Topic for discussion is the elusive Snipe. For generations in WV children and adults have been told of snipe hunting as a Myth or Fact? Many believing the snipe to be a non existent ground bird resembling a road runner would laughingly send the unexpected victim on a fake hunt. sending the person on a hilltop with a burlap sack they would try to run the bird in the sack. While his buddies would be laughing he would be trying his best to bag the snipe but would more likely catch some wood ticks and mosquito bites. Upon giving up the victim would say there was no snipe in that spot. His buddies would break the news that it was all a joke and that he had been targeted for a great laugh. Poor fellow. So is there a real snipe in WV or is it a pranksters game? Has anyone who reads this ever heard of this old time WV prank?
