Snipe Hunting...Joke?

I've never heard it as a joke


We used to bust them up in the muddy cane fields

line everyone up with a paper bag and a stick and go on a "snipe hunt"

This.

Wasn't a boy scout thing for us. It was just our old Marine uncle fricking with us. He took us out in the middle of the woods with a bag and sticks. Told us he had to go back to camp to grab something and then he circled around us in the woods and scared the shite out of us. Ended with a few kids running into trees and some pissing themselves. Good times.

The joke normally starts with someone being left on a levee. Woodcock could be substituted for snipe in the joke and it would have a base in truth. Here is an actual video of woodcock being captured at night.

We had it done to us in 5th grade or so. They gave us sticks, and a plastic bag and we all went out in the woods. Before we knew it the adults were gone.

We start making our way back on our own and they scared the shite out of us right at the wood line for everyone at the house to see/hear.

A lot funnier now than it was then.

You ain't lying, hard to hit ain't the word.

yes good to eat, as I recall they're a little whiter meat than a dove bird but about the same size. Been a while.

Snipe love a buffaloed rice field
