Did those snipes take you for a swim?

Snipe are very mysterious. My first night at Boy Scout camp not one of us 1st timers had any luck. That was even after the nice older guys supplied us with burlap bags and showed us the prime snipe runs. Of course the next year I brought bags for the 1st timers and helped pass the sport on.

My first year at Camp Lawrence, back in the 50's, I had the honor of going out on a snipe hunt. We did have to let the counselors take the snipe away and release it. The next year, I got to help the newbie's on a snipe hunt.

One thing that amazed me was how much a snipe in a burlap bag looks like a brown feathered chicken.

Back to Mr. Bahre's house and his well-cared for snipe.
