<upd_refs>can't find any reliable source for "ぼうにあたる" meaning "getting hit with a stick" rather than "walk into a stick"
but it's hard to tell!

"50年ほどの違いではあるが、災難説、幸運説どちらが先だったかということは、これだけでは判断できない。ただし、「犬棒カルタ」の絵は、犬が棒に当たって顔を
しかめているものが多いので、災難説が主流なのかも知れない。"

it doesn't look as if the dog is walking into a stick here. not obvious they're being hit with it either. either way "stick" seems more 
appropriate than "pole" for the [lit]
