The only time I've seen them "hold" is a hen on a nest. And once they think you are too close, they'll flush off the nest. I've traversed clear cut areas that are covered in briars and brambles, not hunting, and not knowing a hen was near, only to have her launch herself into the air and fly away when I was 10 or 20 feet away.
