Explain your above post. Last time I checked, snipe hunts were not a good thing.

**Kilkrazy**

It's when you hunt snipe. They are small birds and very fast on the wing.

**jp400**

Heh, sure they are.

Snipe hunts that Im familier with are the kind where me and my buddies bring you out into our woods, then ditch you.

Its when you send someone on a wild goose chase on an animal thats not native to this region.

Pointless and stupid.

Mind you, my old Troop hoisted me up a tree via the magic of a Climbing Nappy for my 14th Birthday 'treat'

Bunch of buttholes the lot of them! Happy, happy days though. So happy I'm thinking of becoming a Scout Leader.

Oh man I remember my first snipe hunt. It was a bunch of buddies and this one older guy that was a family friend. We went camping and one night he suggests we go snipe hunting. He had us calling out 'Sniiiipe' in a high pitched voice while roaming around in the dark.

i recall rather fondly the humor of snipe hunting.
we left some city kids who had moved to the area in a rather large field bordering some woods, and then laughed as they tricked back to camp over an hour or so, upset that they were unable to catch the elusive snipe

Pffft!!! You want fun? Build snare-traps out of M-80's and matches to get back at the SOB who fired his shotgun over your heads because he didn't like you cutting through his yard on the way to 7th grade. Now that's a blast!!! (It's not our fault his dogs liked us better than him.)

This reminds me of asking junior chefs for a leg of salmon, or convincing them that the 'druidic' acid in strawberries would kill them if they ate too many! (In reality, i would have killed them for their continued thieving of my stock)
