I just went back and read the ORC myself, looking for the "farm" issue.
Unless I'm missing it, the only thing I found was under:
2923.16 Improperly Handling Firearms In A Motor Vehicle
(A) No person shall knowingly discharge a firearm while in or on a motor vehicle.
(2) Division (A) of this section does not apply to a person if all of the following circumstances apply:
(a) The person discharges a firearm from a motor vehicle at a coyote or groundhog, the discharge is not during the deer gun hunting season as set by the chief of the division of wildlife of the department of natural resources, and the discharge at the coyote or groundhog, but for the operation of this section, is lawful.
(b) The motor vehicle from which the person discharges the firearm is on real property that is located in an
unincorporated area of a township and that either is
zoned for agriculture or is used for agriculture.
(c)
The person owns the real property described in division (F)(2)(b) of this section,
is the spouse or a child of another person who owns that real property, is a tenant of another person who owns that real property,
or is the spouse or a child of a tenant of another person who owns that real property.
So if I'm understanding it right, it can't be just "a farm", a parent has to own it.
But again, this under shooting from a vehicle, I couldn't find anything that states mere possession. I know you must have written permission from the landowner if you hunt, if it's not your own. But you can be unaccompanied at 18 for that.
Maybe combine the two? If the "farm" is not your own, get WRITTEN permission to hunt coyotes, since there is no season. Then you may OC unaccompanied. If questioned, just say you were hunting earlier.
