I was going to bring that subject up also. I was lucky to have a couple of brothers to warn me about the "then famous hunts", so I was never on the receiving end of the hunt, however, it was pretty exciting to see a new student come to town in hopes they didn't know what snipe hunting was.
I believe we had 2 hunts when I was in high school. I shouldn't say, but the cemetery seemed to be the best location for a snipe hunt. It was not too far from town and very quiet. Unlike Dallas, we would go back and pick our hunter up and of course, there would be nothing bagged, only a very scarred hunter.
For any one that doesn't already know, Yes, there really is a snipe bird, just not in our area. Oh yes, you would think this would be for boys only, but guess what, us girls thought it was fun also.
