Any snipe hunters

[Trapper]

We went the other day, kids found a field full of them. We ended up with 20 out of 4 of us. I found out they are a lot harder to hit than a dove the way they dart around.

I used to hunt them in Arkansas. A lot of fun to shoot!

 

[BULL MOOSE]

I need to look for my bag...lol.

Looks like a great hunt! When I lived in S Florida, snipe were the only thing I could hunt like upland birds. Their erratic flight makes for some great wing shooting!

I'm just tickled at your tattoo even though i can't make out the 3rd word

Ok, so is it a woodcock? I thought we'd really accomplished something, considering where we caught it.

Lol, that's not my hand. It's a friend's. The tattoo is actually four words and not PG.

How much wood, would a wood chocolate chip cookie chocolate chip cookie, if a woodcock could chocolate chip cookie wood?!

it is a woodcock, but they're really cool birds and i'm still curious how you caught it. Was it strutting in the road or did it fly into a window and get dissoriented?

You remember that week of bad weather we had back in February? That's when we found him We were walking to our job site on 1at avenue south in Nashville, and their he was on a sidewalk, beside a building. He let us pick it up and handle him. We moved him over to the side of the alley way. That afternoon he was gone. The next morning he was back(or one like him), close to where we originally found him. Eventually we quit seeing him.

That's crazy. The migration exhausts them sometimes.
