That it should.
CCI 22LR Subsonic Segmented Hollow points would be a good choice for close range head shots, the advantage of them is they less prone to ricochet compared to a normal 22lr bullet.
If you could hit a damn with your first shot. In my experience you would be lucky to hit a fox anywhere at 40m with your first shot using those.
Yes, certainly a challenge. Everything has to be just right. Baiting might be an option. Personally I'd prefer a 12g using #2s. Bit noisy tho. But then, if the neighbours are made aware, perhaps you could.
