I have been run into by a doe and jumped over by a buck.
I was at the ranch filling feeder one summer and finished in the late afternoon. I decided to grab the AR15 and go call some coyotes...I walked in to a tank that had a fresh 80 yard wide root plowed strip north of it (to the fence) and heavy brush on the other side of the fence. I backed up into some brush growing on top of the tank dam and hit the mouth call...the brush on the other side of the fence just exploded with deer and a big old doe jumped the fence headed right at me...she must have thought it was a fawn in distress...she came right at me at a dead run, ran up the tank dam and cleared the top in the air and saw me backed up under the brush...she hit the ground at a full skid and slid right into my chest LOL. Scared the heck out of both of us...
I was rattling on a cold rainy day (post rut) in a similar situation...I was sitting on the ground backed up in a mot of brush about 10' in diameter...after about 20 minutes I rattled a little 8 point in...he came from behind me and walked right up in front of me and stopped about 3' away. He was looking all around for the fight...I decided to play with him...he wandered back around to the other side of the brush and I tinkled the horns...he came running back around with his hair standing up and stopped right in front of me looking all around. I did this twice more and he was getting more and more frustrated that he couldn't find the fight...he wandered off again and I tinkled the horns and the next thing I knew his front feet hit he ground right between my knees and his back feet clipped my shoulders...he had jumped right over the brush trying to "catch" the other deer that he thought were hiding from him...he stumbled and caught himself and then looked back and finally saw me and nearly turned himself inside out trying to get out of there...Last edited by cosmiccowboy; 11-17-2008, 12:52 PM.

Buff has a great video of a big hog that almost ended up in the pop-up with him.
