The problem seems to be that the farmer has nuisance birds and doesn't care who shoots how many or when. That problem exists everywhere. Farmers around here may kill all the nuisance animals they want, as long as they leave them lay where they fall. But they don't have the time or care to do it, so they lease to hunters, hoping they'll wipe out all the animals that they are tired of feeding. Problem is the lease holders want more animals not less. I've nearly lost a lease once because the farmer expected more deer and turkeys killed than were being killed. When I told him the hunters had taken all the legal animals they could, he told me "I need poachers then". The only thing I could do to keep the land was to overrun it with hunters which of coarse would ruin the hunting as well, so I just simply started lying to the guy and telling him we were killing more animals than we really were, and he was happy. If it were truely a nuisance animal problem, the game warden here would just tell the farmer to kill all he wants to and leave them for the buzzards, and as long as people do that, it's ok. Some farmers even pay a bounty I hear.
