greenshank1 406 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think Snipe are bigger with longer bill and rounded tail whereas jack snipe I think are less common, smaller with shorter bill and wedge shaped tail. Let me know if thats right 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm not against shooting them but since i hardly every have seen woodcock or snipe I'd be too facinated to shoot one. I'd just be happy to see either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
