Snipe 2015
 

Well finally got to do some hunting myself today.Two weeks into the snipe season and had the morning to myself.Started off slow as I could not hit a barn door.Finally connected and knocked one down after several shots

Then another shooting a trojan 20ga I picked up over the summer.Sweet little gun with plenty of wear but handles beautifully.

Went another 100yds and hit the mother load.Birds all around flushing in all directions.Third time I connected was actually a one shot double.So now with my confidence built back up I finished my limit.
Birds were holding great and plenty of them.Made a few calls when I finished and got the word out.Tomorrow got a client coming out to enjoy the birds.

I never ate a snipe - what do they taste like?






.

Taste a little like liver which I like so suits me fine.Best thing other than their sporting flush is that alot of my clients love to shoot them but don't like eating.So I get plenty for myself even if I'm not hunting.

I have some great memories of snipe hunting. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good places to hunt them around here

That would make a great Parker Pages article

It would be a great story I am not skilled at putting pen to paper.If I can get someone to take on the task there are plenty here now for a story.It would be thrilling with the smaller sub gauge.
I'll report tomorrow after the hunt.Should be another awesome day.

Mills,
When your ready, Bob has just the place for you to hunt Snipe and many othe types of game. He donated a hunt to our silent auction in 2014 at his place http://www.littlelakelodge.net/ in Florida. I hope to get down there one day as well.

Great hunt ! Do you just walk them up or do you use a flushing dog ? Danny
