Strangely enough, it is not uncommon for people lost in the woods to hide from searchers. It is not a rational behavior at all; it stems from being mentally impaired by exhaustion, dehydration, low blood sugar, hypothermia or whatever. Adults do this too. I suspect it is a lizard-brain reaction that takes over when the higher brain functions aren't, well, functioning.
