The taste is usually described as being similar to duck and they are usually hunted with shotguns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe
Just couldn't resist adding my two cents worth.

gsimbu,
A neat trick to eliminate snipe is to attach some sacrificial slats to the sides the same thickness as the piece you are planing and about 6" longer on both ends. That way the snipe occurs on the sacrificial boards (slats) instead of the piece you are working on.

Hi BPR,ryanbp01 wrote:What I use to lessen/eliminate snipe on boards is that have my outfeed table set at the same level as my portable planer.
On a related note: Hey Tim, any truth to cooked snipe tasting like chicken?

james.miller's observation not withstanding, I wood say that they taste very dry, but each one a little different. Some taste of oak, others of maple or walnut. You get the idea.
