Regarding Chasing Animals

[Zeronine]

So, I've at this point in time slain a couple of boars, a deer and a couple of foxes. Hunting seems to work out very similar to the old Haven.
This leaves me with a question though:
During my second boar, after having chased it for about 3 seconds after it started running, I suddenly got KO'd and lost 20-ish hhp (presumably from the boar) but it didn't skip a beat running, and was still on peaceful intent towards me
So I guess my question is, are animals intended to "telekinetically attack" you while you chase them and they haven't yet turned around and gone agro again?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Odd. No clue. Sounds strange to say the least.
