Looks like a great time. I would hunt snipe more, but they aren't great table fare. More along the lines of, wrap them in bacon, grill, then throw away the snipe and eat the bacon... Please let me know if I'm wrong. I would love to hear a good recipe.

Au Contraire. They are great table fare. I use the paraffin waterfowl technique to remove feathers and down.
Gut, coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. I use a 4 bird vertical roaster made from a coat hanger and cook them over high heat on a grill until medium rare. Nothing better in my book.

Sounds good Gil. So pretty much cook them like duck, with the skin on, high heat, seared, to medium rare. Got it! I cook duck breasts, skin on, that way, in a frying pan. High heat, sear both sides to rare/medium rare, let sit a few minutes, and de-glaze the pan drippings to create a rich dripping glaze over the top. I need to do it outside on a grill though, because it smokes the house up something fierce!

Sounds good to me. I like most game meat that way, but have only eaten snipe once. It was good but not that enticing to get me to go after them.

That looks like great game prep, how could they not turn out tasty.

Wow Gil, that game prep looks great, but also very time consuming!

Mark, I melted 3 blocks of Gulf Wax into a large pot of about 3 gallons of water brought to just below boil. With guts intact, after taking maybe 15 seconds per bird to cut off wings, head and one foot, I rough plucked each to allow wax penetration. Holding each bird by the foot, one at a time, I dipped it into the floating wax into the pot of hot water. I insured full submersion below the floating wax with a stick. Pulled it out, dipped again, and dropped it into a bucket of cold water for a few minutes, and then let them sit out of the water until the wax hardened. Peel like an orange, cut off remaining foot and gut. Can't say it took more time than if I'd completely plucked each bird. I cleaned ducks the same way back in the day. Start to finish was probably 45 minutes, but only about 10 minutes of work. Rest of the time was waiting for wax to melt and harden.
Snipe have delicate skin, but the wax technique doesn't tear it and removes feathers and down completely, even around shot holes. Gil

Hey all, my son Jim and I went out for our pre-dinner, Thanksgiving Day hunt. We each got one a piece. We saw plenty of birds, but boy were they ever spooky. Flushing way head and not giving Raina much of a chance to pin one. She did manage to pin a couple however. So....she was the hero of the day!

I used my 12b Cogswell & Harrison Konor and Jim used his 12ga V. Sarasqueta 3EC



And.......Raina!



Happy Thanksgiving!

Greg

Hey all, went out today with my son Jim. We hunted a different area. Saw birds, but not as many as yesterday. I managed 2 and Jim got 1. It was a windy day, but Addie did a fine job! Very proud of this 20 month old.

I used my 12b F.A. Anderson (Jim didn't want me to take his picture today, so none of him!)



And a couple of shots of Addie





Best,

Greg
