Believe me, many more frogs were harmed after the taking of that picture.
I think the grand total came around 50-55 frogs taken this summer. My favorite game in terms of both hunting and eating. Only thing better than pan-fried frog legs is seeing a judo take one cleanly after a well-made shot...

There is a creek that runs strait thru the middle of some property my brothers and I have.That creek has lots of minnows in it.There will be spots that the water will be black with them.About a mile up the creek there is a plant that has to have a run off pond.Instead of a pond they built a lake and they have it full of those minnows.They are there to keep check of the quality of the run off water.They get out into the creek and I have been wanting to go down there at nite and check on the frogs.When I was a kid up near the plant we would go frog gigging.Back then the banks were load with them.We would get all we wanted is in 50 ft.I am hoping they are still that way.I will find out this spring.The funny thing was we saw all finds of fish and minnows and frogs but no snakes.All that food fro them and there was none.I know there are some there now because I have killed two cottonmouths this summer.Small ones but they still can bite.I don wade the creek anymore so I will be using my bow now.I caught the snakes by hand then but now I dont want to be in a hundred yards of them.Caught a big cottonmouth once when I was a kid and holding it with one hand and cut the head off with my pocket knife in the other.Had the thing in a jar of alcohol with a match stick behind the fangs and the mouth wide open.Had it for about 40 years and lost it in the move down to the lake.600 acre lake in the back yard and not a frog anywhere.

I use to hunt frogs with target arrows in Kentucky,Indiana,and Tennessee as a kid. When you're wading in the water and shoot a frog with a target arrow, you'd better hurry to get to him. Especially when the arrow is half buried in the bank and is almost horizontal to the water. I've caught a lot of them about to escape over the nock end.
I agree with Bowspirit, frog legs are very tasty. I like them better then any other wild game except maybe shellcracker.

Here in MS they changed the law to where you cannot puncture the skin of a frog while hunting, so you have to grab or buy one of the mechanical grabbers.
