you sound like a prime candidate for some snipe hunting.  It's not in the wildlife management plan so there are no bag limits yet.  Shoot machias a pm and maybe he will hook you up.

They have really wild flight patterns and fly low within the trees.  Seems that open chokes worked best for them.

What do you have to swap a hunt for them?  It's alot of fun snipe hunting!!
Title: Re: Quality Snipe Hunt for .....
Post by: MADMAX on June 03, 2011, 10:16:41 AM
I thought you needed to hunt them at night with flashlights and gunny sacks and lots of alcohol, not guns.

Best tasting bird there is.  Better than huns, pheasants, chukar...anything.  The word "sniper" comes from old British hunters that were skilled enough to kill them regularly.  If you get a chance to go, jump on it... :tup:

I guided a snipe hunt once.  Took a young lady snipe hunting when I was in high school.  Snipe hunting is tough though, she didn't have any luck. 

I did.

I learned snipe hunting from my Uncle back in the Missouri Ozarks, it's a midwestern tradition, most folks up here don't know about all the great snipe hunting the NW has to offer.  Some of the best in the world actually.

Good snipe hunting in the Blues. Jim knows that and so does Pathfinder.
I know this may come out in this discussion, and they will likely try and cover it up. Don't let them fool you.

Oh shoot no I won't hide that. They are too quick for the sasquatch to catch, I'd be glad to take a newbie out. I bet I could get pathfinder to come along to.

My wife says I can't.

Heck yeah, like I said I can take you out. I'll talk to Pathfinders wife and tell her I am chaperoning. I'm sure that would work. If you are headed to Spokane drop Machias a line, I bet he would take you out.

Our duck/goose lease in Sequim has a lot of them, we just whack them when they fly by our ponds. One guy even uses his 10GA with #2s on them, I prefer a 20GA. :twocents:

All my boys LOVE snipe hunting.  For the best results, you need to whistle loudly as well...not sure if they've made a specific call for them yet??

I may have a picture of their adventure...not sure.

Was on a couple great snipe hunts when I was young... dad was always willing to point me in the right direction from bear camp, somewheres about 10-midnight, after he and the guys had downed a few cold ones...
Title: Re: Quality Snipe Hunt for .....
Post by: Woodchuck on June 03, 2011, 11:08:02 AM
Snipe hunting is always better after a few cold ones, and nobody ever seems to get hurt.




I hate google. I was working up this whole great plan

Im thinking BIGINNER did not grow up in a small town :dunno:
The Yakima river bottom  between toppenish and zillah up to bueana and down to grainger is loaded with snipes the best thing is the tribe doesnt require a permit for them if you dicide to hunt on the rez

Good luck and remember to where your safty glasses

I remember my first snipe hunt, I was the hunter and I was determined, they are pretty darn smart though, stayed out till about midnight and never got a one.

On later hunts I took others hunting and it was a more successful hunt on those trips.  :tup:

Beginner, you really need to go, you have no idea what you are missing out on, it is a great experience, and once you learn how to do it, you can take others. :twocents:

The key to snipe hunting is the vocalization.  It's kind of a cross between a whiperwhil and a Kildeer.  Sounds like LOOKUPHEEER!

Wish I could go. With all the grouse, deer and elk hunting going on now, I just don't have time to fit another hunt in. I would have been willing to part with a few of the Sasquatch steaks I have stinking up the freezer for a good snipe hunt!

Snipe have been wiped out in our area by Wolves. Also found Sasquatch hair in some Wolf scat.
