that is sad when you have to go through all that on your own land. its your land you can shoot what you want to.i know what you mean when you say you have limited days in the field my grandpa was the one who got me into hunting and always let me tag along on all the deer hunts and bird hunts with everybody. he is 86 and had a stroke 2 years ago and it sickens me that he cant go out with me any more the sad thing is when he was 83 he could walk as many fields as i could while bird hunting with me we did get out and dove hunted once this year hopefully i can take him on a hog hunt in texas the first of the year. and he can get something. by the way have you had any luck this year? would like to see pics if you have got one this year.
