A biologist will tell you that irregular shaped plots are better. I don't know why, but they do. Of course, the biologists are not the ones disking an irregular shaped plot after an already long day on a tractor. I think making sure to leave some cover on the edges is probably more important than the shape for us since we are hunting on a place trying to re-establish wild quail. ^^^^ This is how we do it... it is a pain to plow as you state, only a couple places with a regular rectangular/square shape. I do leave a couple widths of grass growing on the edges for small game and birds. Has seemed to help the few quail we have.

I always preferred a small narrow shooting lane planted in the middle of nowhere.

We have a few unique shaped plots at our place. I like the horseshoe plots and the turkey foot plots. A “v” shaped plot seems like it would be nice as well. I like the idea of the turkey foot plots bc it seems like it would keep the fields from being cleared every time a deer gets frisky and takes off running, but in reality, my experience is that they don’t help in that regard. I think the “v” shape may be more beneficial in that regard or just make your turkey foot more spread out. I do like how deer can be feeding close to one another but not be able to see each other. There always seems to be that doe in every area that like to run others off. Same with those young bucks. I’d plan it around wind and entry/exit routes keeping in mind the most likely bedding areas near the plot. http://s782.photobucket.com/user/ju...-A9BA-CE495A0F8094_zpswm6nwlmy.jpeg.html![[Linked Image]](https://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/justin3710/B4AD6BFF-EF4B-42A3-A9BA-CE495A0F8094_zpswm6nwlmy.jpeg)

Have had the best results with very long and narrow plots. My favorite is 460 yards by 30 yards. For some reason we see more mature bucks in that plot than the rest.
