Snipe hunting story from George Sundel

Here’s a camp memory from George Sundel.  Have one to share? Use the contact form to let us know.

The counselors would take us out after dark with bats, clubs and cotton laundry bags.  They told us a Snipe was part bird and part animal.  One of them would start screaming and yelling for all of us to come to him.  When we got there he had something in a laundry bag (probably a big round rock)  We would all hit the bag, thinking we were killing the dreaded Snipe.  You could tell anything to a kid in those days.  It was exciting and scary.
