0008527: Dwarf is terrified from hunting
When hunting, my dwarves will often say (as reported in the combat reports), "I must withdraw!" and/or "Help! Save me!". Looking at their status screen, they are "Overcome by terror" and get a "terrified while in conflict" thought, and they can be seen running away.

I can't think why a dwarf would be terrified while hunting a wombat or other relatively harmless wild animal, so I think it's a bug.
Look at hunters' combat reports; you'll probably see instances of this happening. It may depend on a dwarf's personality too.
No tags attached.
