Freezing rain snipe

Postby Wildfowler » Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:50 pm

I'm tempted to go grab my shotgun and go stand out in the freezing rain right now and try and walk up some snipe. Never seen this many in one spot before. Must be about 500.

If you don't hear back from me please send a search party because I've probably frozen to death.

Oh yeah. I collected these with exactly one box of shells, which I think is pretty darn good!


In that same dry Mallard field, I could see hundreds of snipe just standing around.

That is some mighty fine shootin' there! Snipe are fun to shoot and not bad to eat IMO...

I got on some a few years back. Flushed them from a spot of open water in a frozen rice field. Stood in one spot and shot the limit as they kept flying back to that open water.

When its raining and windy, how hard is it to keep control of the garbage bag?
