I've never had to pick shot out of my mouth while eating anything, but I imagine it's as bad as having sand in your mussels.
Plus, I can't go shooting a shotgun anywhere around here. Well, maybe down by Mason Neck.

A .177 pellet rifle makes damn short work of them. A .22 pellet rifle makes for movie quality kills.
Of course mine both shoot 1200+ feet per second. 1600 for the .177. Both are significantly faster than a .22 rifle.
Just mind your background, pellets lose velocity fairly quickly, but, ricochets
can happen, and they
can skip off the ground and keep traveling a bit.
