the closest I have come to being "charged" was when I jumped a bedded Mule Deer in a Nebraska milo field while on an early morning pheasant drive.

I was probably 8 or 10 yards away from this big buck when he heard me crashing through the crotch high foilage, he got up and barreled right at me and bolted right past me at arms length, cleared the cattle fence which was about 20 yds behind me like it wasnt there and then I cleaned my shorts.

I must say that the first time I quail hunted, I had the same trouser warming experience when a covey busted all around me in a Texas scrub field/pasture.... not ever having experienced how tight they hold,,,I didn't even get the safety off.

Yeah I know that neither of these episodes are as harrowing as a charge from DG but my wife doesn't... when I tell her of all the dangers I face just to put food on the table!
