Snipe Hunts

Anyone who's read more than a few posts of mine knows I'm a camping kind of guy.
As such, it's been my "privilage" to introduce many rookies to snipe huntin'.
"What are snipes?" they would ask. I'd explain that they are little flightless birds. "They don't sell them in California but if we catch a bunch of 'em we take a road trip to Arizona and sell them to pet stores" I'd reply.
Experienced campers know the way to catch snipes. 1 person holds a gunny sack open and other rustle bush's where the snipes hide. Thinking that the held-open bag is like a cave they run in.
The new guy was the bag man. We'd hike DEEP in the woods (where you can catch the most snipes), give the newbie the bag and tell him to wait right there with the bag held open while the rest of us went into the bushes to scare snipes.

It's like a rite of passage, camping-wise. Almost like an inititiation.
 
We don't snipe hunt round here. We go for the gulls man.
 
Snipes? I'm still trying to catch my first jackalope....
 
snipe hunting is priceless, usually when It comes around to convicing someone about the "snipe" I am drunk and the description of the bird changes everytime I acually had these fools conviced one time there is such thing as a poisioness bird lol
