Average rednecks usually have used pickup. Well heeled rednecks have new trucks, Ford Platinum or etc. and probably a dually or at least 3/4 ton 4x4

Interesting. I guess I would have gone up and talked to them. From your photos looks like you could have easily done it without messing you hunt any more than you did.

My guess it was a warning that someone (probably a neighbor) was alert - maybe they have had problems with poachers in the area. This person saw the pickup and wanted to make it known that they were on the lookout - if hunting honestly, no foul, but if illegal/trespassing, maybe a warning to avoid the area. I bet he would be pretty wigged out if he knew that he was being viewed through NV by a skilled hunter.

I don’t touch other people’s property, period. That includes tying a flag on a door for whatever reason.
I would have been tempted to “shake him up” a little.
Pretty certain I would have.

No way to know at the time what the hogs would do. My thoughts are you drove up in a truck and he is sitting there with a vehicle idling. Your close enough to see this hear this and record it. Seems like you could have went and said howdy without blowing your hunt. I like hog hunting, but I would have gone and figured out what was happening blown hunt or not. Then you wouldn't be wondering. Just what I would have done.

The large head, that profile and distinctive nose made me remember. It's that Dude in the movie 'Jeepers Creepers'.....I'm sure of it. You were wise to stay put.

I'd do the opposite of this if I witnessed what DNS did. If someone was merely shining a flashlight in and scanning the car... my guess is they were simply curious and would be on their way within a few minutes. No sense in interrupting the hunt over some stranger's curiosity. If that same person started fidgeting with the door handle of my car... in the middle of nowhere... at night... odds are they are trying to break in. I value my life over my property. Approaching a potential thief is a recipe for disaster. No sense in putting your life at risk for what is probably less than $1,000 in potential damages.

I just hope I could do that too. My first response would be to engage. Especially if I had all the night vision stuff DNS has. Again, you do have the logical point.

I would have certainly approached him and would have been ready to throw down. My face gets hot when I even think about it. With all that sweet gear probably even moreso, if it were me and this guy were a crook he would have been royally screwed. DNS is a good and patient man indeed.

If the big headed guy isn't ballsy enough to search a random truck in the dark on the side of the road, he's probably carrying a weapon and if you approach him, he's likely to reach for it and use it at the drop of a hat. The smart move is to do what DNS did. Keep your distance, observe and ask questions later.

If the guy was shining his light in the field twice, looks in your truck and flags it. Sounds like a nosy neighbor or someone that frequents out there just checking the situation out and probably not for bad intentions.
If I was a thief and saw a truck parked like that, I would have waited by the truck for a few minutes listening to see or hear if anyone is around, if not I would discretely shine the flashlight in the truck only to see if there was anything worth getting in trouble for. I certainly would not shine my light into a field alerting the owner that I was up to no good with his truck!
And like Skinner I would have engaged the person based off his passive actions.

He might have flagged your truck then called the GW, the flag marking your truck as the one in question for the GW.
