February 27, 20224 yr Watched an old movie last night with Robert Mitchum called 'Home From the Hill'. An excellent flick. Near the beginning of the movie they took a young guy out on a snipe hunt. It was beautifully done. Boy, did that bring back memories. I've been on a few snipe hunts myself. Some of you old timers might remember them. I wonder if they still go out on snipe hunts? I doubt it unless there is a computer game called 'Snipe Hunt'. But what would be the point of that? Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
February 28, 20224 yr Wow...the memories. I've also been on a few snipe hunts over the years. I really enjoyed the challenge(s). Especially when my kids were old enough to go along.....Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

February 28, 20224 yr Author Heh-heh-heh. How many times did you hold the sack Doug? Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
February 28, 20224 yr I just googled what this is. If I'm right and you guys are referring to what I think you are, then it's going on a hunt, flushing out innocent birds callad Snipes and killing them with a gun. If so, I find myself very disturbed that you guys could enjoy killing animals. Especially you Noel, a person that's a bird lover. Sorry if I've got this wrong.
February 28, 20224 yr @martin-w Well, you might try it first, before you knock it... Cheers from someone who hasn't eaten meat since 1998, but would probably go along on a Snipe hunt Mallard

February 28, 20224 yr It also matters what you say when calling the Snipe. I think this sequence works best as it closely resembles the Snipe's mating call: "Here Snipe. Here Snipe. Here Snipe, Snipe Snipe".
