Hmmm....my squirrel thinning with rocks and a wrist rocket sling shot 
failed...I pegged the little critters all right, but they simply fell to the 
ground and ran off.  

However I found something that worked darn good,  I borrowed a friend's 
blowgun...cripes, I practiced maybe 15 minutes and nailed my first squirrel.  
Quiet, accurate, and fairly safe to use in the city.  Amazingly you can 
generate enough power with a puff of air to literally impale the things right 
to the tree.  You have to be sort of careful though, because the darts are 
not necessarily easy to remove and the squirrel may not be dead.  I found a 
pair of anvil pruners solves the safety issue.
