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.

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 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
Close Calls, Perfect Wind, and the Reality of the Hunt
Night 2 of this two-night hunt with Hog SWAT delivered exactly what hunting so often does — close encounters, perfect conditions, and moments where timing matters most.
The night started strong with a single hog feeding in the middle of an open field. After repositioning to close the distance, the stalk came together cleanly. The wind was perfect, movement was quiet, and the team closed in to roughly 70–80 yards. The setup was solid, but the opportunity slipped away when the shots didn’t connect.
Later in the night, another single hog appeared while crossing an open field. Jordan quickly got the hunters into position and waited patiently for the pig to turn broadside — exactly what you want on a setup like that. Just as the countdown began, a shot went early and the hog disappeared into the darkness.
From there, the team continued covering ground and checking productive areas, but the fields stayed quiet. No additional hogs showed themselves for the remainder of the night.
That’s hunting.
Sometimes everything lines up — the wind, the approach, the setup — and it still doesn’t end with a recovery. Every hunter, regardless of experience or species, has nights like this. What matters is effort, patience, and understanding that success isn’t guaranteed.
Jordan stayed focused until the very end, giving the hunt everything he had across both nights. The hunters stayed positive, trusted the process, and experienced what real thermal hog hunting in South Georgia is all about — not a staged outcome, but an honest hunt.
Night 2 closed without a recovery, but it closed with something just as important:
a true hunting experience.
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.

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.
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.
Georgia Hog Hunting
Photo: Hunting Wild Hogs @HogSWAT
Thermal Hog Hunting in South Georgia delivers a different challenge every night, and this Hog Hunt with Guide Clayton was the perfect example of how fast conditions can shift in the fields.
The night began with a Sounder of about Six Hogs, a promising start. But as the team moved into position, the wind turned unexpectedly — one of the biggest factors in Hog Hunting. Wild Hogs rely heavily on scent, and the moment the breeze changed direction, the sounder slipped into the treeline.
All except one.
A Lone Hog stayed out just long enough for Clayton to guide the hunters into a close, clean setup. At roughly 30 yards, the opportunity came together perfectly, and the team made a solid recovery.
After that, the challenge changed from wind… to weather.
A thick, rolling fog settled across the farmland — the kind that makes thermal signatures blur and limits visibility across entire fields. Clayton repositioned multiple times trying to break out of it, but the fog followed all night long. Even with constant scanning and field rotations, no other hogs appeared for the rest of the Wild Hog Hunt.
To top it off, the ground was soft from recent moisture, and at one point Clayton got the van stuck — but in true guide fashion, a little technique and determination got everything moving again.
Nights like this show exactly what True Thermal Hog Hunting is:
Real fields, real conditions, and real adaptability. Some nights are nonstop action, and others are all about patience, smart decisions, and making the most of the few opportunities that appear.
Even with heavy fog and unpredictable wind, the Boar Hunt ended with one solid recovery and a story only a South Georgia night can give you.
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.

Hunting In Georgia

Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia is always full of surprises, and last night’s Hog Hunt with Guide Zev was a perfect reminder that every field and every hour brings something different.
The night kicked off with a pair of Wild Hogs. The setup came together quickly, and the team recovered one solid hog before the night took a turn into some challenging conditions.
Shortly after, a thick layer of fog rolled across the fields, making visibility tough and slowing down the thermal signatures that hunters rely on. Fog is one of the biggest challenges in Night Hunting — it diffuses heat, reduces contrast, and forces guides to rely heavily on field experience and careful movement.
As the team continued scanning different farms, the ground conditions added to the challenge. Days of recent rain left the roads and pivots soft, and navigating the fields required patience and slow driving to keep the van from sinking into the mud. That’s part of Hog Hunting real farmland — conditions change constantly, and hunters adapt right along with them.
Even with the fog and difficult terrain, spirits stayed high. The crew enjoyed the adventure, shared stories during downtime, and got to experience what true Thermal Hog Hunting is all about:
unpredictable conditions, quick opportunities, and the thrill of chasing wild hogs through working South Georgia farmland.
Every Boar Hunt is different, and every night teaches something new. That’s what makes Hog SWAT special — real Wild Hog Hunts, real conditions, and real experiences you can’t get anywhere else.
Another night in the books, and another hog recovered under the Georgia night sky.
Hog Hunting with Hog SWAT

Every guide remembers their first official night leading a thermal hog hunt — and Jordan’s first Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT had everything: long scans, shifting wind, perfect setups falling apart, pigs vanishing into cover, drone support from above, and finally… a hard-earned three-hog recovery after hours of persistence.
This was the exact kind of night that shows why South Georgia Thermal Hog Hunting is so unpredictable, so intense, and so rewarding.
The Night Begins – P Farms
Jordan started the night, scanning with thermals while Daniel flew the drone overhead to sweep the large agricultural system. For 30 minutes, they checked pivots, tree lines, edges, and clearings.
Nothing but deer and cattle.
A classic slow start.
He checked West P next — still only deer. With pressure building and no pigs holding still, Jordan moved on.
Finally, Movement
Back toward W Farms, things changed instantly.
Jordan pulled up to a pivot and was immediately greeted by a Sounder of Hogs feeding on the south end of the field. Finally — a chance.
The Stalk:
Wind: perfect
Noise: low
Pigs: calm and unaware
Distance closed: from 100 yards to ~65 yards
Jordan lined up the hunters on three Big Hogs bunched together — the dream scenario. But as they locked into their tripods, the wind shifted at the worst possible moment.
One pig lifted its head.
Caught scent.
And the entire sounder melted into the trees.
A perfect setup erased by a single breeze.
Movement agian
Regrouping, Jordan moved the team to new fields.
Nothing. Not even movement.
So he returned to Farm before hoping the earlier sounder had returned — and unbelievably, another group had moved in.
But as soon as the team approached, these pigs vanished into the exact same bush line as the earlier sounder. No wind issues, no noise… just pure bad luck.
Hope Returns – Drone Spots a Sounder Nearby
Feeling the weight of the night, Jordan radioed Daniel and asked him to sweep the fields north of their location. Within minutes, Daniel sent:
📸 A thermal picture of a sounder
📍 Pinged coordinates
Hope restored.
Jordan immediately repositioned the team, driving about 200 yards up the road to set up a new stalk.
The Final Stalk – Everything Comes Together
Jordan scanned the treeline for 200 yards, then climbed a pivot to get elevation.
There they were:
6+ pigs feeding peacefully with deer nearby.
He hugged the treeline, checked the wind — now pushing west — and took the team straight into the field toward the sounder.
At 65–75 yards, one hog drifted closer than the rest.
Jordan set up the hunters.
They took their chance…
But the hog didn’t go down.
Another close call. Another heartbreak.
And then — the miracle of the night:
The sounder didn’t leave the field. They simply shifted north.
Jordan immediately reset the stalk, tightened the approach, and lined everyone up again.
This time, it clicked.
One hog went down on the opening volley.
The sounder split in all directions.
Another hog ran straight toward the hunters, offering a perfect opportunity.
A third hog was recovered shortly after as they checked the field. You read how the 3rd was recovered next.
Three hogs recovered. A guide’s first successful hunt. A night redeemed.
A Baby Hog Encounter to End the Night
As the crew moved to gather the 2 hogs, Jordan heard movement.
A small piglet came running toward them in the dark.
He calmly warned the hunters to cover their ears and safely stopped the charge — securing the third hog of the night.
Wrapping Up at 3:00 AM
All three hogs were gathered, photographed, field-processed, and brought back to the van. The hunters were:
Respectful
Easy to guide
Excellent listeners
Fully engaged the entire night
A perfect group for a first-time guide to work with.
Jordan checked one last field and called it at 3:00 AM, officially ending a marathon of effort, wind battles, tracking, and teamwork.
A Strong Start to Jordan’s Guiding Career
Three hogs recovered.
Multiple stalks.
Perfect communication.
Smart decisions.
And no quit in him.
Jordan’s first hunt as a Hog SWAT guide wasn’t easy — but it showcased exactly what makes Thermal Hog Hunting in Georgia so real:
No guarantees
Every decision matters
Wind can make or break a stalk
Persistence pays off
Teamwork (especially with drones) changes everything
A successful first night and a sign of many great Wild Hog Hunts to come.
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.
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.

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.

Night one of this two-night Georgia Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT kicked off with fast action and great company.
Guide Zev and his hunters set up on a Sounder of Wild Hogs near the Half Moon field by the tanks — a spot known for steady pig movement through the fall. Once the group got in range, the thermals lit up with heat signatures, and the Hog Hunt was on. Everything rang out, and several pigs were re-homed, with two recovered in the field before the rest made it into the trees.
That’s how it goes with Thermal Hog Hunting — quick decisions, unpredictable movement, and the excitement of real-time action under the night sky. The hunters handled it like pros, and the camaraderie made the night even better.
At Hog SWAT, every Wild Hog Hunt is different. We don’t sit and wait — we stalk, spot, and engage. Using the latest thermal, we track wild hogs across South Georgia farmland, helping landowners manage populations while giving hunters a true adrenaline-filled experience.
Whether it’s your first hunt or your fiftieth, Hog SWAT delivers the real deal — Guided Hog Hunts in Georgia with experienced guides, top-tier gear, and action you’ll never forget.
