JACK SNIPE. 



There is much excitement in snipe shooting. 



Jack snipe live in the open prairie swamp lands, and as there is 

 little cover, the dog has no chance to point them. They do not lie 

 close like the quail or woodcock, and have to be hunted with much 

 judgment and discretion. 



Hunt them down wind and so get the advantage of a close quarter- 

 ing shot, as they rise against the wind; then after a flight of twenty- 

 five yards, they turn and go with the wind.
