I spent a couple of happy hours bagging more Messier objects than I ever had before, when ... something ... whitish and four-legged appeared and moved slowly around the campsite. I have no idea what it might have been, but it was pretty large!

Usually a deer, in my experience. They tend to have very little fear of people, especially at night. Deer are the only animals that annoy me on a routine basis when I'm stargazing. They clearly feel that I'm on their turf, and make that fact abundantly clear.

Moose have even less fear of people.
