Which is a shame, as we have frogs around here which are as big as a dinosaur. I might just go out this summer and shoot a few.

Maybe if I cook them they'll be fit to eat.

I've never gigged a frog in my entire life.

When I was a Boy Scout, we used to go out, shine a light in their eyes, and club 'em with a 2x4. Damn mud flew 10 feet in the air.

And once I got not much older, I started using a .22. Pretty effective. Stingers pretty much hammer them, Yellow Jackets will blow them half way into the pond.

Fellow I know was telling me stories about when he went frog hunting when he was a kid. Said they'd shine a light in the poor frogs eyes, then open up on him with a couple of .22 automatics, a .410, and a .30-06.

But this is Bugtussell, like I have to remind anyone.
