Some Hog Hunts are fast and furious. Others are a grind. This one was the latter—but what a payoff.
Guide Kaleb recently led a 2 Night Thermal Hog Hunt for a Father and Son Hunting Duo that reminded us all why we do this: not just for the Pigs, but for the Hunting Memories made under the stars, the miles walked in the dark, and the satisfaction of earning every chance.
The first night started slow. Real slow. Field after field turned up nothing but deer. Spirits began to fade, and by 3:30 a.m., you could feel the discouragement setting in. But Kaleb wasn’t ready to call it. He made one last push, one final sweep of a back field—and at 5:30 a.m., it paid off. A Sounder of Pigs.
They were jittery right from the start. We made a careful stalk, but they weren’t making it easy. Still, Kaleb got the hunters into position. The chance was farther than ideal, but the opportunity wasn’t going to get better. It was now or never. The team connected, and though the Hogs made it to the woods, it was a thrilling way to end an otherwise slow night. The father and son were both Top-Notch Hunters—resilient, positive, and a blast to Wild Hog Hunt with despite the long wait.
Night two came with its own challenges. We had a Sow and her young hanging close to the treeline. Kaleb and the Hog Hunters set up in the field, ready for them to step out. After about 30 minutes, just when it looked like they were going to make a move, a deer blew our cover—literally—and spooked the whole setup.
Later in the night, we spotted a Lone Hog out in the open. It took a long walk and a careful stalk to get in range, with the moon bright and deer watching from every corner. But patience and persistence paid off. The Hunters locked in and made it count.
As the night wound down, we made one last check before calling it. Nothing at first—then a Sounder way off in the distance. The sun was about to rise, so we had to move fast. Kaleb led the final stalk, and it all came together. Both hunters landed solid chances, each re-homing a Wild Hog just before first light. The others escaped into the woods, but the smiles said it all.
We finished the Thermal Hog Hunt under a colorful South Georgia sunrise, swapping stories and laughing about the night’s events. These guys were a joy to guide, and the Guided Hog Hunt reminded us that the best moments often come when you push through the quiet stretches and keep grinding.

At Hog SWAT, every Hog Hunt has its own story—and sometimes, it’s the unpredictable nights that leave the strongest memories. Guide Kaleb recently led a two-night Thermal Hog Hunt that brought its share of excitement, challenges, and a whole lot of laughter.
Night one started off slow, but momentum picked up when the group spotted a Lone Hog early on. The team worked together seamlessly, and it was one of those perfect moments that makes it all worthwhile. While the rest of the night was quiet on the fields, the energy stayed high. “Lots of laughs and great conversations,” Kaleb said. “These guys were awesome to spend the night Hunting Wild Hogs with.”
Night two kicked off with some early action as a Coyote came into a call. Chances were taken, but the coyote slipped away. Not long after, the crew got on a Sounder of Hogs that led them on a chase across the field—twice around a running pivot. Eventually, the group had a clear opportunity, and several Pigs were looked like they were almost re-homed, but none remained in the field. Later that night, they spotted another Group Of Wild Hogs, but a distant sound that i’m not allowed to say because google can be weird spooked the animals before anything could develop. To wrap things up, they pulled into one last field and spotted another Coyote in the Wild. A quick mouth call brought it in close, but once again, it managed to slip away.
Despite the wild ups and downs, the experience was everything a great Wild Hog Hunt should be. “These were some of the best guys I’ve guided yet,” Kaleb said. “Tons of laughs and some awesome memories made.”
At Hog SWAT, that’s what it’s all about—long nights, good people, and stories that’ll last well beyond the Hog Hunting Season.

Every Hog Hunt has its own story, and some nights play out like a scene from a movie. On a recent Thermal Hog Hunt with Hog SWAT, Guide Hank led a group through an unforgettable night full of twists, turns, and the kind of unpredictable Wild Hog Action that keeps us coming back for more.
It all began around midnight when Hank spotted a Sounder in the distance. The team began a careful stalk, moving quietly through the Planted Field. But just as they were getting close, one sharp-eyed Pig caught a glimpse of movement and took off—leading the rest of the group deeper into the field.
Not ones to give up easily, Hank and the Hunters recalibrated and started a second approach. Confidence was high. Then, out of nowhere, two Coyotes came charging over the hill straight toward the Sounder Of Hogs. What could’ve ended the night actually turned into a wild advantage.
In a surprising twist, the Sows stood their ground and pushed back, creating a noisy standoff that distracted the group just long enough for Hank and the team to settle in and make the most of the opportunity. It was a moment that required patience, precision, and quick decision-making.
After that burst of action, the team continued scanning the fields until 4 a.m., soaking in the quiet beauty of rural South Georgia and the thrill of the chase. The night wrapped up with stories, laughs, and the satisfaction of a Wild Hog Hunt well executed.
Whether you’re a First-Time Hunter or a Seasoned Hunter , nights like these are what Hog SWAT is all about—real action, real strategy, and real memories.
