** Also, the Jägers' quest to find an heir was believed by everyone to be a snipe hunt, albeit a necessary one (it keeps their honor). When Agatha turned out to exist, one of them ''burst into [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051010 tears]''.
** And way earlier, Agatha herself [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050829 sent] Aedith on such a hunt to keep her little clanks a secret.
** When Agatha arrives at Castle Heterodyne, she isn't sent on a snipe hunt—but Wilhelm tells her that "people will have you fetching devil dog chow <ref>"devil dog" is a nickname for local [[Mechanical Monster|hunter-killer units]], so that's probably just a rude reference to the prisoners themselves</ref> and left-handed trilobite tighteners <ref>trilobite is a major element of Heterodyne heraldry and as such also a form of local pastry, with either one is out of luck as much as with the real thing</ref> soon enough."
* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' has the main characters sent on a wild goose chase to find some "[[Thunderbolt Iron|Star metal]]" to {{spoiler|repair [[Ancestral Weapon|Roy's sword]] (which was shattered in the previous arc)}}. There actually was some where they were headed at some point in time, however the {{spoiler|[[The Psycho Rangers|Linear Guild]]}} assumed that it would have been claimed by other adventurers by now, not to mention {{spoiler|it wasn't even needed to repair the sword}}. They do find it, though; however, it turns out to be a {{spoiler|chunk about the size of a pebble}}—but later it turns out that {{spoiler|that chunk is actually enough to reforge Roy's sword with a [[Infinity+1 Sword|+5 bonus and undead slaying abilities]].}}
** Durkon has technically been in a Snipe Hunt since before the start of the comic: a prophecy foretold that Durkon's return to his home would cause the destruction of the dwarven homelands. Therefore his superiors sent an unknowing Durkon to the human lands and told him not to return until they called him back. Another Oracle foretold that Durkon eventually WILL return... posthumously.

* In ''[[Nip and Tuck]]'', [[Genre Savvy|Tagger Beaver]] [http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00086.html gets rid of the protesters by sending them off to interfere with the snipe hunt.]
