Snipes?

[ZombieApocolypse]

I remember once when i was little in Washington we went hunting for snipes. Didnt catch anything, but i was wondering if you have snipes in Indiana?

snipe hunting is a blast , always great to introduce newbys to the sport

Love snipe hunting, but haven't been in quite a while. Best to hunt in a wooded area, but I don't have easy access to that. They can be hunted anyplace, though.

I've only caught 2, and they were both in the middle of a blackberry bush. I think they like to pick at the berries inside.

I remember years ago when we used to quail hunt that one of the questions you had to answer when getting the quail stamp was "Do you plan on hunting snipe." Always thought that was a joke!

Been a couple of times. When I finally take my nephew camping, I will introduce him to it as well.

I haven't been snipe hunting since I was in Boy Scouts. I wonder if they are still as plentiful now as they were then...

I remember going as a kid. It was a blast. I was usually a beater, as opposed to the one "holding the bag". I would recommend it.

Big passel of them in the woods behind my Grandma and Grandpa's old farm house between Huntingburg and Holland.

Years of my younger cousins hunting them has culled the herd though.

They are almost as common as the snapalope

I have a line of custom whittled snipe calls that I sell. These are works of art and are a labor of love. As is well known and documented, the snipe call can only be heard by snipe. These have been field tested and hand tuned for the midwestern snipe that is indiginous to this area. I offer these for sale only on a order ahead basis but have availability here in the next few months. I normally get $600.00-$700.00 for these custom beauties but will offer them to INGO members for $550.00 If there is enough interest, I can do a group buy as well.

We have the largest snipes in the country here in IN...

How many do we need for a group buy?

Took my sister and some of her (very cute) college friends snipe hunting YEARS ago. Gave them flashlights and bags, then walked them back into the woods (what is Avon's park, now). I turned off my light, and wandered back to the truck, making some whistling sounds as I went. They showed up 30 minutes or so later, and were SWEARING they saw/heard snipes! Good times....
