Actually it wasn't charging at all, but merely running uphill directly at me after being shot. I fumbled the reload, the deer saw me and changed direction, passing a few metres from me. Crashed into the bush and died from the first shot. Had it been truly something after me, deer or not, it would have got me.
I was also "charged" by a blind rabbit too once. I side stepped it, and shot it at point blank range as it also passed.
As for "dangerous" game, a scrub bull after being shot came crashing down hill looking as if it was looking for me. I hid behind a tree and reloaded my double and shot it from behind the tree. I wonder what it would have done had I stepped out so it could see me. Either charged or run off the opposite direction.
Several elephant this year were supposed to charge but everytime they turned and ran off.
