Will take that under advisement, I have a 22 WMR in a Marlin 783 that should work, they'll be grazing on my side of that pond, I've had a heck of a time keeping em out of oats, shoot at em, they fly away, come back at some point, then they go over a knoll, where you can't see me. Ironically, they don't seem to do much damage overall, to the oats, as the oats recover, grow quickly, just the sight of em in a freshly planted field grr.. They can do a number on corn, topping off every plant in a 7 acre field like ours.
I have done what you describe, left one dead and so on, never phased em LOL ! I've even collected all the young, herded em in my grain truck body, a few died, still needed some brooding, let the rest go back into the pond, tried every humane way I could think to harass em off things I've planted. Only other thing I could do is keep the field near the house cut sooner, green orchard grass, they can have all that, next to the water, yet they still have to go after crops.
I have to get the depredation permit from NYS DEC, then we can oil the eggs, harass them and kill if necessary, up to 25 before you need a federal permit. I always wished they did not cause such problems, I've always been fair to all the critters, but these are not native to here and we never had them when I was a kid, so they really are destructive pests when it comes to ag crops, they rapidly wiped out a stand of clover I had some years back.
