Why not set up a ground blind or even a stand closer to the area they come out into the field. The farther you shoot leaves more room for error. The farther an arrow/bolt flys the more kinetic energy you loose. Making it less effective of a harvesting tool. I'm not reffering to crossbows, just all archery gear in general when attempting far shots.
