Wow, I never thought of it like that. There have been times when I'm crusing some old logging road out in the middle of nowhere(no cell phone reception up in the mountains either) and come across a couple of guys just "loitering around". No guns, not hunting season, no camp. nothin. The kind that just stare at you as you pass and give you the creeps. Happen upon alot of strangers while out walking while deer hunting too. No law up there and if something awfull really did happen, you're the only one who is gonna save your life. Not many people around to hear you yell HELP out there. Never hunt alone is the best method I suppose.
I hate to profile or stereo-type or whatever but sometimes you just get a gut a feeling. I'd feel alot more secure if I stumbled on someone I was unsure of with a nice, somewhat compact, quick handling .357 on my hip.
