He actually entertains three possibly escapes. He thinks about climbing a tree, which he dismisses because it's "putting all his eyes in one basket". Then, he thinks about breaking through their attack line like a boar. He decides against this because he realizes they will just turn around and continue stalking him. Finally, he thinks about trying to hide as well as possible and hoping they pass right by him. This is what he decides to do, which of course doesn't work because of the fire they start to flush him out.
