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.
Family Hog Hunting
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.
Hunting Wild hogs
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.
Hunting with Hog SWAT
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.
Thermal Hog Hunting
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.

Hunting In Georgia
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.
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.

Night 2: Georgia Boar Hunt
Night 2 of this 2-Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT came down to one thing: Boar Hunting done the right way.
Boars don’t move like sounders.
They don’t linger.
And they rarely give more than one real opportunity.
On this night, Guide Zev covered ground across South Georgia, checking fields and staying patient until the right hog finally showed itself. Eventually, a Lone Boar stepped out — the kind of pig that makes the long drives and late hours worth it.
Boar Hunting in Georgia is a different game entirely. Mature Boars are solitary, cautious, and incredibly tough. They rely on experience and instinct, often appearing briefly before disappearing just as fast. Finding one requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to put in the miles.
When the opportunity came together, the setup was clean and decisive. The boar was successfully recovered, marking a strong finish to the two-night Hog Hunt and a perfect example of why Thermal Hog Hunting is so effective for targeting smart, elusive boars.
Not every night brings nonstop action — but nights like this remind us why we Wild Hog Hunt.
One pig.
One opportunity.
One solid boar.

Night 1
Effort, Patience, and the Reality of Hunting
Night 1 of this two-night thermal hog hunt with Hog SWAT proved to be one of the most demanding hunts of the season — a true example of how unpredictable and physically challenging real hunting can be.
The night began with a detailed range session, ensuring every safety detail was covered and that the hunters felt confident before stepping into the field. From the start, communication and preparation were a priority.
After checking several areas without activity, Jordan located a sounder of hogs close to the road, creating an immediate opportunity. A clear plan was explained, positions were confirmed, and the group moved carefully into the field. The setup came together quickly, but the hogs shifted direction and moved out into open ground before eventually disappearing into the distance without a recovery.
As the night continued, Jordan adjusted tactics and locations, finding multiple additional opportunities, including pairs and singles in challenging terrain. Some encounters required extra patience due to field layout, farm equipment, and the physical demands of moving quietly across open ground.
One single hog required a long, careful stalk while waiting for a safe angle away from equipment. Even after patiently waiting for the right moment, the hog made it into heavy cover and could not be recovered.
Late in the night, another sounder appeared, but safety considerations again dictated a slow, cautious approach. Jordan managed movement carefully, prioritized safe angles, and waited for a clear opportunity. Shots were taken, but the hog moved into thick cover before a recovery could be made.
Throughout the night, Jordan remained focused on safety, communication, and giving maximum effort, even as conditions made movement difficult and opportunities brief. The hunters stayed positive, trusted the process, and understood that nights like this are part of all hunting — not just hog hunting.
Night 1 didn’t end with a recovery, but it reflected exactly what Hog SWAT stands for:
real conditions, real effort, and honest hunting experiences.
With Night 2 still ahead, the team stayed optimistic and ready for whatever the next night would bring.
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
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.
Boar Hunting In Georgia
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.
Hog Hunting Americus, Ga
Guide Hank wrapped up the second night of this two-night Hog SWAT Hunt in Americus, Georgia with another solid success!
It was a long night of riding through the fields, scanning with thermals, and catching sight after sight of deer — but no Wild Hogs in range. Persistence pays off, though. Around 4 AM, the team finally spotted a Big Sow feeding alone in a peanut field.
With the bright moonlight backlighting their position, Hank and the hunters moved carefully to avoid spooking her. Once they lined up from about 200 yards out, they made it count. One clean placement, one Big Pig forever sleeping — great success.
This Wild Hog Hunt is a perfect example of what Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is all about: patience, precision, and persistence. You never know when the next field, or the next hour, will turn into the moment you’ve been waiting for.

Night 2 of Hog Hunting
Father-Daughter Duo and a Close Call for the Dawgs 🐗❤️
It was another great night of Hog Hunting in Americus Georgia with Guide Zev leading the way for this Father-Daughter Hunting Duo! After getting five pigs on night one, the crew wasn’t done yet — they were back for round two and ended the hunt with one Big Pig sleeping.
Meanwhile, Georgia fans were holding their breath as the Dawgs faced Auburn, trailing until the fourth quarter. We didn’t score until the third — it was way too close for comfort. But just like the Dawgs pulled through with a 20–10 win, this Father-Daughter Hunting Team stuck it out and made it happen under the stars.
There’s nothing better than seeing Families Hunting together and making memories that’ll last forever. Whether it’s college football Saturdays or late-night stalks in the fields, South Georgia keeps you on your toes.
If you’ve never experienced the rush of a Thermal Hog Hunt, come see what it’s all about. You might just get your own story worth cheering for.
South Georgia Hog Hunt
Night one of the two-night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia was full of action and long stalks. Early in the evening, deer were moving heavy, but the Wild Hogs didn’t make their appearance until later. Around 2:30 a.m., the hunters finally spotted the first pig. This hog gave them a real challenge, staying just out of range and eventually slipping into the treeline after nearly 45 minutes of pursuit.
By 4:30 a.m., another hog appeared, and they made a long stalk. Just as they got into position, the hog disappeared into the woods without offering a shot. Moments like that are what make Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia so unpredictable—you never know if it’ll be easy or if you’ll have to work for every opportunity.
Determined not to give up, Guide Kaleb took the hunters to a field that’s produced pigs right around daybreak before. Sure enough, history repeated itself. At 5:30 a.m., they located a Sounder of Hogs feeding in the field. Using Thermal, we closed the distance, made the stalk, and got one hog clean in the field. Another made it to the trees, but it crossed onto neighboring property where recovery wasn’t possible.
This South Georgia Hog Hunt proved why persistence pays off. Whether chasing single Boars or stalking into a Sounder, every Hog Hunt is a new memory. Guided Thermal Hunts with Hog SWAT are more than just Hunting—they’re about the challenge, the chase, and helping landowners with Feral Hog Control.
