I'm up in Burleson County this weekend. The normal hunting is going on. We have a picnic table 150 or so yards from a feeder. I like sitting there and watching. In the past I've shot hogs from there with no problems. Here lately it seems I knock them right down only to have them get up and leave. We usually find them the next morning with the help of the buzzards. This place is really thick with brush and trying to find them in the dark is very difficult. Two nights ago right at dark I shot the lead sow in a group of about ten. She went down and was squealing her ass off. I knew something was not right, but she was kicking up so much dust I couldn't get another in her. She took off like a rocket. I located buzzards the next day, but did not go off in the crap they were in.
Moral of the story is, if its right at dark when the day scope is getting worthless and its too bright for NV is to get closer if possible.
