it took me three different times to get a fat grey tree rat in my back yard last week.
on the last throw i had figured out that no matter how quiet i was either my clothes made noise or when i released it...anyway he heard it and made his move a split secod before the stick got to him....
on the third try i figured this out...
made my throw to where i thought he would take off too....
he turned other direction!
my stick took a bad bounce and tumbled in his direction!!!!
and just barley touched him and he lay still
now, i get up to him with no stick in my hand as he was closer that the stick..
now get this.
HE WOKE UP!
he must have either got nocked out or just passed out from pure fright of treebranches wizzing past his head!!!lol
and he started clawing me with is hind feet,as i had his tail in my hand,and we was grabbing onto handfulls of grass trying to pull himself away!
what the heck!
no weapon in hand and seriously getting f'ed up by his claws i threw whipped him into the corner of my white shed! now its got a little color to it..
!
what a fight! 
hes in the freezer waiting for a couple more for a full meals,and his skin is stretched and ready for making a bowstring.
i took some animals with a throwing stick,some i cant realy say as to prying eyes but it can be done!
it is tree rat season here also.
