If the thing that was snorting was a feral pig, TWRA encourages you to kill them. And besides, they taste good. I love the little brown bats, even if they do eat my moths.

I have a nice camping/emergency lamp that gives out a soft blue light that might work. The one night I was on the outside of my fence in the grown-over open lot next door was freaky...big moths were flying into my back and not landing long enough to photograph, bats were swooping down to catch moths and something was running around in the tall grass snorting.......Jean, your boonies sounds wonderful.
