    My favorite way to do it was buy a rabbit from tractor supply, break it's back legs and tie it to a stake in the middle of a field so it screams. Set up 75-100 yards out with a 22 magnum with a red light spotlighting the area so their eyes reflect. Then aim for the gleam.

    In the back yard, even a medium power pellet gun will kill them with a well placed shot, eyes, spine, brain.

    Angry, or calm?

    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    Any chance you know anyone in your area with a suppressed 22? Taking away the sound would go a long way to letting you solve this problem a lot easier.

    Domeguy, thanks. I have a Ruger 10/22. The problem is not the noise. My concern is a through and through that would hit someone else. I know that a .22 if placed exactly would solve the issue but I don't know that I would be good or exactly where to place the shot. The .22 is what I was thinking of using, but I don't want to have it run off and suffer. If I could disable it I would have no problem moving closer and finishing it off.

    Anyone know, how thick the skull on a 'yote is? Would a .22LR penetrate enough to drop it from between 40 - 60 yards?

    CCI definitely... MaxiMag 40 grain, jacketed, clocked out to, I think, 1875FPS. Definitely will do enough damage to close and finish off. If you are worried about a .22 doing through and through collateral damage...Federal Match ammo. all lead and and 1325 FPS.

    DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT go for this greenweenie ALL TIN slug crap. 26 grain slug.. who in the hell they kidding?

    Might as well shoot em with a old Daisy air rifle rated for 325 FPS and have done.

    This is necessary?

    By corollary, then, staking an injured soldier out in no-man's land to draw fire would also be acceptable.

    I'd have to do a bit of digging, but live baiting seems like it'd be illegal in most jurisdictions that consider baiting with feed or salt illegal.

    Live bait is only illegal to protected species. Such as ducks, and deer. You can't put your pet deer or duck out to draw in deer or ducks to shoot. But you can use a rabbit you purchased or raised to draw in coyotes. Nothing illegal about it.

    Nothing wrong with using wounded enemy to draw out more enemy either.

    My objection is to crippling the animal wantonly.

    I have heard rabbits scream. It has been my foul and unkind misfortune to know of people-shaped individuals that enjoy the sound.
