Thats one mans opinion, just happens to be pretty much the same as mine. Shooting on the farm is about the same as spotlighting to me, no reward other than something to put in the freezer and maybe a little more grass for the stock , Id rather shoot steel. Putting in some effort and finding game on public land is far more enjoyable and satisfying and often comes with the company of good mates.
