I feel as hunters we see and hear things that John Q Public types haven't trained themselves to notice.
On two occasions I heard a voice that kept me out of harms way. One time it said "CAR" as I crested a blind hill to meet a speeding car in my lane. When I heard "CAR I pulled off out of the way, it happened in seconds and was pure reflex.
The next time it was a booming baritone voice that shouted "SNAKE" while I was walking a deer trail squirrel hunting, always looking up, never looking at the ground. Upon hearing the voice I looked down to found my next step would have been on a coiled cottonmouth as big around as my arm. His mouth was open and he was ready to lay into me, he didn't survive our encounter.
The bottom line, there is much more to this world than we will ever know or be able to explain. In my case, I am pretty sure I have a guardian angel that keeps me from doing excessively dumb things on impulse as well as giving me an occasional warning to keep me out of harms way.
