They sell some very nice .22 caliber spring-air pellet guns

these days.

I have one but they are still loud so I just as well use the S&W 357,
but you still have to be able to see him to get a bead on him. So far the
only clue I have is smell and his tracks near the lake.
I'm pretty sure he has left as I haven't noticed the odor in two days now..
I think the ammonia was more than he could stand. RM~

Ammonia works well. For future reference, it's easier to hunt
nocturnal nuisances if you install motion detecting lights, and it's a
good home security addition to boot.

While I'm sure you can find a .22 pellet gun quieter than a standard .
22 firearm (and certainly quieter than a 357), I don't pretend to know
which one is the quietest. Subsonic ones probably have an advantage
for noise.
