I've only ever been charged by a rabbit and it was blind as well and actually heading for its warren.

But I was almost charged by a hog deer one time, except again it was only running up hill and when it saw me it diverted and ran past. I actually fumbled the reload and had it been a real mean hog deer it would have had me!

But I had already shot it and it died a few metres in the thick ferns behind me.

The CLOSEST to a dangerous game charge was a scrub bull which I had shot too far back with a flanking or arse shot. Then another to the chest when it turned. Then IT DID come CHARGING down the hill snorting and looking for me. However this Elmer Fudd hid behind a tree to reload his .450 DR and then popped around and shot it again in the shoulder/chest, a huge spray of blood in the air and it collapsed.

So one reason few might be answered is real charges are often quite rare outside of magazines and the internet.

IMO anyway.

Hopefully some guys can comment though from real experience.

I do like the idea of my .450 NE double rifle with 480 gr RNSP or FMJs if ever needed for this purpose though.
