We kicked off Night 1 with precision, securing three single boars through a series of stealthy stalks. Using our AGM Thermal gear, we managed to drop one pig just 70 yards from a massive sounder without alerting the rest of the group—a perfect example of the stealth required for Nighttime Hog Hunting.
The night peaked with a high-stakes stalk on a sounder of 20+ pigs. We successfully maneuvered within 80 yards, and while the team secured another harvest as the group scrambled, we know the potential was there for even more. That’s the thrill of Wild Boar Hunting—even with a perfect approach, the chaos of a large sounder keeps you on your toes.
We ended the first half of this 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt with 4 pigs down and are ready to get back at it for Night 2!

This Thermal Hog Hunt started out with scouting several properties and even having a close encounter with a clever predator during some Coyote Hunting action, the team moved toward the north fields. Which was not successful.
They located a large single Wild Boar and closed the distance to just 70 yards. Despite the adrenaline and a fast-moving target, the team regrouped and headed to our final field of the night. Using our Spot And Stalk Hunting method, we located two Wild Hogs feeding in the open.

Jordan identified a safe shooting window away from nearby structures and gave the team the green light. The coordination was perfect: one pig was secured immediately, and the second was successfully harvested on the run. It was a great way to end a long night of Guided Hog Hunting in South GA. We hope these guys enjoyed there 2 night hog hunt! We hope to have them out again!

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

Trip Type: 1-Night Wild Hog Hunting
Lead Guide: Jordan
Primary Targets: Wild Boar & Coyotes
Key Tech: Advanced Thermal Imaging
Outcome: 3 Hogs Harvested & 1 Coyote Secured
Hog SWAT Hog Hunting with Guide Jordan
If you are looking for the Ultimate Night Hog Hunt, you know that the conditions can change in a heartbeat. Last night, Guide Jordan led an intense, one-night Georgia Hog Hunting excursion that put our gear, our patience, and our stalking skills to the test. From predator control to high-stakes sounder sweeps, here is the breakdown of the action.
Predator Control: Coyote Hunting at Close Range
We kicked off the night at our first location with high expectations. It didn’t take long for the Thermal to pick up two high-speed heat signatures: Coyotes.
We began a tactical stalk, but these "ghosts of the woods" slipped into a low spot in the standing corn. Thinking the opportunity had passed, we looped back toward the hunt van. Suddenly, they reappeared on our right flank, closing the gap to a mere 30-50 yards. Jordan signaled for silence, got one of the coyotes to pause, and with one hunter ready, we got the coyote on the spot. It was a perfect start to a night of Nighttime Predator Hunting.
Navigating Deer and Wild Boar
Next, we transitioned to a new property where we spotted a massive sounder of wild pigs on a northern field. After calling in Luke for backup, we moved in for a group stalk. This is where thermal hog hunting gets tricky.
As we moved in, a group of deer began cycling through the field, positioned directly between us and our targets. We found a narrow lane to continue the stalk, but the local wildlife had other plans. A deer on our left caught our scent and blew the alarm, sending the entire sounder bolted into the timber. It’s a classic reminder that when you’re Stalking Wild Hogs, the wind and the surrounding wildlife are just as important as anything else in Hog Hunting.
Hog Harvest
Determined to put some pork on the ground, we split up to glass different fields. Jordan spotted a second sounder and we quickly regrouped. This time, we played the wind perfectly, angling our approach to stay undetected.
We managed to get within 100 yards of the pigs as they settled into a natural "bowl" in the terrain—the perfect zone for a Thermal Hog Hunting. We coordinated our chances and successfully harvested three hogs in a matter of seconds.
Why Hunt with Hog Swat?
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer looking for a Guided Hog Hunt, our team uses the best thermal imaging technology to ensure you're always on the meat. We ended the night on another field, but the woods had gone quiet—a sign of a successful night of pressure.

📋 Field Report: Night hog Hunting
Lead Guide: Jordan
Location: Americus, Georgia (Sumter County)
Equipment: AGM Thermal
Outcome: Two Successful Harvests + Multiple Stalks
When people say we offerHog Hunting in Georgia, they’re talking about nights like this. Sometimes the action happens before you even step out of the van, and other times it requires a stealthy, move through the corn.
Immediate Engagement: The 5-Foot Encounter
The night started with a scenario you couldn't script. As we pulled up to the first field, a single was spotted running right toward the van. There was no time for tripods or traditional setups. The group reacted instantly, getting into position just 5 feet from the vehicle.
Thanks to our high-mobility setup, the team was able to secure the first harvest of the night before the engine was even cool. It was a perfect example of why Night Hog Hunts require constant readiness.
Hog Hunting in the Georgia Corn
As the night progressed, the strategy shifted from rapid response to stealth. At a nearby property, Jordan located another single in the middle of a field. This required a complex approach—navigating through the corn rows to ensure a safe shooting angle away from local residences.
While the noise of the corn eventually alerted the target, this stalk demonstrated the discipline required for Wild Boar Hunting near agricultural areas. We prioritize safety and precision, even when it means the target slips away.
The Midnight Hunt Grind: Persistence Pays Off
The middle of the night was a "grind," with Jordan scanning several properties and sitting on fields for up to 40 minutes to track movement. We even had a close encounter with a coyote that ran right up to the van, mirroring our first encounter of the night. Which we do Hunt Coyotes In Georgia.
The breakthrough came at the Israel properties. After a close chance on one field, the team moved to the next set of plantings. Jordan led a 100-yard stalk through the corn, where the hunters stayed composed and successfully dropped a second single on the first chance.
Why the Hog Hunting Experience Matters
While some nights feature massive sounders, others are about the individual stalks and the quiet intensity of the Georgia night. At Hog SWAT, we provide the Best Hog Hunting in Georgia by staying in the field until every opportunity is exhausted. From "drive-by" encounters to deep-field stalks, we ensure our guests experience the full spectrum of the Wild Hog Hunt.
🐗 Frequently Asked Questions: Thermal Night Hog Hunting
How close do you usually get to the Wild Hogs? It varies! We’ve had successful harvests from 50 yards away up to 100+ yards. Our thermal gear allows us to adapt to whatever the animal gives us. Every approach is different, we will get as close as we can. Being spotted by the wild hogs is our main concern.
Is it common to see other wildlife like coyotes? Absolutely. While we focus on Wild Boar Hunting, our thermal frequently pick up coyotes, deer, bobcats, armadillos, and other nocturnal wildlife, making every night a unique South Georgia safari experience.
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!

At Hog SWAT, we believe a great guide is always learning. To ensure our clients always receive the best Hog Hunting Georgia experience, veteran guide Jordan took our newest team member, Noah, out for a tactical training session. The goal was simple: master the terrain, study the wind, and execute high-pressure sounder recoveries.
The night began with a lesson in persistence. After a wary single managed to evade the team by using the shifting winds, Jordan and Noah pivoted to the Chokee property. Here, they located a large sounder and turned the encounter into a tactical classroom. After discussing several approach options, they executed Noah’s plan: a disciplined flank through the timber to mask their scent and silhouette.
The strategy worked perfectly. By hugging the tree line, they closed the distance to just 70 yards. The result? Five successful recoveries from a single sounder. The training didn't stop in the field, either. Noah put in the work on the processing table, demonstrating the 'field-to-table' skills we value at Hog SWAT. This commitment to training ensures that when you book a Wild Boar Hunting trip with us, you are being led by the most prepared guides in the industry.
Wild Hog Hunting
In the world of Hog Hunting Georgia, patience is often the most important piece of gear you can carry. Guide Hank led a group through several hours of diligent scouting across South Georgia, utilizing our advanced Thermal Hog Hunting gear to monitor the fields for any sign of movement.
The early hours were quiet, but as any seasoned Night Hog Hunting pro knows, the woods wake up after midnight. The team finally locked onto a single target, beginning a bold, direct stalk through the darkness. Navigating the uneven terrain of Georgia at night can be a challenge—resulting in a quick tumble for the team—but they stayed focused on the objective.
The group successfully closed the distance and executed a clean recovery, turning a long night of scouting into a 'Great Success.' This trip is a perfect reminder that Wild Boar Hunting isn't just about the shots fired; it’s about the grit and determination to stay in the field until the job is done. At Hog SWAT, we don't head home early—we stay out until we find the action.

When you step into the world of Boar Hunting in Georgia, you quickly learn how unpredictable the environment can be. Our latest outing highlighted the tactical nature of Night Hog Hunting and the importance of professional scouting.
Throughout the evening, we located multiple single targets and small groups of Wild Hogs across various South Georgia fields. These setups required quick decision-making and steady positioning as the hogs continued to shift. In professional Hog Hunting, being able to adapt to these changing conditions in real-time is what leads to a successful harvest.
As the night progressed, our persistence with the Thermal Hunting gear paid off. We located a sounder, allowing Hog SWAT guide Zev to position the group for a solid tactical setup. The precision of our equipment ensured that the encounter resulted in two Wild Hogs successfully recovered.
While not every opportunity ends in a recovery, every moment in the field is an opportunity to master Thermal Hog Hunting equipment and real-time decision-making. At Hog SWAT, our Multi-Night Hog Hunts are designed to build your confidence and expertise, ensuring you have the ultimate Boar Hunting experience in the heart of Georgia.
Thermal Hog Hunting

Night two of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in Georgia started quietly, with limited hog movement early in the evening.
An initial Single Hog was located and stalked, but it continued moving without stopping to feed and eventually slipped into cover before a setup could be completed. Additional areas were checked as the group continued to cover ground in search of better opportunity.
Later in the night, a Sounder of Hogs was located in open ground. With conditions lining up, Hog SWAT guide Jordan positioned the remaining hunters for a controlled stalk. Once within range, shots connected, resulting in two hogs successfully recovered during the encounter.
After securing the recoveries and wrapping up the final opportunity of the hunt, the group chose to call it a night and head in.
While hog movement varied across both nights, night two delivered a solid sounder encounter and a strong finish to the hunt — a reminder that persistence often pays off during Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia farmland.

Night two of this 2-Night Thermal Hog Hunt in South Georgia continued with steady movement and additional opportunities.
A sounder was located early in the night, leading to another productive setup. One hog was successfully recovered, while additional movement confirmed continued activity across the area.
As the night went on, another group of Wild Hogs was located, producing one more successful recovery before activity slowed.
Combined with night one, the 2-Night Thermal Hunt delivered consistent action, multiple recoveries, and solid opportunities across South Georgia farmland — a strong example of what Guided Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT is designed to provide.
Hog Hunting: Close Encounters
Night two of this 2-Night Hog Hunt in Georgia brought continued opportunity and steady action throughout the evening.
The night began with checking several areas that had produced activity earlier, though movement was limited initially. Continued scouting paid off when a single hog was located in open ground, allowing the group to set up within close range. Solid initial hits were made before the hog moved off into nearby cover. Careful tracking followed, though the Wild Hog was not recovered.
As the night continued, additional areas were checked, producing several more encounters. Another single hog was spotted near open ground but moved off before a setup could be completed. Later in the evening, a sounder was located in an area outside of accessible ground, confirming that hog movement remained strong across the region.
One final opportunity presented itself later in the night when another single hog was located at close range. A setup was made and shots connected, but the hog moved into cover before recovery could be confirmed. Continued efforts were made to locate the hog, but it was ultimately not found.
While recoveries weren’t confirmed on night two, the Hog Hunt was far from quiet. Multiple encounters, close-range setups, and steady movement throughout the night reflected strong hog presence in the area. Combined with the activity seen on night one, the two-night Thermal Hunt demonstrated just how dynamic and unpredictable Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia can be.
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.

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.
2 nights of Hog Hunting
Photo: Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.
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.

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

Photo: Wild Hog Hunting @HogSWAT
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.
