Default My 3 frame GH 12 was in the truck......

in case a duck pond presented itself for a jump shoot. But used my little Raick Freres Belgian 28 to harvest a limit of Wilson's Snipe in some flooded hayfields yesterday......Fun, but my legs are toast today!!

I've never been snipe hunting but always wanted to.

If your legs are toast I guess mine would be too.

We have some snipe hunting here in the Tennessee Valley. You normally have to wade thru the swampy mud to flush them, thus the fatigue from fighting the mud!

Default Snipe

You are lucky used to hunt them near Winnie Tx when I had rice fields . Used a full choke Win Model 97 was a hoot. Call me if you need help thinning the snips!!!

Tank and I discussing how tired we are after chasing down a couple of limit's of Wilson's Snipe on Sunday. 85 degrees, and not a breath of wind.

Snipe are a great bird to hunt.We got them here in Florida and look forward to them every year.
Like that tag on the truck.Must be a story behind that?
