Papa said it was most fun on a high tide with a full moon. I suppose spring tides made the pushing easy as well as spotting the downed birds.

I couldn't resist bringing this Sept rail hunting story back to the top. A good chuckle for sure.

Georgia Snipe
 

Stumbled across this thread and loved every minute of it...here are a few pics from this past season.

Commonly considered a fool’s errand and snipe hunting a great practical joke but I can assure you it’s real and anything but a joke! Miles through coastal marshes and sporty shooting is required to scratch out a few of these dainty migratory beauties.

“I won’t require a lullaby to be put to sleep.”

I love to chase snipe!

Awesome bird that is severely underrated

Sure do miss hunting them, and burning for them.

Don't Look Autoloader! Lol
 

Love Snipe!

Thanks for not banning me!

Whoa. What a squareback, Will. Tell us about it.

Remington Autoloading Shotgun
 

Thanks Bill,

It is a circa 1910 production Remington Autoloading Shotgun Grade No.5 (Expert).

Two barrels 28" SR Cylinder with Twin Ivories and a later Remington Factory added 30" VR Full.

Came out of upper Indiana in a Red Head 2 barrel leather case.

It has good dimensions and just the right amount of wear to be steady in the field.

At a gun show about ten years ago I saw a Browning A-5 with about ther same amount of engraving coverage - beautiful old gun with some honest wear that somebody had cut the barrel to 22" and mounted rifle sights on it to make it a deer gun... what a horrible shame.
