Just my 2 cents for what it is worth. I personally dont think any animal has the ability to think through any thing. Animals act on pure instinct.
IMO a hog is a smart animal and has the capabity to think through a situation. If that hog in that very moment feels running is going to increase his chance of survival hes gonna do it. If he thinks holdin still is be better its gonna do that. I dont know about yahl but i look at it as when i go to the woods the hogs already know im there. Im no expert but thats my opinion
