Whoooooooooo-BOY!!!! That's awesome, Ken. Great news about the frogs being back, too. The otter though, not so much...
got a chance to use my Grampas old knife that was left to me.

I just keep coming back to that for some reason Ken... :goldtooth:
Congrats again, brother...
Good stuff fellas....congrats!
Cade and I are getting ready to do the same thing soon :archer2:
Great to see Ken.
Glad you got out this morning> i really was pooped this morning an with the rain coming down I opted to go back to bed. I gave it a little to hard yesterday.
I just cooked up the legs from yesterday and now will be looking for more water. I may have seen a spot right bey my house through the woods. It is an off shoot marsh from the Mohawk river.
Ken,
You should have Ron make your knife clothes and arrows to just to complete the whole get up. :archer:
that'll hold you over till deer season, fine hunting there mountainman.
MMMMM, swamp chicken :thumbsup:
MMMMMMMM GOOD! Love frog legs...tastes like chicken good shooting<><
Good stuff, Ken. Really like the knife too.
very cool im gonna have to find somewhere to do some frog shootin. that bow looks better every time i see new pics, alot of soul in that one.
Awesome brother, sounds like a nice day was had. Nothing better than a few legs hopping in the skillet. Been hard to find them in my areas last two years.
Nice going. cool looking bow.
Chuck,
i had brought about 16 arrows, i only used one with a judo head, worked great and never lost it. hope to get out again this weekend and find some new area.
I am disgusted!!!!!
You folks are shooting all those frogs and I can't!
Why? I'm glad you asked, I'll tell you! Here in Missouri our season doesn't open on them until midnight June 30th.
Somebody call me a Whaaaambulance!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing with us! The next pictures of froglegs I'd love to see is what they look like cooked up with all the fixings with them.
God bless,Mudd
Now Mudd I'm with you on the pics of the frog kills. Don't think i have seen so many in years past, I gotta give this a try.
Careful Chris once you try it theres no going back :help:
Man it's been years since i had frog legs and if my memory serves me well they were some fine eating.
That's some great shooting to kill that many frogs, way to go.
for those of you who have not (there are many) tried frog legs you REALLY don't know what your missing!! i know everyone says "they taste like chicken" but ya know what they REALLY do!!! you would ber very suprised the amount of meat on the legs, even the little ones and you do not need a whole mess of frogs for a good, small meal. i killed 6 and it would be more then enough for most hoever i like to eat and i bet 12 would be perfect!!! i cut mine pretty far up the back, above the legs as i do not want to miss any good meat. so far up that both legs are attached still to the lower back. before i put them in the pan i cut them apart, dip in egg batter and bread crumbs and fry untill light brown and crisp. not to many bones to worry about at all. you could use different spice's but i'm telling ya they are so good i do not add anything.
Sounds like a great time :thumbsup:
You could batter a pine stick,fry it and Ken would eat it....... :thumbsup: and then tell you it tasted like chicken!!
:laughing:
Funny but True Ron.
I heard Ken was checking to see if there was any left over porcupine.
ya might be right but i don't care how ya cook a porcupine i would NEVER stick a fork in it!! i know a tall feller that did though! wait a minute this is about frog hunting!
Rib-bit :p
Well, that tall feller just pulled another 5 outta the muck and mire. 4 from the beaver pond and one from ol' reliable...
way to go bro wish i wuz there with ya! are ya up for a hunt Saterday morning and some frog recon at 2 new ponds?
Chris,
Did you go in barefoot and come out with a shoe on one foot. :rolleyes:
Good shooting wish I was there Bro!!! :archer:
You guys are gonna have webbed feet before this is done. :biglaugh:
nice shootin I love froggin with my bow
If you are careful when you cut their legs off and dont hit any vital organs they will grow another set of legs. You have to hand feed them till the legs grow back.LOL. Sort of like a frog hospital.
i know they can grow legs back but a judo to the head makes them pretty like humpty dumpty, just can't put them back together again!
the frogs got the last laugh however as i have a BAD case of poisn ivy!!!! looks like a trip to the doc's before my eye swells shut!
Get well soon Ken. I have a case opf PI myself from tyhe pond by your houdsse. Funny I tried to be careful then washed well when I got home and still got it. Albeit not bad but I still am dealing with it now even a week later.
Let me know if you guys are still going this weekend.
Do you skin the legs before the egg and bread crumbs? I don't know anybody up here doing this, but I jumped a good size frog into a pond the other day. Maybe should try for a few and see how they come out.
skin em bread em and fry em.
