Build a better 1/2 acre fence that is crazy expensive (to meet HOA requirements)? No.
As I said...shooting them isn't an option.
But I expected a "do it way different than what was asked", because that is peak outdoors board.
Don't most HOA's require a privacy fence? Sounds like you need to fix the bottom of it since they are clearing coming under it somewhere. And I thought it was an acre? If it's only half an acre then it's already getting to be cheaper.
The only thing you asked is if we had bow and arrow suggestions. Shooting a bow in a yard that small in an HOA neighborhood is a bad idea for lots of reasons including probably against the bylaws, leaving a blood trail to where it came from at a neighbor's, possibly having an arrow go over your property line and shooting so close. An air rifle makes it much more likely for you to shoot it in the head and kill it right there. Also just as quiet as a bow. I've done it plenty of times…
Don't snap back at people trying to help you. You're on a lot in a HOA neighborhood shooting animals that are obviously getting in your yard easily because they aren't barricaded out. Game Warden would probably love to make a visit.
