Angel I've said it before and I'll say it again. The snipe is the toughest to hit American game bird. They're also the toughest to hit in England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and Argentina. I can't say that about anywhere else, but I've missed them in all those places.

Couldn't agree more. Everyone should try hunting them without one of those new fangled double barrel guns as well. Snipe (and the woodcock) are perfect game birds for the muzzleloading hunter as well. They sit tight, and usually only give you one good shot anyway.

I am a huge black powder fan and that is just perfect. Way to go.

I haven't tried BP shotgunning yet, muzzleloader or cartridge, but am fond of muzzleloading rifles and BPCRs, also handguns.
