I club it in the head causing blunt trauma and presumably killing the animal...I assume it is dead at that point.

Now heres the deal, I could pop it with a round from a gun but the problem is I am getting $50 (US) for the pelt and with a hole in it the price drops, Not to mention the bullet costs me money as well.

So as I cut into my profit margin meaning I have less money to provide for my family what would you do in that case?
