The sad reality is that there are people who want to do bad things to other people. You just never know. I have been conditioned to react to a hinky feeling. If you want a good read, get "the gift of fear". Your gut is almost never wrong. I had a kid walk up and knock on my door. No cars in the drive and no sign anyone was home. I didn't answer the door, but got a hinky feeling. 15 minutes later a big guy came up to my door, no knock, just trying the doorknob, looking at windows, walking into my fenced back yard. He had no business around my house. I think they were having the kid knock and if there wasn't a response, they come and try to find a way in. I had two full grown wolves at the time and I loosed them into the back yard as well as the sound of a 12 ga. pump racking one into the chamber literally made him pee his pants. He had at least one good bite mark on his butt as well. I learned to trust my gut, and it has never let me down. A guy standing in the woods staring at me would get at the very least a WTH are you looking at. If your git was telling you something was wrong...it was..
