Snipe – Fast, Flighty, and Seriously Fun to Hunt

Snipes are one of those birds that always keep you on your toes. Small, quick, and full of surprises, they take off like a rocket the moment you get too close — and good luck tracking them on the wing! These wetland birds are built for speed, and hitting one is no small feat. That’s exactly why hunters love them.

At Suilen Hunting Ireland, we guide you into the right terrain where snipe are most active — soft bogs, marsh edges, and low grasslands. You’ll walk quietly, scan constantly, and be ready for anything. It’s dynamic, it’s exciting, and it’s a serious challenge for even experienced shooters. You’ll be laughing at your misses as much as you celebrate your hits.

You don’t need fancy gear or a full team to enjoy it, just a steady dog, a shotgun, and a bit of patience. At Suilen, we know the right spots and the right timing to give you the best shot — and the best day out.
