The great thing about the snipes is that they are able to slot into most stories. I really hope we haven't seen the last of them. *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. 6 Days to John Barrowman!

Yeah I hope we havnt heard*

I finished this on the way home from work today. Have to say I was disappointed that the fabled snipe was a meerkat. I would have worked it to be a shapeshifter with telekinetic properties, that tricks people into thinking they did NOT see anything, thus how it stays hidden for centuries. Flaw in the story is that no way lil' pistol toting meerkats are killing people that see them, and they constantly go undetected. Needed some p-a-r-a-n-o-r-m-a-l aspect to pull it together. "Trample the weak, hurdle the dead."

" no way lil' pistol toting meerkats are killing people that see them, and they constantly go undetected" i see you are working FOR the snipes helping them maintain the myth of their non-existence and hidden identity (of course i am on YOUR side, no need for the little buggers to seek me out) the voices just got VERY anxious * It's all about the Numbers, my friends The Math god

I liked Snipe Hunt, but the ending seemed to lack ... something. Not the kick you between the eyes climax we expect from Scott. Do over, Mr. Sigler? Please?

The first rule of knowing about the Snipes - do not talk about Snipes. The second rule of knowing about  the Snipes - do NOT TALK about Snipes! Once they find out you know, it's only a matter of time until you're a gonner.

You're the one who told us

Nightmare ?

ogreoregon's picture
I listened to Snipe Hunt late one night and I swear to you that several times that night I felt small things running across my bed. I could feel something moving and it woke me up. It was creepy.

Was that newspaper there before?

KnitWitch's picture
Snipe Hunt rocked and ended up being worth the wait for the last installment. Very kewl to hear Dawn and Drew included in the story. Unfortunately, I now have a new paranoia to keep me awake at night. Thanks for making me afraid of random pieces of newspaper now, Scott! Sheesh!!!

Snipees

tubeyes's picture
Agreed, snipe hunt rocked ASS!!!! Which is why I wrote up a huge synopsis on it in the siglerpedia, but you shouldn't trust that I wrote everything that is necessary to explain it's badassedness, so in conclusion, I urge you all to edit the siglerpedia, or DIE!

Genius

Satchvaivaughan's picture
Snipe Hunt was GREAT; the idea of such a creature was very intriguing (sp?) and creepy. Just goes to show, there very well could be--and probably is--something (not necessarily a creature of some kind) that exists right under our noses. Scientific progress goes 'Boink!'

Snipes rule!

StayzKrunchyInMilk's picture
Snipehunt is what happens when you have too much alcohol/drugs and then watch meerkat manor. hehe. And it turns out that those things make a great combonation. Snipehunt is deffinitely my favorite Bloodcast short.

BEST USER ICON EVER!

scottsigler's picture
Seriously, don't EVER change this.

it's AWESOME, isn't it?? it

treed's picture
it's AWESOME, isn't it?? it has the voices scared * It's all about the Numbers, my friends The Math god

I totally agree!

KnitWitch's picture
That is GREAT! ------------ KnitWitch

Creepy

Steven666's picture
The snipe hunt was cool but a little creepy

Need another fix

corwin's picture
This has been my favorite Bloodcast short story so far. Like all really good stories, it left me wanting ... no, needing ... more. Any chance you'll be expanding this one, or at least running with it's concept in something more novel-length?

Hoax

Owen's picture
Too bad (or not) it was a hoax. Meerkats photo report was a hoax

Are you sure?

Maybe the snipes just want you to think that. Has anyone check to see the the camera owner suffered any untimely accidents? I bet the snipes that took that picture have already been dealt with for leaving evidence and anything that says hoax was planted after the fact. Internet access is pretty simple now a days afterall.

Okay, that's more than a little creepy...

Meerkat manor

Qeldroma's picture
You know every time I watch meerkat manor, I am ready for one of them to run out of a hole with a spear. Or a few to come out holding a revolver.

I would finally break down
