IME Snipes seam to favor the berry bushes around here. But usually where there is berry bushes there is a creek or pond around.
I have found them in the fields edge, around crabapple groves, next to a steep slope too, even though that does not make much sense. I guess good protection. Cause to many things do not make a habit of entering crabapple groves. Including me.
You usually have a follow up shot if you miss and are fast at recovery because of the way they fly,. But for me that just means I waisted two shots, cause I am a bad judge of distance.

Yep, taste like pike and paddlefish.

My favorite story about heat is how I've never once had to shovel it or pour salt on it so I could drive to work.

I thought someone might wonder about that. They taste like worms. How do I know? If you ever hit opening day of Trout season in the Adirondacks as a kid, there's a better than even chance that at one time or another you held a worm in your mouth, or at least lips, to bring them back to life a bit while you took off your snowshoes in preparation for drowning the worm and not catching anything. That's how I know. I never claimed it was smart or yummy, but it wasn't unusual either since I learned the trick from others.What do worms taste like?

I see you have led a snipe hunt or two as well!!!!
You folks have to shoot Woodcock where they have better tasting worms.
I think my 15-year-old great granddaughter is becoming a survivalist.
She took my 17-caliber pellet gun and went bird hunting.
She ate the breast of a blue jay and a robin cooked over an open fire on a stick.
I asked her how they tasted.
She said good if you use a little teriyaki sauce.

Don't see many Robins on my property............until yesterday. Whole flock spent most of the afternoon in the birdbath and food plot. Food plot is the only thing green, this time of year.
Robins are very common in these parts, just not on my wooded acreage. They come though, maybe twice a year. I stopped counting at two dozen. When we went out on the back porch, you could hear them vocalizing.

I read once that every north American bird species is edible . That's knowledge like knowing tomatoes are fruit .
Like many things edible you will find some of them not particularly palatable . That's wisdom like knowing tomatoes don't go in fruit salad and probably wouldn't make really tasty jelly .

Dove hunting in a sunflower field with my brother, we both took a shot at the same bird. At the same time, a rather large crow had decided to swoop in, maybe doing the same thing. It was a very tempting bird. We ended up cleaning and eating that crow, saving the doves taken that day for stew.
Crow is edible, sure, but not entirely pleasant.
Tomatoes make an alright jam, though. Brother-in-law has brought a few jars over, they make a batch just about every year.

Been out in the ND snow this morning. Wind is down to 20-25mph, windchill -38F, drifts next to the house about three feet high. Broke the end off my snowblower's drive cable, finished what I was doing by being stubborn and just pulling the cable with one hand, steering with one hip, holding the previously jury-rigged auger drive handle with the left. Going to mull over options to repair both of those while I tank down some coffee.
