Default Weird Experience Bow Hunting?

So I was walking back to my vehicle tonight after dark bow in hand. And a mid 90's chev passed me. Went down to the intersection and turned around. I thought no big deal obviously just a local neighbor looking to make sure I was alright to hunt. Ive been stopped by a lot of people before and never had an issue. Being pre-cautious I put and arrow in my bow and unclipped the buck knife on my hip. The truck came back by me, and slowed down but did not stop. They drove a couple hundred meters in front of me and stopped at my vehicle for a few minutes. After that another vehicle approached and the 90's chev drove up the road approximately 300M, to talk to the new vehicle.

They sat there while I got into my vehicle and drove off. The part that weirds me out about this is, most of the time when people are checking me as a hunter they stop and ask what your hunting, if you know so and so, etc.... These guys didnt do any of that. Which has me a bit paranoid, especially with the local break-ins and the cop shooting the other day. Should I be concerned, or am I just over thinking the situation?

FYI I called the land owner and he hadn't heard from anyone...

I don’t see an issue with being prepared. You were alone in the dark away from any close by help and somebody does a slow drive by checking you out twice then confers with someone else before you vacate the area? I’d be exercising caution too. I once had a vehicle do the same to me in West Virginia late one night while I was pulled over in my transport on the side of a quiet out of the way two lane highway checking my map. When they made their third turn around to come back I thought this isn’t good and started moving. They followed me over twenty miles and finally turned back when I rolled onto the Interstate Hwy. With all the crap going down these days I think you are wise to be alert and prepared.

I wouldn't be worried unless it was a black dodge dually or you saw a pool noodle.
