About time for frogin'
« on: May 28, 2007, 02:22:00 AM »
Was out in the back yard this evening catching crawlers for to get me a catfish dinner and checked out the frogin' pond. Sounds like it's gonna be a good year. Season comes in here in a couple weeks.

I'll get wet, I'll get muddy, I'll get bug bit, I'll lose a bunch of arrows, and wife will probably make me undress on the deck before coming back in the cabin, but I'm gonna be eating good. Seems the older I get the more I act like an eight year old.  :)

I cant wait,  our season opens June 15th.   I have never shot'em with bows, I have always gigged them.     We are going to use our bows this year.  
    what kind of points do you use?  
Blunts, field tips, Judos.

I like the Dinner bell link.   LOL

   Tom,  I looked at your home page and saw this picture.   Very Very Funny.
 

Kinda of reminds me of this pic.

Jim, in the past I usually just used field points with the point ground off to about .25 caliber. Work fine for frogs but bury deep in the mud. This year I'm gonna try hex blunts.

Nothing finer than frog legs rolled in some flour, garlic salt, and cheyenne pepper, then fried up in some oil. And there's no better way to get 'em than with a bow...

Have fun Tom and give me a call if the frogs get too thick. I'll drop anything to do some froggin. Sounds like some big ones in the video. CK

Found this picture. It's a favorite of mine. I always like to say that this frog died of chronic patience.   :D   CK

Curtis, haven't received the frog video yet but Terry told me it'll be coming this way. That last pic of yours is a pretty good description of my frog hunting. I guess it's a good thing our daily limit up here is only 8.   :)  

Went down to the pond to see, instead of just hear, what I've got to work with this season. On the way I passed a tree where I've got a dove sit'n eggs. Big black ratsnake was heading her way for an easy meal of eggs. I love these snakes, and catch'em whenever I can and put'em in my barns. Probably have moved a hundred or more in there over the years. Last year I caught them killing young rabbits, young squirrels (up in the trees yet), and frogs in the pond.

I pulled this snake off that tree 4 times before he got the message and headed away.

Looks like an Emory Ratsnake. I've seen those get enormous. Got one out of the neighbor ranchers chicken coop. He'd eaten two banty roosters and tried to squeese out a hole. No doing with the chickens in him. I think he was around 7 1/2'. I like the good looking croaker in the end of the clip.

I generally shoot cheap three blade broadheads for frogs. I don't shoot good enough to peg em with a blunt. I generally blunt the end of a three blade and keep the blades sharp. Goves some shock and still cuts if you miss a little one way or the other. I like the old hills hornets.

Frog legs are fine table fare. Not too many around here anymore.
