Snipe and rails are both where you find them. I've killed both down in Southern Illinois where I'm from but it took a lot of looking and very little shooting most of the time. To most folks they're mystery birds, I'm literally the only person I know who's ever hunted them down that way. My guess is Maine is about the same, it's just not one of the areas that there seems to be a hunting culture for them. Both birds must pass through that area in good numbers, it would just be a matter of figuring out when and where. After the first frost both will be long gone so if you're going to find any this season you'd better really start looking.
