Are there snipe in Tennessee?

[Ted S.]

A few people I know were telling me about taking about "snipe hunting," and wanted to take me since I've never heard of it; but the way they described it to be sounded as if they intend to take me way out in the woods and ditch me in the middle of the night. Like a prank. Hmmmm, I know what a snipe is, but are there even any in Tennesse?

Snipe are the best eatin' you will find...

[Garufa]

Snipe hunting is indeed a rewarding pastime.  You'll have great fun, especially if you catch one.

[MacGyver]

There are snipe aplenty anywhere you find gullible children and burlap sacks...

[gregintenn]

Sure....part of the year.

Taste like chicken

Hard to catch without a paper bag . . . and salt for their tails . . . course that's Colorado Snipe . . .

Some of my fondest childhood memories are snipe hunting in MS...late at night until the wee hours.

 

I didn't realize there were any in TN. I have a few friends I need to take snipe hunting.

 

Burlap bags just aren't as easy to find anymore...

i prefer a good snipe stew with biscuits and ice tea

Yes snipe are around.. I have seen them around the edge of the river while duck hunting. Now you dont want to go at night nor need a sack.. But if you do go one night and take a sack let me know how it went. I can hook you up on a guided cow tipping adventure...

Not to worry, salt is also necessary to catch Tennessee snipe. ;)

Went on a few  snipe hunts while young, and later was able to introduce other innocents to this wonderful pastime; I must admit the little buggers are difficult to track and catch though...

You can substitute a pillow case in a pinch. Just make sure you use a scent blocker and don't tell your wife.

Goat roping is much more fun......and can get exciting as heck too when you get two on at one time   :up:  :up:

I'll take you one night. It's great fun.

Been a while since I have taken anyone snipe hunting. Good times. They can be pesky little buggers, it helps to make noise with the bag and call them. "Ear Snipe, Snipe, Snipe!" has always worked for me.

Ha ! Yup , hold the sack and make sure you only have WHITE SOCKS ON , Snipe will stray from any color but white and when running in a ditch will see your socks or shoes first. If the sack was from Kroger or similar be sure since it was more than likely plastic that it NEVER had any fruit or vegetables in it ; it's a dead giveaway you don't know what your doing to the snipe siblings ( which are always behind the mother or leader ). White is also a great wick for toe stank , the first thing Snipe find low to the ground running ditches. When your guide tells you to shake the sack he ain't kidding , it's that or loose some toes. They have BIG TEETH , I am missing a toe to attest to it , I was missing the White socks !

[TripleDigitRide]

One thing I like about snipe hunting is the fact that no fancy "calls" are needed. Banging two palm-sized rocks together is, by far, the best method I've found.

That's the Avery version.

Cow tipping makes for a great night of fun also.. If you enjoy Snipe hunting, you will love cow tipping.. 

[TMF]

When you go snipe hunting make sure to take a box of grid squares with you so you don't get lost.

Never use WHITE SOCKS FOR THAT SHEOT !
