Ain't you folks ever bin in on a Southern "snipe hunt"? Easy as pie. You just git some outsider/furriner/yankee to take a tow sack down in a gulley somewhere in tha frikkin' middle of nowhere(or in one especially cruel incident I know of, in a cold mountain stream in the middle of Winter), shine a flashlight in the back of the sack(to attract said snipe, of course), and WAIT. And wait.....and wait......and wait. Some especially persistant snipe hunters have been known to wait almost all night!.....L.

I would be curious to know what load he uses for them? Here in WA we have to use non toxic shot for snipe and it makes things even trickier, as large steel pellets and tiny birds don't mix well nor does tiny steel pellets and longer snipe ranges. I do like kent tungsten matrix with my 16gauge fox, but it gets expensive fast shooting at snipe- which tend to fly like tiny barn stormers.uplandishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492606017361856076noreply@blogger.com
