This might have been a good night for you Boo. It goes like this: you sit in the dark for a couple hours, listening to coyotes howl and who knows what else. It is 41 degrees and really calm with unbelievable stars. Turn on the varmint light every few minutes and watch coons eat your $7.50 a bag corn, then finally when you hear loud crunching turn on the light and shoot quick before the hogs run off. After she was down a hog came up to about 20 yards from the blind (staying well hidden in the cedars) and growled at me for about 10 minutes. I waited for awhile before I climbed down. Of course, then there's the field dressing and the sit around the campfire. It was one of those rare nights when it was cold enough to put off the skinning/quartering to the next morning.
It's more comfortable later in the year, but the bugs are worse. Thank God for the Thermocell.

I wouldn't call Gorno a hog (as far as he knows). Anybody who lives in Chicagoland and keeps even a fraction of their sanity deserves some respect...not a lot, but some. Since WGN is on the dish I can get a little reminder any time I want. We lived there for 17 years, worked for Bell Labs in Naperville. Don't miss that area. No piggys to shoot.
