The desperate and disgusting practice of searching for discarded partially smoked cigarettes with the intention of either relighting and smoking them, or removing the unused tobacco and rolling them into new cigarettes.
Popular spots for snipe hunting are ashtrays outside non-smoking establishments, the areas under restaurant drive thru windows, bus stops, etc.

Hunting snipes is the practice of collecting cigarette butts to remove the tobacco and "roll your own", or smoke the remaining tobacco in the "butt". Hunting snipes is usually a practice of homeless people or broke people.

The act of taking city folk out into the wilderness to catch “snipe”, which while it is a real bird, the ones they’re catching aren’t. Give them a pillow case and lead them into a field and say you’re gonna scare the “snipe” to em
“So Kyle, have you ever gone snipe hunting?”
“What’s that?”
“I’ll take you out tonight, just bring a pillow case with you”
“What’s that?”
“I’ll take you out tonight, just bring a pillow case with you”
