In my youth I shot many Jacksnipe around the marshes in Sumter Co Florida. Mr Snipe is a small fast bird that looks like a little woodcock. Use #8 shot and walk around the edge of marshes. He uses his long bill to probe for bugs and worms in the wet soil. He is very difficult to see on the ground and often will flush right at your feet and you will blow holes in the atmosphere but not him unless you are very fast.
