I was walking through a shin deep swamp last year to get to a tree stand I had 100 yards inside the woods on the other side. Something was in the water walking with me. I would take a couple of steps then stop, then it would take a couple of splashy steps and stop. It was pacing me about 50 yards away along the tree line. I carry an unlight flashlight in my hand for these such instances. When I shinned my light towards the noise I couldn't see any eyes shining back at me. Gave me the creeps sumpin fearce. Best I could figure it was a pig, their eyes are not supposed to reflect light like a deer or coons.

I'm surprised nobody posted about having late night run ins with wild pigs. Twice I've made it to my stand and while at the base of the tree had a pig grunt within 15 feet of me. One was a ladder stand and I shimmied up the steps in no time, the other was a climber and I hadn't tied my bow to the rope yet. I made a hasty knot and jumped in the climber then raced up to 8 feet before slowing down.
That's one thing about getting to your stand in the dark in pig country, I never feel safe until I've climbed 8-10' up the tree, then its like "ahhh I made it"
