All you’re going to get on Yahoo are some teenagers who’ve played too much Call of Duty and think it’s realistic.

If you know the terrain, look for irregularities. Search for signs of disturbance. Also, be silent and listen for anything that sounds like an airsoft rifle. Shooting in that general direction may flush him out and force him to move, if he’s stupid.

Also search for human-shaped silhouettes. This can be difficult; the human eye is made to detect movement before irregularities. If something is perfectly still, it will be very hard to see.

That’s all I can tell you. I have no experience with sniping.

Oh, also avoid standing up with your back towards a light source. Being silhouetted against the sun is a terrible idea. However, having the sun in front of you will cause light to reflect off your scope (and obscure your vision). Keep the sun to your left or right.
