A few years back I went for a morning hunt and caught a couple of pigs.  This was late summer and it was very hot.  I was home by noon. That afternoon I was hanging deer feeders on the backside of my subdivision once I had the feeder hung I heard some rustling in the brusk and I thought great the deer are already here.  I started looking for the deer when out pops one of the biggest spotted boars I have ever seen.  So I slip out of there real quiet and haul a$$ back to the house.  This was about 3:00 p.m. and 100 degrees now looking back I should have waited until night but I got too exited.  I had never seen any hogs this close to my house and knew no one ever hunts back there and it being so hot I thought this ole boar would just stand there and let us bay him. Wrong!  Once I get to the house I start loading up dogs I have to take my second team because the first team is about 20 miles away.  I load up 4 or 5 worn out dogs probably my second mistake.  Probably should have just taken 1 or 2 dogs but I don't have cd he is also 20 miles away.  I turn them lose on this boar and they find him and he takes off like a rocket.  So much for my easy to bay theory.  I'm a foot so hear we go they finally bay about a mile away and I huff it in there to find a sow and a few shoats.  No big boar around he ran right through this bunch and ran out the back side, what a gentleman!  Of course all the dogs bayed up on the sow they were too worn out to catch so I shot her and the ol' spotted boar got away never to be seen again.  A few months after this all the hogs cleared out and I haven't seen any hogs or sighn in a year on this place.  I have had big boars do this to me several times.  I think this is an instinctive reaction even if they have never seen a dog before.  I have had it happen on places that have had no dogs on it.  It's a good plan for the boars because most of the times it works.
