no offence but I DO NOT leave the skin or fat on them it practically smells and tastes like cow manure.... now that could be because I shot hundreds in a flooded cow pasture when I started hunting them... but it cured me of leaving the skin on for the rest of my life!!!!! and BTW this seems to be a really good year for them I have seen more in my spot than I have in several years!

Not my best work for sure... but I had to try it. This is from a couple years ago. I shot 8 over the course of a couple hunts before I got one that wasn't too beat up. (shooting steel 7.5) The rest tasted good! I'll try it again sometime. I know brazos has some nice ones he did.

Looks good. A couple things I would do different from seeing snipe flying over many years of hunting them would be to put more point in the shoulders, tuck the tail into a point, and tuck the feet together under the tail. If my bird I would like a landing pose better with the wings more spread, the tail completely fanned out, and the legs dropped. I think they look spectacular when they end a tucked dive hitting the air brakes by spreading their wings and fanning the tail feathers for a spiral drop.

I agree, I was lucky just to get the silly thing together in one piece. That is some thin skin! I'll have to try and get some more this year and try your suggestions.
