when there is so much water everywhere and the birds are spread out, but if you walk long enough it can be done. Rosie did me well yesterday. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/02/full-1680-412534-dscn3860.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/02/full-1680-412535-dscn3846.jpg)

Congrats. I'm still scared to shoot a snipe. I"ve looked at a hundred pictures and I'm still worried I'll shoot the wrong bird. I've listened to sound. I can just see me proudly coming home with a brace of plovers.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

Nice limit, the most I've ever gotten was three. They are definitely my favorite quarry for wingshooting. What's your preferred choke/load?

Nice limit, the most I've ever gotten was three. They are definitely my favorite quarry for wingshooting. What's your preferred choke/load? Well, it is why they call me Sniper John. I'm sitting in my truck taking a break from Snipe hunting right now. Tough day getting more exercise than birds, but the weather is nice. The dog and I are enjoying the day. Normally I would be using #7 or #6 steel no less than 1300 fps loads if possible. The #6 for far flushing birds or windy days. IC or M choke or both in the double barrel. This season I have been using g some 7 1/2 upland steel and 6 1/2 steel Cyl and LM chokes. Working well for me for a high shot to kill ratio, but I have to pass on long shots. Break over. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/02/full-1680-413039-1000002597.jpg)
