Or invest in a powerful (subsonic) pellet gun. 1000 fps will get the job done.
Good luck, sorry about the livestock loss.
I shot a rabid racoon in the head with a 1000 fps Diana pump pellet gun at 30 yards. Took off half the skull and the brain was exposed. Thought it was dead (blood everywhere) but when I went to pick it up it sat up and hissed at me !!
