That hasn't happened to me with dogs, yet.  I just ain't been at it long enough, I'm sure it will.

I have been pretty scared by hogs before.  I was walking out of a big CRP field after an evening of deer hunting.  The field met a wheatfield, then I'd walk along the edge of the wheatfield another 600 yards or so to my truck.  As I got to where the CRP and wheat met, I smelled hogs.  I'd walked right into a big group of them.  They all started moving around & soon nearly all were directly downwind of me.  The only thing for me to climb was a big fencepost at the gate..... so I decided to try to find one to shoot, then climb.  There was a big hog standing just inside the wheat about 25 yards from me, and I could find him wiht my binos, but not my scope.  The hogs that were downwind of me woofed at me for a while, but what really unnerved me was one hog in particular that stood there and kinda growled.  He would do it with every breath, just a low growling noise.  Of course you could hear lots and lots of jaw popping.  It seemed like a long time, but probably only lasted 30 seconds.  They finally all bolted and ran to a creekbottom behind me.  When I got back to the house, one of my buddies was there & he asked me what happened.  He said I was white as a sheet.  That's the only time I felt really helpless in a situatin like that.  I really thought it was gonna be "fight or flight."  Luckily the hogs felt the same way & they all ran off.
