night in South Georgia

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.
