Any place there is water and ducks
Marshy areas, river edges. Has to have moist soil.
Never been, but I've heard La. is a GREAT spot for hunting snipe.
Good luck and Good hunting !
(+1's to Mr. Cooper, and matouse3).
In the deep stuff. Swamps and wetlands.
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.
They are primarily in river deltas. I have shot them in a river delta on the Gulf Coast. I read an account where a man shot 286 in the Mississippi river delta in one day with a blackpowder gun 150 years ago. His comment was that he could have gotten more, but good loaders were just not available.. In truth, they taste like old mackeral and they are so small that you would have to get twenty to get a meal. By the time you finish getting them ready to cook, you would starve to death. And they stink when they're cooking. You would lose your appetite.
