As a wolf, Sam depends on his senses to orient himself. Plus, he seems to be just as anxious as a wolf as he is as a human. Sam needs to know where he is. The gunfire of the hunters causes chaos, and with chaos comes even more fear.

Quote #6

I sincerely regretted not kissing [Grace] a moment ago. (17.63)

Again, Sam lets his anxiety get the better of him, and it practically renders him paralyzed. Later, he regrets his inaction, but he can't turn back time.
