You’re limiting the wind directions you’re can hunt along with sun blare. In a perfect world, use a three toe pattern with the middle toe facing around 315 to 330 degrees then put the other two fingers in after the shooting house is put up. Go to the end of proposed fingers and mow towards the house so you have a good line of sight. Don’t cut up to the house, leave a hundred foot buffer if possible so nothing spooks when you’re coming or going.
This is solid advice. I like the shape and will be making a similarly shaped plot as soon as I can get some timber work done on my place. I have thought about strategically placing some single long lanes like CNC is saying, which may be a better option to hunt multiple winds. However, I like John's approach too, because you can set it up to see them crossing the entire old field. Like you said, with it being an old field, you can experiment, see what works best, and then manipulate it how you want. Sounds like a fun project!
