Ah man, your post brought back so many fond memories of my childhood. Growing up in Spring Lake most of my time during my single digit years was spent on the mountain behind my home, fishing, and hunting frogs. It was a life todays youth will never know because most of them can't do much more than walk around with a cell phone stuck in their ear. Even the thought of wallowing around in the swanps hunting frogs is abhorent to them. Sad.
We hunted the common leopard frog which was abundant at the time. Don't see meny of them anymore but the bellowing bull frog is easily found today. We hunted them with "flippers", a BB gun, or just a 3-4 foot stick. It was easy to catch them by dangling a fly in front of them from a fishing pole but "the hunt" was always the best way to get them in numbers.
When I tell my grandkids I ate frogs when I was their age all I get is the common aaauck! and disbelief. Times long gone.
And then there was the guy visiting a cafe in the South who asked the waitress if she had fron legs. "Yes" "Well hop over there and grill me up a cheese burger."
He survivied but it was touch-and-go for awhile.
Welcome back to BFT and good luck on your frog hunt.
