Rrrribbit, Rrrribbit, first frogs of the summer!

It’s summertime on the Gulf Coast and the frogs are croaking, time to be after them!

Kirk (Tommy's brother in law   :scared:  

Didn't get any pictures of the actual shooting and some of the adventures from the night like stepping on cotton mouth moccasins (twice) or getting turned around and circling the same area twice (neither one of us brought our compass or GPS's   :knothead: )

Cool! I have never hunted frogs before. I bet that makes for a really good meal.

Bisch,

They make for a gourmet meal, very tasty table fare!  Did not realize how popular frogs are outside of the South much less the USA, but they are really considered a delicacy in France.

John,
  Great mess of frogs. They are one of the best predators on the planet. As an example, a Maine friend photographed a green frog (the largest New England native) jumped a chipmunk that had come to the lake to drink. Kermit dragged the rodent into the lake where it drowned and then ate it!!
  I'll try to get the pics downloaded if I can.

Good haul!  I'm jealous, I haven't found a good spot for frog giggin round here yet, but there is litterally over 1000 miles of waterways in an hours circle of me.  I'm considering building a bow specifically for frog shootin.

So tired of the frozen frog legs I get at the pub, I want good fresh frogs!  No season or limit on american bulls here, which is nice!

Yes sir a bull frog is a killing machine! It's always interesting to perform an autopsy on their stomach contents and see what they consume.
