not many people even believe theyre a real bird lol I didn't hunt them as much this year because I didn't want to disturb the ducks and few geese. But, did give'em hell after duck season closed. very fun bird to hunt. whether it be pointing with dogs, walking up, or sitting there at daylight waiting on them to come in.

Dad had a cattle lease next to our place when I was a kid... big tank, always a couple snipe fly off when we'd roll up... maybe a few coots..no real dux back then... we never tried to hunt them... have contacts in S/E Tx now.. maybe woodies and snipe... that'd be cool... seen a post somewhere a guy sed snipe fly like "drunk bats on meth" yeah, they do that!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one of the opinion their hard to hit.
Jumping and shooting singles is gonna be tough regardless how good you can shoot. One local spot gets covered up with birds, I'd see small groups of 3-12 birds flying around and (fortunately) flying right by my hide. I've dropped 4 or 5 birds that way, but it's the exception, not the rule.
Season before last I shot a single flying about 20 feet from where I was sitting. It dropped like a rock. I went over to pick it up noticing that the front of its head had been shot off and the long snout missing entirely. I was a couple feet from that bird getting ready to pick it up when it jumped up and flew off. Tough birds, for sure.
