I do remember that in at least MHF2, you could hide from monsters if they hadn't already spotted you (this applies only to large monsters for some reason) if you would both crouch and hide behind one of the usually very inconveniantly placed shrubberies. This worked when I was trying to sneak up on a rathalos to cut his tail some more.
