This is a biggie.  Most of the incidents occur when there is no blockage
to keep the "herd" from running though.  While I would not want to use
my tent to block a stamped, the judicious use of brush, trailer, truck,
trees, fences, etc., to divert the herd from getting a direct shot at
your critters whether in a electric fence, pipe fence, picket line or
tied to a trailer will be the best defense.
