Well was sitting at home and just finished eatin supper when a buddy of ours stopped by to drop off some massive filets from a 42# blue cat he had just caught down on the river by our house. We got to talking and he mentioned the frogs were pretty loud tonight and it hit me that i hadnt been out gigging yet this season. Well needless to say the itch got me good and i had to go out but decided to take my recurve and some mismatched arrows and see how id do with it. I wrapped my headlamp around my hand and about 20 minutes later( dang battery drains way too fast) i had us a nice mess of frog legs to accompany the catfish for our fry this coming thursday. Ive always loved my big long gig pole but after this there is no turning back from taking the recurve out.

Nice haul Justin! I was sound asleep when the fire alarm started chirping indicating a low battery. Got up, disconnected it to change later this morning when reasonable. No sooner gone back to bed when the F. R. O. G alarm 🚨 went off and seen your post.

As Supreme Leader and Captain of F. R. O. G wanted to be first in saying congratulations 🎉.

Thank you. I had 4 or 5 more but unlike usual where i would use a drawstring bag to put them in i only had a styrofoam cooler. Frogs knocked the lid off and it was a mad scramble to catch them to put tem back in. The ones shot with a judo or a broadhead with practice blades dont go anywhere but ther were a few that were thumped on longer shots with a saunders bludgeon that were barely phased. Live and learn, ill stick with the judos next time.

Nice shooting! My mouth is watering just thinking about those frog legs hitting the pan!

Now that looks like fun. And tasty.

Justin,

Me and the team have experimented with different heads of our design to purchased ones and ultimately we use hexheads, VPA thumpers, or just a field point with a washer behind it.

I prefer the hex or VPA and a frog coldcox by one in the head will stiffen straight out😁

We find it a lot of fun and dare I say even more so than deer hunting 😂

Lots more action!

We try and promote getting your sons, daughters and grandchildren out bow hunting frogs, loads of fun and they get to do a lot of shooting.

That’s a nice haul. Miss frog legs. Years ago we went along the Colorado River near Yuma to hunt big frogs. It was fun but at night it was hard to spot the big Mojave Rattlesnakes that also we’re hunting the frogs.

The frog footage on the Tradgang DVD was the most popular segment of all the hunting clips on the video...

We had a Sponsor once that had some VERY unique heads...he had a GREAT frig head. Not sure what ever happened to him...he was a cool dude.

John,
I enjoy your Froggin posts and looks like you are shooting the Mesa longbow? I just got one back in June and so far I really like the looks and feel of it.

Terry Green · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2019, 10:30:55 AM »

Yes sorry I got cut short earlier...

I love these types of posts..... Lots of fun and great eating..... Plus hunting frogs makes you feel like a kid again!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this morning... it made my day.

Well as long as it doesnt rain this evening ill be taking our buddy that brought over the catfish out to get after some more frogs. He has never seen it done with a bow so this should make for an interesting night.

Hoosierarcher88 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2019, 08:06:21 PM »

Well im all geared up and ready for it to get dark. Swapped some points around so ill have 1 bludgeon and for those big godzilla frogs, 3 arrows tipped with 300 grain vpa small game heads

I'm gonna have to make a dawn patrol this week before work. We can't use any artificial illumination to shoot frogs, which means its a daytime activity here in PA.
Terry, the frogging and squirrel hunting are probably my favorite parts of the tradgang DVD!

Hoosierarcher88 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 17, 2019, 09:32:47 PM »

Less than a month till squirrel opens up here and ill be sure to be after them as well. Dont get me wrong i enjoy deer hunting but small game hunting with a bow is just an all out blast
