I think you have not met a good .22 rifle, and used it on a very sick animal before. Even ELEY target ammo will lay a deer out cold...we're not talking about hunting or chest shots here KW.

Poach much??

So, no to the 22. In my area, you'd would have to explain the shot. And that would get you a trip.
Suppressed is best
Poach much??
Side of the road hit by a car much? That's not poaching, that's doing the right thing by that paralyzed deer and not calling an ICO in the middle of the damn night to come do something that anybody that stands on 2 hind legs should have the morality and wherewithal to do themselves. That, uh, specifically includes the driver that kept on going. I'd have donated that one to the food pantry through a local processor, but he was too banged up to bother with doing anything except dragging him into the ditch, which I did. Less than 24 hours later, some poor hunter-in-need-of-a-set had cut off his little 6-point rack for a trophy.
You won't find anybody that follows more game laws than I do, because I follow every law that is applicable to the game I hunt, and regularly read the actual State code to stay abreast of changes made.
Only one I ever shot with a rifle was one with a .243 that had taken a slug through the femur, uh..."some time" before we met. Worst, most gangrenous thing I've ever seen. Anybody that has met me would tell you that if I can run as fast as the deer...he was pretty dern sick. We "donated" that one to the coyotes that I was hunting at the time anyway, but still got a possession permit so that it would be logged into the State's harvest numbers.
Nice try though. I appreciate your assumptions about me, a person you've never met.

A couple of years ago, we had a racoon with distemper in the neighbors yard. DNR came out and the guy used an asp to put it down. A quick hit to the base of the skull did the trick..22 is the most humane suggestion given so far. A hammer? Really?
Yep. That's what they use on the pig farm around here.
Correct, and in center township people ignore a single shot that sounds like it's "somewhere else" anyway. If you're concerned about worrying neighbors, shooting inside a garage or shed will muffle the shot--especially if the neighbors are inside. Sorry about your cat, and no argument from me about taking her to the vet either.Oh and as for the city limits thing. If you are talking about the City Of Indianapolis it is only illegal to discharge a firearm inside the "Special Police District" and that is Center Township. In the rest of the city there is no ordinance against it.
Oh get over yourself. I never made any assumptions of any kind.
Poach much??
Impact and edged tools are not inhumane to the animal as long as the person using the tools acts with conviction and does the job on the first try. The fact that the visuals can be more disturbing to observers is about the people being squeamish, not about the animal actually suffering anymore than it must.
My grandfather used this for his 19 year old dog. Works without pain.cardboard box, duct tape, length of flexible dryer hose. Last but not least, 1 gas powered vehicle.
