Bow and arrow is very quiet.

And I think you can get a crossbow without too much trouble, which is
easier to operate.

The thing about arrows is that if you get a non-lethal hit, the
neighbors/press will get nosy about who is shooting "wildlife" with
arrows. An arrow sticking out of an animal is pretty visible.
