Kirk,

Not bad but I did dope up well before hitting the slough.

I was on the other side of the slough too so my shot were not that steep, but several frogs were on the other side wouldn't you know it    :knothead:  

Mike,

Frogs and snakes seem to be my forte, wish it was deer and hogs    :rolleyes:

Looks like great fun John. We were fly fishing on a pond last week and the frogs were making their presence known. I hope to have at them in the next few weeks. It's hard to beat frog hunting and they are quite a delicacy.

We developed a "light caddy" last year using our Wing attachment to mount a light to the top of the bow riser. It was designed to be used with or without the bow quiver, and for night hunting frogs, hogs, fish, raccoons, or predators. Although it hasn't yet seen extensive usage, it looks very promising. In testing here in the shop it has proved to be secure on the bow and very convenient. It sure beats trying to hold a light and a bow in the same hand. We now have it for sale but it's not on our website yet.

I remember you had a couple of really good outing last year post up when you slay some.

Your posts SMB, always bring a smile to my face or a grin to my chin!

I forget how late we have to wait to hunt frogs here... but alas, not a target rich environment I can find... as many as you took last year, be interesting to see if they have any size again this year!  

Keep up the fun posts! Good luck!

John, you have really got the fever started. I hope to get out on a pond or two in the next few nights.

Randy, your "Light Caddy" is on it's way. It's complete with 200 lumen light and a good battery. Put it tight on the bow, set the light focus to where you aim and you are ready. Let me know how it works out.

South MS Bowhunter

Don,

Since your Light Caddy is not on the web site yet what the price for one?  And the light come with it?

If I had a small video camera that could be hooked up to that light caddy it would be great to get some "Shot Footage".

I tried last year to film "Pascagoula Archer" Tommy but it didn't work out as the camera wouldn't film good in the very low light conditions.

It is something to behold a big old bullfrog being whacked! especially with one of the "Pitchfork" frog heads   :saywhat:

Here a link to a "How to" I did last year...

A moderator really ought to ad this to the How-To section

John, the price for the "Light Caddy" which includes the limb wrap attachment, 200 lumen LED adjustable focus light, and one AA battery, is $35.00 plus $3.00 shipping. It wraps the top riser fadeout where it is secure and out of the way. Right now it can be ordered by email or phone, but is not yet on the website.

SMB- Do we have a season on frogs here in MS? I mad me a couple of your trident arrows and am ready to find a place to go now!

South MS Bowhunter

Chris,

Yes, this year it opened in April and will run to September 30th.

Where are you located in the state?

John, have you tried a bowfishing rig for frogs? I like shooting the flying carp at Lake Mary, but now you've got me wanting to give frogs a whirl!
Having done so much, with so little, for so long, I can now do anything with nothing.

Cliff,

I bought a "PSE Kingfisher" to be my frog rig but found it to be too heavy for my taste and the heavy arrows not necessary for the type of shooting I'm doing.

Originally we started frogging from a canoe and shooting them in the lilly and weed beds. We spent more time looking for arrows under the weeds then shooting frogs.

I thought the fish arrow would solve that problem, but found I had better success using the gig points I made even in the weed beds as the prongs would catch the weeds and usually stay on top.

I use my hunting bow with regular arrows and either gig points, mix of blunts, and field points with washers. The gig points to me works best if kept to 1.5" - 2" wide max and are devastating on frogs.  If you bend them they will nose dive on you so some maintenance is required to keep them true. Just bend them true with pliers.

Now me and the guys I frog with spend more time on the little dead lakes that are found off the rivers and sloughs.

I'm sure where you hunt you have the oxbow lakes that fill up during flood stage and will contain frogs. If it has a an abundances of craw fish it will have frogs.

I just thought about this...
I'd be willing to bet that the leftover frog parts would make pretty good catfish bait, too!

South MS Bowhunter

Yes sir make some good chum, phew!
