We hunt a lot of Snipe here in north Florida, the real ones! We walk the marshes & they are a blast to shoot, by far the most challenge you can get with a shotgun. I was told the term "Sniper" comes from Europe where the best shooters were the guys who could hit Snipe, & they were called Snipers. not sure how true that is... But there are a lot of Snipe down here in Florida.
