I've never been charged by a deer, but I have been by big big Texas pig.

It was one of my first, a cool calm drizzly Februaryday in South Central Texas. I saw a lone boar about 200 yards in a grass field and began the sneak. I belly crawled through the "mud, and the blood and the sweat in my eyes" and would peak up every now and then. I couldn't find him and knew that I had to be close. I looked to my left and there he was, about 20 yards broadside feed parallel to me. I sat on my knees and watched him for a few seconds and then decided I was going to get closer (stupid). Anyway, I crawl up to within 15 yards and come to full draw on my knees, settle the pin and let it go. The arrow drills him right behind the should and lodges in the off side shoulder blade. This is wear it got wild... the pig turns and runs straight to me, stops at 4 yards with my arrow sticking out of his side. I'm pretty sure that I peed my pants but not positive because my pants were wet from belly crawling. He stood there for what seemed like a decade before leaving. I was shaking so bad I couldn't get an arrow out of my quiver. But I survived and I still stalk pigs to close distance on the ground... call me stupid but it sure is fun.
