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.

  There are still a bunch of open lots here in our sub-division so being  
  mobil could help. 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.
