Correct. You don't want to get kicked.
I've heard of people who have been.
Years ago I was so angry at a young buck that was eating
my bean plants that I contemplated taking 'more aggressive'
action and swatting the thing on it's ass to get it to go away.
I mean - it was ignoring me as I stood ten feet away yelling at it.
But I thought - 'This guy could kick me - and that could be bad'.
So I thought better of it - and let it eat the bean plants.
Which he did - stems and all - right down flush with the ground.

"What bean plants? There never were any here. You must have been hallucinating..."
.
Pink, pinto and black bean plants about two feet tall - all gone in under 20 minutes.
Better to get behind something like a wheelbarrow and turn a hose spray on them. If you hose them hard to sting, you might also get attacked.
