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.
