Eating Frogs

When we were kids we hunted them with the skinny yellow wiffle ball bats. Usually had a big ball of tape on the smashin' end too!

Nice pic Caleb. Bet it took less time to eat those frogs than it did to clean them.

you got that right!

I did however come up with a system to make it quicker, but it still takes forever.

nice bucket lid there. I bet that beats cuttin a X in the lid. We cleaned about 100 in 15 minuter with pliers and a pair of tin snips.

I guess if I ever get proficient I will have to devise a method for cleaning. I may only have appetizers for a while.

Charlie we use to eat frogs many years ago and got them by gigging for them. But shooting with the bow is a good practice. Then just peel them, bread them and fry, can use a batter and deep fry them also. Very tasty. Going to have to wait a few more days untill they wake up over there.

Just finished a new book about Bow Spiking (like a gig on an arrow) fish and frogs in the Missouri Ozarks. I have shot lots of fish over the years but no frogs. Going to try it now.

Frog was maybe my first trad kill, as a kid in Tennessee. We would wade in the water at night, look towards the bank with a flashlight, and shoot at their glowing eyes. We took turns on the bow and the flashlight. Carried them in a burlap sack.
Now, I think of all the cottonmouths in those ponds that we waded around in!
