My very 1st common snipe!
2 days ago a friend of mine bring me to a new opportunity.
I try to hunt for the very 1st time some snipe. And I get the beginner chance...I kill one common snipe!
I can tell you it's a very hard shot...
It will stay in my memory...
Did an other HB member hunted this bird?

Nice! They look small and fast. Well, maybe not anymore for the one you’re holding.

Re: My very 1st common snipe!
I hunt in northern Wisconsin and that snipe looks like what we call a woodcock. Do you or anyone else know if they’re the same bird?

For sure it's an other smallest species.
Woodcock have several species (US are the smallest, but snipe are definitely much more small) and they are in my knowledge 2 kind of snipe, the common and the deaf snipe (it's the name translate from the French name, not sure in English).
Hope it bring light.

We have a similar type of snipe in SE WI too. I heard this sound at night several times in early spring and it took me weeks to 1) verify I wasn’t hearing things and 2) see what it could be.

Re: My very 1st common snipe!
In some parts of the US. Going "snipe" hunting was kind of a bad experience. Kind of a rite of passage. A young outdoors person was taken "snipe" hunting at night. Armed with only a gunnysack. Told by the oldster's that they would drive the "snipe" towards them. Then left in the dark for a long, long time. Some kids never got over it!!!
Happiness is a large gutpile!!!!!!!

cut my teeth shooting at snipe when I was growing up, lots of missing at times . If your walking them up they are wonderful sporting birds zig zagging away

Re: My very 1st common snipe!
The guys down here like to hunt them - we have a bunch in wet muddy areas, they winter down here I think.
They twitter and fly out a bit then go straight up. Small enough that I con't tell how high they are.
Fun hunt. Glad you got one!
The woodcock question - woodcock are fatter and have shorter legs. Easier to hit to cause they usually jump up underfoot and not out front like a snipe.

When I was a kid, going on a snipe hunt sounded more like a threat than an invitation!

Re: My very 1st common snipe!
If you don't want to go snipe hunting you could always go Cow Tipping in the south.
Wilson Snipe is native to N. America, there are several other species that have been introduced much like Ring-Neck Pheasants
