HEY MAN! you're gullible. it's all just a joke. snipe are real birds. but they've become rare to see. some people must of thought of making some jokes about it. you find somebody unexperienced with hunting, and you tell him all of this bull crap about hunting snipe. you tell him all of these funny tips and tricks to shooting snipe. man, somebody must of gotten you good. don't believe it. whoever told you to take a pillow case must of been an idiot..i take wal-mart sacks ;)

Jackalopes are more fun to hunt unless you encounter a ragging bull which will tear your boots and socks to shreads unless you are a sprinter or quick with a shotgun.

Them Snipes is soo dangerous, them tiny beaks each pecking off a tiny but excruciating piece of flesh from you tenders. You get hit by a snipe migration and you are left holding the bags there might not be anything left but your empty boxers (unless you go snipe hunting "commando"). The only safe way is to have somebody else left holding the bag while you hide in a tree far away with a high powered rifle and a night vision scope. Pick the snipes off before they peck the bagger into bloody gobbits of flesh. Then you are a real Sniper fer sure!

Brilliant post. I'm amused at all the serious, but well meaning replies. I'm going to go check my traps for sasquatch now. They have a 16 month gestation period and so are currently rutting.

you man up

snipe hunting is a prank

Oh,snipes are real birds alright,but I think a 22. seems more practical, but a pillowcase seems really ecomomical,way to go!(the crackling sounds are bull,cover yourself in peanut butter instead,and so it doesn't get ruined,leave the realtree at home).

Im sorry to tell you this but you've been pranked.(Dont feel to bad.I fell for it too) There is a real bird and can be hunted but Im guessing,because of the pillow case, that this is just a practical joke.
By the way, like BigO said....WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!!
