Face Paint and High Hopes:

A Two-Night Hunt with Guide Zev

At Hog SWAT, we’ve seen all kinds of Hunting Traditions - lucky hats, pre-hunt rituals, and even face paint. Guide Zev swears by it, telling his Hunters that a little camouflage on the face might just bring some extra luck. But as we all know, Hunting doesn’t always go as planned.

Night 1:

Hog Down

With faces painted and rifles ready, Zev led his two hunters into the Georgia night. It wasn’t long before they Spotted Pigs and success. Not a bad start, but they were hoping for more.

Night 2:

When the Pigs Don’t Play Along

The Reality of Night Hunting

Not every Hog Hunt ends with a pile of hogs, but that’s what makes the chase so thrilling. Success in Thermal Hog Hunting is about persistence, patience, and knowing that every night in the field is a new challenge. Zev’s crew may not have had the luck they hoped for, but the experience, the adrenaline, and the memories made it a Wild Hog Hunt to remember.

Thermal Hog Hunting

Four Nights, Two Guides, and a Whole Lot of Patience

Not every Hog Hunt goes as planned. Sometimes the Hogs cooperate, sometimes they don’t - but that’s what makes Hog Hunting such a challenge. A recent 4 Night Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT proved just that, as our Hog Hunters put in the work across multiple nights, with two different guides, to finally get some results.

Night 1 & 2:

Hunting with Guide Wes

The first two nights were led by Guide Wes, and while the team put in the effort, the Wild Hogs weren’t exactly lining up to be taken. Field after field, stalk after stalk, they stayed just out of reach - until finally, persistence paid off. One Hog Down.

Not the numbers we hoped for, but the Wild Hog Hunt was far from over.

Night 3:

Switching it Up with Guide Zev

With two nights down and one Hog to show for it, the Hog Hunters regrouped with Guide Zev for the second half of their trip. The third night, the team had an opportunity but ended up with a Small Hog. Not the Trophy Boar they were after, but sometimes that’s the way it goes.

Night 4:

A Sounder and a Better Ending

By night four, frustration could have set in, but these hunters weren’t quitting. With Zev leading the way, they got another chance this time at a Full Sounder. One more Wild Pig was success, giving them a proper ending to a long Hunt.

Hog Hunting is unpredictable, and no two nights are ever the same. Sometimes it’s a grind, sometimes it’s easy. But every hunt is a story, and this one was all about patience, persistence, and making the most of every opportunity.

There’s nothing better than seeing familiar faces back in the field. Last night, Guide Wes took out a group of returning Hog Hunters, and they did what they came to do - two Wild Hogs down!

Thermal Hunting never gets old. The adrenaline, the stalk, the moment you lock on and get success - it’s an experience like no other. And we love that these Hunters enjoy it just as much as we do.

Big thanks to this crew for coming back out with Hog SWAT. We can’t wait to do it again next year! Ready to book your next Wild Hog Hunt? Let’s go.
