I am looking for a couple of hunters to fill in for a Snipe Hunt. These are not pen raised Snipes either, they are the real thing. I am planning this for when the leaves are off the trees so they are easier to push... probably late September. I would like to stick with experienced hunters but I would take new guys if they can shoot and stand their ground.
Let me know if you are interested.
Please be serious fellas...

LMAO...I don't quite know how to take this:D

If you are referring to a "woodcock" hunt, Sure...I'd make the drive. Just keep me posted. If your hunting snipe...hell, I'll make the drive anyway just to watch;)

I never really understood the joke.... the joke alway portrays snipe as a fictional game animal but yet they exist and we have a limit of 10 here on PEI, I have never killed one (only hunted them once) but I have seen many.


From the PEI Government website:
How do I apply for a Migratory Bird Hunting Permit?
A permit is required to hunt migratory birds. Only the following migratory game birds may be killed: ducks, geese, wooduck, and Wilson or common snipe. Both a provincial hunting licence and a Migratory Bird Hunting Permit are required.

Don't forget the 204 vs Moose thread ;)
 
BigRedd's goin' to get to 8,000 posts somehow, this is just one more ! They'll get worse for a while, then back to square one.

Did most of my Snipe hunting in Cuba, in flooded rice fields.
Yup, it's a hoot, and they ARE good to eat !

My experience is the same i.e. rice fields.......although the much larger species are those that you would normally find/hunt on remote shorelines or sandbanks.

I am curious though as to how this is done in Canada :)
 
Sorry guys... But I wuz bored and everyone seems so dam serious...:(

I even had some P.M.s on the Snipe hunt where guys weren't threatening to kill me.:D

There are some Common Snipe in various areas around the country.... but Traditionally this is looked upon much like "Spoon Fighting" in the Hunting Camps I have frequented!:cool: :)
 
What! You mean there's no hunt! I already convinced the wife to let me go.... Now what am I going to do with all that beer?
