Gosh, I haven't shot snipe since the late 60's and early 70's. We had a small pond on the property that was covered with snipe.

They are very eratic in flight and you have to be a very good shooter!

Try along the coastline. I have never shot any but I have seen them while shooting ducks.

man, i used to go every year. it's hit or miss. there has to be water. either way plan on a lot of walking, a lot of shooting and not much killing.
