[QUOTE="deli_llama, post: 2127880, member: 25974"] I have had the feeling too. Something tells you, "you shouldn't be there." It forces you to stop, look around, and constantly check your back. I have had that feeling camping, and it was just hard to sleep through the night. I am waiting on my ccw, so I just had my hand on my knife the rest of the night. A few weeks ago I was hunting alone, and tracking through dense forest looking for rabbits, and possibly hog. I kept seeing hog signs, and it was eerily quiet. This land is so densely wooded that there may only be 5 ft of open area to move about in before the trees and brush stack tightly upon each other, only revealing the occasional chunk of blue sky. Only slow, deliberate movement is allowed, and the proverbial "orange Rhino" could go unnoticed. After noticing a 3.5"-4" wide hog print, and passing what appeared to be a bedding areas, I found my self in a confined clearing, the size of a boxing ring, surrounded by dense reeds, again concealing anything behind it. Right as I thought to myself, "this would be the worst time to track into a hog." I heard the snarling grunt of an unseen hog that must have been only ten feet from me. I could sense the aggression in it's tone, but could not locate the would be attacker. One snorting proclamation of territory, then silence. The silence was the worst. I had no bearing on the agitated pig, and no room to retreat--A stand-off. I removed my side arm from its holster, pointed it in the general direction of the offended pig, and my only option was to wait. The next 15 minutes felt like hours, and once the situation cooled down, I couldn't wait to leave. I had that same eerie, overwhelming feeling as I walked out of the bush. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching me, or tracking me. I guess what I am saying, is it is a real thing. There is a reason for the alarm. Sometimes we know what it is, sometimes we don't. [/QUOTE]
