In case anybody ever is in this situation, I've heard and seen on a couple videos that animals are afraid of things being thrown at them. Any time they see something moving that's not supposed to move it's because of a lot of strength. So throwing a handful of small rocks at it is generally enough to scare it away.

Here's a YouTube short of rock throwing in action.

That being said there are no stories of throwing a rock and it not working so take that as you will
