I worried MUCH more about unknowingly crossing into a bull's pasture than waking up the farmers,

I lived near a cattle farm that bordered my "burb" or subdivision as they were called back then and they usually had some Brangas and Angus and Brahmin bulls penned off in 5 -10 acre lots. We would of course go and taunt the bulls. Funny thing about bulls...one day they will act like you are not there. The next day they will try to crush you into the fence. I can imagine a rowdy bull being rather aggravated by a slinking group of you and your pals easing thru his domain at night. That would have made a funny video. You and your team scampering across a field with a bull in pursuit. I suppose you guys were encouraged to avoid local livestock casualties if at all possible..lol. I bet your average farmer would be rather suprised to find his bull the next morning shot to hell by fire bursts. That combined with alien crop circles could drive one over the edge.

It was a pretty bad feeling to hear the bull snorting in the dark when you are about 200 yards from the nearest tall wire fence! Never got gored though, and even with the yelling and running we never woke up the farmers.
