Shotgun...works every time
If you do this you will have to make sure you have a varmit liscence in SD anyway.. might be different in each state. but you would need to check before you kill any wild animal. The GFP loves to fine people for even protecting their own crops, and the corpse would need to be disposed of according to the rules of the state.
