I would get some quality high velocity rounds, and bait them with meat. If you are patient enough, you will shoot them. Don't be surprised if the 22 does not kill them on the spot, but if you hit them, they will die. If you can afford 200 bucks, an H&R Handi rifle will work best. Its a single shot rifle. They are sturdy guns, and cost little. I would get it in .243, .223. or 22 mag. I prefer that order. I use a .243 with a 55 grain bullet, and it kills coy dogs in their tracks. If cost of ammo or the scope is an issue, a 22 mag with open sights will have enough energy to punch through the pest no prob. I like the .243, because they can be shot 300 meters away with little adjustment for bullet drop.</blockquote>
