What's the smallest field you've had any luck on?

we made 1 500-600 feet long and maybe that wide, not a lot of birds and the corn didn't come up big enough to make anything, crows pulled the little stalks up and eat the kernel, had a few birds but not enough shooters to keep them flying, got tired of walking around to flush them. That was Cumberland county,

I've done a 120'x20' patch in the middle of a cow pasture with a powerline over it by a water hole. Smoked the birds in that spot. Didn't have a tractor so took a garden tiller out and top sowed wheat on the bare ground.
I've done an acre and killed a lot. But it also had a powerline and pond.

Last year was our best year and was on a new plot. It's about 1.5 acres and an extension off our powerline. We killed close to 60 last year. That's a win for us

I caught some guys hunting 1/4-1/2 acre once. Doves coming in like bees to a hive. But it had 3-4 bushels of wheat on it.
Caught some more that had probably a 75 foot diameter circle disked. They were trying to grow cracked corn.
The best one was the boy that sowed scratch feed on his mom's 50' paved driveway.

A gravel driveway covered in scratch feed can be dynamite. Especially in ag areas.

Dynamite court case for some lucky officer too
Years ago I lived at Silver Point out on a poor dry ridge top. My garden spot was 1/4 acre with a power line across in the middle. Garden was always done by end of august. I plowed it under disked it up and top sowed my cover crop. Always killed a couple limits there before those pesky birds ate my cover crop up.
