In college the geology students took a field trip into the deepest uranium mine in the US, outside of Moab. Until that trip most geology graduates from our school went to work in the mines, after the trip not a single one of us ever worked a day underground. Our guide had been out of work for a year after a chunk of roof fell on him and crushed his hip. It was either boiling hot or freezing cold, and we kept hitting our heads on the roof. That 3 hour tour was more than enough for me.
I go every sprinr. Snipe season in Ohio is in May. I called Fish and Game when I moved to Idaho, to see if it was the same as Ohio. They Laughed at me. I’m thinking they must have thought that was a little early in the year. I’m still going in May, unless I’m told otherwise.
Why would you want to hunt one of these little creatures? they don’t look like they would have much meat on them at all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe
It’s just for sport. You catch and release them. Best time to get them is at night in the woods. Just shine a flashlight into a bag and make clicking sounds with your tongue and they run right into the bag. ;D
