Frogging?

[JR1572]

I have noticed several bullfrogs in the area by my house.

Is there a season for frogging? I may want to try it.

Also, how do you clean a bullfrog?

Thanks,

Yes, frog season is open every month except April and May. April, May, let em lay. If you remind me in June, I will post a video on how to clean them.

eta: It's closed for those two months because that is supposed to be the high point of the breeding season.

That explains why I see so many of them right now!

If they are still around in June I'll give it a try.

Thanks Ben.

OOOOH! Where are they? My other sobriquet is the Frog Assassin Kid!

Best trip was over 500 bully's in one night (4 of us), and my family won't eat them.

Sorry, I'm not giving that up. I just hope they are still around in June.

Forget giggin em, if you wanna do it right go grabbin. Need a bright spotlight, hold the light on them, and reach over, grab, and hang on till the bitter end.

They will be there as long as someone else doesn't know about them too! And if they do and they wait till legal, you'd better be ready to move 12:00:01 am on May 31.

And Beeramid is right, you don't have to kill them. Just grab them. The light needs to be strong enough to settle them. This way if you don't catch enough for a meal you can let them go by your house or pond. If you are a novice you are in for a serious learning experience on how tricky those little buggers are. Wait till you leave your sack full of them untied, or when you reach in to put another in the bag; JAILBREAK!

I haven't been in twenty years. My sons been asking me to take him. Cleaning them is easy once you get the hang of it.

I generally remove the toes/feet but here is what they should look like cleaned......lil people

Easiest way to clean, with sharp knife, ring around the forward of the neck close to the head as possible, With good pliers or catfish skinners, grab the skin and pull back right down to the feet, gut and wash!
Batter and fry! Call ME when they are almost about to float in Lake Crisco!

They do look like little people when skinned.

Man, you ain't wasten any meat on them.

That's why we disect them in Biology Classes.

Establish a rhythm. Do 1 step at a time to all of them. It will speed up the process when you have a bunch of frogs. I like to get a pipe or hatchet & knock'em ALL in the head like this until they're like then get a sharp filet knife & ring them ALL around the top of the legs, then get your skinning pliers & pull skin down past ankles, cut off feet & legs.

If you have children let them shoot the frogs w/ a pellet gun instead of decapitating them; kids love that!

I always grabbed them by both legs and whopped their head on a hard surface.
