assateague wrote:Ok, thanks Rick. Apparently, most of what I flush are rails then, at least early. Never seen one fly more than about 25 feet, and that appears to be hard work. Would never describe them as jets, and we seem to play leapfrog into and out of the marsh, so thinking they're all rails. Better hold off on the trigger for another few weeks, although they do "screech" a bit when jumped. And to be painfully honest, until they're in hand, I have a very difficult time telling the difference between our Virginia Rails and Snipe. The difference is only 2 weeks, but could be expensive.

I shoot them in the mouth while in flight...with T shot.

You'd kill more with a rape whistle and tennis racket.
