A different view

It has never happened to me before, in all the years of dealing with bucks in rut. There are 2 different breeding herds, with space between them. I let the outer pasture herd into the barn to eat grain, then ran them back out to pasture, as their were 2 does in that herd in heat. Bucks will fight through fences and tear them down if they come face to face. I thought everything was okay, I went into the dominant buck's pasture. I herd a stampede coming, I saw him out the corner of my eye, but it was fast. He hit me with all he had, I managed to climb over the fence, as he was still eyeing me, I lay on the barn floor, there was no feeling in my right leg for about 30 minutes, then I got up and hobbled about the rest of the morning. After all the morning chores I went to the house and checked my leg. It is twice as big as my left leg, looks like a whole pork tenderloin is strapped to it. The good thing is he didn't hit full force on my knee or bone. The best thing to do is stay off it, which means on my back looking up at the ceiling, I can't take that. The buck will be featured in a middle eastern stew by Saturday.
