Post by: Tajue17 on July 12, 2025, 07:59:59 AM
have you had grilled or fried frog legs,, oh man so good!!    anyway picture yourself with waders on stickbow of choice and a judo (or field point and fender washer) pointed arrow,, in the water stalking around the edges looking for em,,,,, shoot back towards the shore so no lost arrows...

anyway curious if anyone here is going to go out our season starts 7/16..

The other "white meat" ...  In my youth we did regular Perch fries were we youngin's supplied the bullies for the side dish ;) All were cleaned and fried like the perch fillets..MMmmmm
No LEFTOVERS at those family Fish/frog fries :bigsmyl:  !

Haven't done that in a lot of yrs. In a many states/areas in the US the bull-frog (and many other Amphibians) populations are way down. last place I trapped in ohio a few yrs back was the last place I saw good population of Bullfrogs and other species. 

It sure is a lot of fun bow and arrowing them , and "jigging" as I call it works great ;)  Did a little gigging as well, but the bow and arrow is where the fun is !  :archer2:  :campfire:

The bullfrog segment in The Bow Hunter of Tradagang DVD was the biggest success ever. It was the most popular segment of all time.

 I still have plenty of d vds. Left if anybody's interested.

One of my favorite things to do.
And then one day Michigan said I can't do that anymore.

no kidding,,, I know in Massachusetts they took it out of the hunting abstracts and put it in the fishing abstracts, re-worded it and removed the minimum size.

Pond Chicken, one of my favorites, have them regular at the local Chinese buffet. Never have hunted for them, tho.

ol' South MS Bowhunter and Possum Head can tell you about it. many years ago there used to be a crack unit called the F.R.O.G. Team that went after them. I was lucky enough to go on one mission with them. it was a good time.

we hunt them at night from a canoe and just grab them as we go by.
