Ask the Neighbours about shooting them if they agree then have at it. But. Don't use some kidn of rifle. No.

Lure them close with some food theeeeen, COMBAT SHOTGUN TIME 8D

that's kinda sadistic... might as well just shoot it in the head from a distance rather than tempt it with meat and then shoot it without killing it instantly... shotguns are quite inaccurate, you might not get a headshot ._.

however, the pellet gun idea would work if you shot them from a place where they couldnt get you, like from inside with a nearly completely closed window.
