One year I was deer hunting on a knob near an orchard and saw a nice 8 pt looking up at me from a brushpile half way up. I had to shoot quickly because he was getting ready to run. I shot and saw it flinch and then saw it running right at me. I was kind of shocked and jumped backwards as it ran 3' from me.I instinctively shot from the hip and missed at 3'. The deer dropped about 25' from me and the only hole was from the first shot. I don't know if it charged or just ran blindly after a fatal hit. I do know they can run real fast and the sight of sharp antlers passing 3' away still makes me wonder.
