Sub sonic suppressed 22 will do the job easier.

Air rifle and build a better fence. And stop "relocating" them. Just kill them.

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.

They pay two-fifty down in Hallettsville
3 dollars, maybe more

Start relocating to the HOA presidents house. See if the bylaws change....

22 caliber air rifle and shoot them in the head. If you won't shoot then kill with a sharp shovel. One good chop to the head will do the job.

I'd prefer to die this way as opposed to being in a hav-a-hart trap and drowning in a trash can full of water.

Our job is to be humane when offing an animal.

I can shoot in my area but I still open back door… shoot with shotgun. Close door and set gun down….. walk to front door and walk out on front porch and look around for the loud bang. lol

Around here it's illegal to relocate them. So the choices are drive them out or kill them on the spot. As you said urban firearm usage is frowned upon.

I've had success by soaking tennis balls in pepper spray (OC) and sending them down the burrow. Fill the burrow with pea gravel the following day. Makes a good excuse to freshen the OC canisters in the cars. Done it twice and they move on - sometimes still on your lot but they do move.
