Russ,
I just jump shoot them, as I'm dogless. Where I generally hunt them has enough cover that they might hold for dog. I know of one "dog runner/quail guide" from here that tout's his pack of mongrel's ability to work snipe. He's been know to lie about most everything, so I can't vouch for it! |

They look the right size to be big fun with a 28ga. Are they good eating??

Rich-they're big fun with a 12, the term "sniper" has good roots. Yes they are good to eat, simlar to doves. I don't fix them the traditional way, which is with entrails, head, and beak still attached through cooking. Breasted like dove they are fine though.

We did indeed eat almost all of that 'stuff' and it was excellent. The intestines were stuffed with chopped "mystery organ meat", maybe the kidneys + spices to make a giant sausage and the whole pile boiled. It really was good. Puji and I split the last piece of heart served up on the end of his big hunting knife, which was an honor for me as he was older than I by a bit. There was indeed a very lovely lady geologist named Baska working for me there who dug right in with us, but those are not her hands. A local cur dog that wandered into camp got what little we didn't eat, which wasn't much.... We all looked forward to these feasts. Here's a picture of Puji serving up a tasty morsel to someone...

Good work on the snipe, I've always said they were the toughest to hit american game bird. I haven't killed one in a long time, I need to get out for them again.

. Nothing better than a cool morning, 100's of snipe, and a warm Parker from 1902.
