A snipe hunt is a type of practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of credulous newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task.

Cute girls are invited to go on a "snipe hunt" to get them somewhere a guy can steal a kiss from them. 

Girls sitting at a Dairy Queen, bored, always seemed intrigued by an invitation to a "snipe hunt." Not that I would know...

points all season?  Considered the greatest Texas High School team ever...or one of. Did you play on that team?

Obviously, the snipe hunt is ordinarily a practical joke. But they are, in fact, real birds and I'm told they're fine table fare. I used to hunt them for fun when I was young but never a good enough wing shooter  to kill more than a few of them. I didn't know they were good to eat until I read an article about snipe hunting a couple weeks ago.
