    I suggest using a club, it works better and its quite. Plus it does not damage the pelt
    Right, because bunnies just let you walk up to them and club them. If my pair of Labrador retrievers can't manage to catch a bunny, I have no chance in hell of managing to get close enough to one to club it.

    Id recommend shooting it through a window. Open the window, set up a rest and shoot through the window. A) most of the sound will stay in your house, B) No one will see you outside "shooting a gun". Or option B would be to bring in no invasive species of snake to kill it?

    Get a dog with a nose. My bloodhound/German Shepard loves playing with baby rabbits fresh outta the hole....

    I'll just ask the neighbors.

    "You guys mind if I off a Rabbit with a .22? I promise the round will end up in the rabbit, a tree, or the mud."

    I don't think they're going to care. And if they don't care, those are people who will tell the cop that they acre 100% sure that I wasn't outside shooting.

    I've heard you only need to call [?DNR] state your case and they will give you a permit number to dispatch the varmint. My associate also said they asked him how he planned to do it, his response was to trap it, then shoot it; they said ok and that they would mail him a permit. His yard is now essentially a free fire zone (safety first) for the next year.

    Buy a muzzle brake from TKO airguns. About $44 and very quiet. I have the 7.5 inch on my Benjamin .22 Discovery PCP and it quiets it down from sounding like a .22LR to something like a CCI CB 22.

    I shoot pests in the front yard all the time and no one is the wiser.

    Contact the owner about whether it will fit your muzzle. You can shim the muzzle if it is too small.

    Regards,

    John

    My labs have found baby bunnies several times, but they can't catch a full grown bunny.

    I suppose another answer would be to get a greyhound. I can't fathom a situation where a real backyard cottontail (and not a motorized rabbit at a track) could keep from getting caught by a greyhound.

    You never heard of the hobo goose dinner? The shopping list is a loaf of bread and a bat. The goose is available at any local lake or golf course.

    My dog caught a squirrel once, though it may or may not have been electrocuted by my fence...

    Not sure in Carrol, but in Mont. Co., a BB/Pellet gun is considered a firearm, and is bound by the same laws that apply to powder rifles. You can't even shoot a $25 Daisy Red Rider in much of Mont. County.
