Congrats! In 15 years checking hunters I think I only checked 2 parties that were snipe hunting, and field-checked one snipe (Wyoming). I semi-deliberately hunted them once when I saw them along a small stream, shot one and got my rite bird.

Nice, was this a the Ebey Island release site? I had one blow up about two feet away from me this weekend and didn't make the connection that it was a snipe until out of range.

That snipe will make a nice meal for the family on Thanksgiving. Be sure to stuff it first. :chuckle:

Oh but this Snipe is to be saved for Tiny Tim's Christmas dinner! God bless us, every one!
Thank you Double! I wonder if no one hunts them because they are hard to hit or just because they are tiny and not the best tasting = )
Mark - That's the spot, you are correct. I don't have a hunting dog so I just hunt close to home and work it hard.
