[@richb.1453]

Nice !! Very different type of hunt. Thanks for showing people.

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊🙌 thanks brother!!! I hope it opens eyes to the great hunting opportunitys we have

[@nickbarrett3607]

Them bad boys let ya walk right up on em 🤣 that's what makes it so much fun. Thanks for the awsome video brother. 👍👊

[@LTOutdoors15]

I agree lol. That's the most exciting part. Never know when theyll bust out from under you haha. Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed this🙌

[@billverheyden2561]

You’ve got a good nose on ya Lt, finding those little birds in all that cover. lol

[@LTOutdoors15]

I shock myself lol. Didnt lose a bird. I think its thanks to all my metal detecting ang mushroom hunting. I just have a knack for searching objects that look out of place

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Awesome job👍🤓👍

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊🙌 thank you so much!!! It was a great time

[@fluken32]

Very cool hunt

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you so much Chris!!

[@kevindunseoutdoors26]

Very nice! I've bagged 4 snipe and 11 sora so far this season. Early season favorites of mine for sure.

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's awesome!!! Nice to meet a fellow marsh bird hunter lol. They're so much fun and its wild that so many people don't even know about them. I just ate mine tonight and forgot how delicious they were. I'll be after more this week 🙌👊 good luck with more of your hunts brother

[@kevindunseoutdoors26]

@@LTOutdoors15 Yup, couldn't agree more! Have had great luck with the 7.5 upland steel on snipe and rail. Even snuck up on a goose while snipe hunting and took it with the 7.5 shot!

[@LTOutdoors15]

@@kevindunseoutdoors26 holy cow!!! Now that's awesome lol. I've taken a couple geese with 4s but it's been a struggle lol. Those upland loads are definitely perfect

[@craigrobinson2847]

Great Hunt LT

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you so much Craig 😊🙌

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Those almost look like those Michigan Roadrunners, we see them all the time in the flooded fields during the wet season during the fall.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Long legged dowitcher?

[@InTheWoodsToday]

I honestly dont know their real name.

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's probably it. They look real similar but stand taller and don't try to hide lol

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Yep that sounds about right

[@bobg1219]

I'm curious if the reason your gun jammed was due to light load in the cartridge.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Nope, it jammed twice goose hunting too. I've had issues with that dang gun since I bought it

[@bobg1219]

@@LTOutdoors15 did it come with a warranty?

[@LTOutdoors15]

@@bobg1219 yeah it's been a few years though and I'm not even sure where it's at anymore. I want to buy another 870. I never had an issue with that gun

[@billverheyden2561]

Love my trusty 870

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's a great gun. I sure hope to get one

[@brianeisenga882]

Might have a meal there with all 5. Never ate those. Have eaten Woodcock before. Hopefully the meal was worth all the walking.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Absolutely, especially wrapped in bacon with a side of mashed potatoes 😊😊

[@gillgetter3004]

Saw a couple rail this evening at swampy pond near my house, thought they were

[@LTOutdoors15]

Rail are super cool. Like little chickens lol

[@robosmasher1]

Do snipe migrate early like teal ducks? I went out on the 16 and 17th and saw 3 birds. Definitely to much work walking through the mud.

[@LTOutdoors15]

It's a ton of work walking through the muck for sure. They do start migrating early like teal but they're around alot longer. I've shot a bunch during regular duck season.

[@tieoneon1614]

This was awesome. Iv always seen these in the marshes i duck hunt when I was younger. Now, duck hunting is so over crowded that this looks more fun and more action. Do they taste like woodcock?

[@LTOutdoors15]

It's such a riot, I had never seen any one else do it till my videos came out. Now theres been a few hunting where I go lol. I've honestly never eaten or shot a woodcock but to me it tastes like a good steak

[@johnmalecki713]

Doesn't Ruby retrieve?

[@richwicklund9001]

They would be a blast with a 410. As if it isn't hard enough, lets add a whole different level of difficulty!

[@LTOutdoors15]

That would definitely be fun lol. Hardest part is finding the steel shot for the smaller calibers. I wish I had some for my 20

[@BuzzMan1002]

We gotta get a trophy room tour

[@LTOutdoors15]

I don't have much so far lol. I'm really hoping to have more done. I'd love to have a mount with one of each wetland game bird. Sure would look nice. So far all I have is my euro mounts, a mallard drake, a redhead drake, and an Oldsquaw

[@BuzzMan1002]

@@LTOutdoors15 nice 👍 I got my euro mounts for my deer, a woodchuck , a salmon and a fox squirrel on the way

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's awesome, they're fun. I have a ton of ones in the house that I've cleaned myself. I hope to start a collection of actual mounts though

[@larryjistel3018]

What kind of shot??? Steel... what shot size...

[@LTOutdoors15]

Yup steel, I show in the second part of the video. I'm using federal upland steel 7.5's .

[@mattpresley2792]

How about a mud bug trapping show?

[@LTOutdoors15]

I did one last year It didnt do good on views but I could probably do it again for you

[@macmacc7402]

I am in Michigan…tried snipe in st clair flats….no luck …..where was thr hunt

[@LTOutdoors15]

Darn. Was it all marshy? I've been jumping a ton along my trapline lately. This was in squaw bay

[@davidfarrell4289]

You're a better man than me, telling us where you hunt😂

[@LTOutdoors15]

Not very many people will tempt it because you have to be so careful with your surroundings by the road. Its stressful, i prefer inland marshes

[@gillgetter3004]

I would of thought there woodcock!!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Theres not a huge difference between the 2. Woodcock just prefer more wooded areas and are stockier, also have more color
