Nonstop Activity and Multiple Opportunities
Photo: Thermal Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.

Night one of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia brought challenging conditions, but solid results.
Cold temperatures and wet weather made for a tough night in the field, especially early on. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the group stayed committed and continued covering ground in search of hog movement.
That persistence paid off when a sounder was located, leading to a productive setup and four successful hog recoveries. The encounter turned the night around and highlighted how quickly conditions can change during a Thermal Hog Hunt.
Even on nights where weather and comfort aren’t on your side, teamwork and patience can still produce strong outcomes. Night one wrapped up as a successful start to the Hog Hunt, setting a positive tone heading into the second night.

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.

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.
Hog Hunt - Night 2
Photo: Hog Hunting - Night 2 @HogSWAT
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.

Night 1 – Blog Post:
Night 1 of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT and Guide Zev had a little bit of everything — long stalks, multiple encounters, and a moment that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
The night kicked off with a long, patient stalk on a single hog, covering serious ground before the setup finally came together. The effort paid off, resulting in a clean recovery and a strong start to the Hog Hunt.
From there, the group moved on and located another single hog. As the stalk was coming together and the setup was nearly complete, something completely unexpected happened — one of the hunters suddenly got sick and started violently throwing up, instantly alerting the hog.
It should’ve been the end of that opportunity… but Hog Hunting doesn’t always follow the script.
Instead of disappearing for good, the hog returned — and brought a few friends with it. The group stayed composed, reset quickly, and capitalized on the second chance, recovering two hogs from that encounter.
On the way back, the night wasn’t finished yet. A final stop produced a full sounder, creating one more opportunity to end the night strong. The setup came together cleanly, resulting in three additional hogs recovered before calling it a night.
From long stalks to unexpected chaos, Night 1 delivered exactly what Thermal Hog Hunting is known for — unpredictability, adaptability, and moments you’ll be talking about long after the Wild Hog Hunt ends.
A fast-moving, memorable start to a Two-Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT — and Night 2 was still to come.

This 1-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia with Hog SWAT was a perfect example of why persistence is one of the most important parts of Hog Hunting.
The night started slow, with multiple fields checked and limited hog movement early on. Conditions stayed challenging, and as the hours passed without a solid opportunity, patience was tested — something every experienced hunter understands happens on real, no-guarantee Hog Hunts.
Rather than calling it early, Guide Zev made the decision to check one more field. That decision paid off.
Late in the night, a sounder of hogs was located, creating the opportunity the group had been waiting for. The setup came together cleanly, the momentum shifted instantly, and the night finished on a high note.
Hunts like this highlight exactly what thermal hog hunting is about:
staying committed when the night is quiet
trusting the process
and being ready when opportunity finally shows itself
Some nights start fast.
Some nights finish strong.
Both are part of Thermal Hog Hunting.

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.

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.
Hog SWAT Hog Hunting
This 1-Night Hog Hunt in South Georgia with Hog SWAT and Guide Jordan delivered exactly what makes night hunting so exciting — close encounters, quick decisions, and memorable moments in the field.
The night began with a large sounder spotted at a distance, prompting a long, careful stalk. The approach came together smoothly, but before the group could close the gap, the hogs slipped into the treeline and disappeared — a common outcome when hunting cautious, pressured pigs.
The action picked up shortly after when Jordan spotted a Single Hog while pulling into the next area. The hunters moved quickly, set up cleanly, and made the most of the opportunity.
As the team moved in, another single hog unexpectedly approached, creating a rare back-to-back opportunity. Jordan immediately signaled for another setup, and the group stayed composed as the hog closed distance. After a brief but intense encounter, the hog went down, making for a memorable moment on the Wild Hog Hunt.
Photos were taken, the hogs were processed, and the group continued checking additional ground before wrapping up the night. The Thermal Hunt concluded on a positive note, with the father-and-son duo heading home after a full night of action.
This Hog Hunt was a great example of what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about — adapting to fast-moving animals, staying alert, and capitalizing when opportunities appear.

2 Night Hog Hunting Trip

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.
Hunting WIld Hogs

Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia brings a new challenge every night, and fog is one of the hardest conditions a hunter can face. On this 1 Night Hog Hunt, Guide Jordan navigated shifting visibility, long stalks, and multiple fields to deliver a successful and memorable experience.
The Wild Boar Hunt opened, where light fog limited visibility to about 150–200 yards. Even with the reduced range, Jordan spotted a Single Hog feeding in the center of the field with a pivot directly behind it. Safety always comes first at Hog SWAT, so Jordan patiently waited for the Wild Hog to move out from in front of the equipment before making the approach.
Once the hog cleared the pivot, the team moved in for a clean setup. Which resulting in the first recovery of the night — a 200+ Pound Hog. After photos and field dressing, the crew continued on.
The fog thickened as they moved to the next field, making the field nearly impossible to Hog Hunt. Jordan shifted the plan and headed to another field, where visibility was better. There, he spotted another single hog tucked near a treeline feeding on leftover corn.
The stalk was smooth and controlled. With a perfect lineup, all three connected and — the second recovery of the night. After photos and cleanup, the team continued scanning through the field before checking additional farmland in the next area.
The fog kept rolling in and out, making it difficult to confirm thermal signatures, though Jordan still attempted a cautious stalk just in case. Whatever had been moving in the field slipped into the trees and never reappeared.
A final pass through the next field brought no additional opportunities, closing out the night.
Despite ever-changing visibility, this Boar Hunt was a great example of what makes Hog Hunting in Georgia so dynamic — smart decision-making, patience, and adapting to real conditions in real farmland. Jordan’s guiding was steady and confident, and the hunters handled every stalk perfectly.
Two hogs recovered on a foggy night?
A successful hunt for sure.
We Hog Hunt In ALL Conditions.
New Era for Hog SWAT
Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.
Thermal Hog Hunting In Georgia

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

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.

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.
Youth Hunting

Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia isn’t as simple as it might look on video — and that’s what makes it such a thrill.
On this Wild Hog Hunt, Guide Zev reminded his hunters that Wild Hogs are incredibly smart animals. They learn fast, travel miles in a single night, and constantly change their patterns. One evening you’ll find them in a cornfield — the next, they’re gone without a trace. That unpredictability is what keeps hunters on their toes and makes every Thermal Night Hunt unique.
With Hog SWAT, we don’t bait or sit and wait. We hunt, stalk, and move, scanning the fields with state-of-the-art thermal to find where the pigs are hiding. It’s real Hunting — challenging, exciting, and always an adventure under the stars.
And while hunting isn’t guaranteed (no matter the animal or location), every night in the field is time well spent — especially when we get to share it with families and kids who are experiencing Wild Hog Hunting for the first time. Watching a young hunter’s excitement when they see their first sounder light up on a thermal scope is something special.
At Hog SWAT, that’s what we love most — not just the hunting, but the experience of teaching others what makes Hog Hunting in South Georgia so addictive and unforgettable.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or bringing your kids for their first hunt, Hog SWAT offers the ultimate Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia — where every night brings a new story, a new challenge, and a chance to experience the wild like never before.
Boar Hunting In Georgia
Photo: Hunting Hogs In Georgia @HogSWAT
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.
If you’re ready to experience the challenge of Boar Hunting in Georgia, Hog SWAT delivers — real guides, real Hunts, and real results.
