Snipe hunting on the Altamaha

[Mills]

These photos are of Champney Island and Butler Island which are old rice plantations now managed for waterfowl, snipe and a host of other wildlife. The water is now drawn down for snipe season. Not a whole lot of luck today, but still a good time. The Parker is an 1890 GH 12 with the early GH engraving.

Is the checkering completely worn off the but stock or did the gun not have any.

[Mills]

The checkering is worn off and the stock needs some work. A great shooter though

Nice. A few questions: Do you hunt snipe with a dog? What's the difference between a snipe and a woodcock? They look almost identical. How do you tell the difference?
How are they as table fare?

A buddy has moved to Savannah recently. I'm planning to take my duck boat down to his house to resume hunting that area again.

I do not hunt snipe with a dog. They are too skiddish to hold for a point. Snipe like marsh or muddy fields and woodcock like swampy woods. Woodcock are a little bigger

Mills ,Great Pictures and a nice looking Snipe ,don't forget to mention the Snipe seems to me ,to be at least twice as fast in the air as a Woodcock ! Congrats on Good Shooting ! Russ

Snipe aren't covered under the Federal Migratory Bird Act???
