Pictures Frogs

hiodon · 09-01-2008, 12:23 AM

I figured since a fishing license is needed to harvest frogs, this was the appropriate forum to post some pics. We found a new hole today that's closer to home and has a heck of a lot more frogs than the old honey hole. We got these in about half an hour. All in all a pretty good time, we even got a leopard frog.

nice catch do you eat the lepoard frog legs too? Nver thought about it but the bullfrogs are great.

bassnbaseball · 09-01-2008, 01:31 AM

How were those caught/killed?

hiodon · 09-01-2008, 01:41 AM

I have never tried leopard frog legs, but I guess there's a first time for everything. All we did was shine a spotlight in their eyes and grab them real quick. After confirming they were 4.5" from snout to vent we just smacked their noggins against the tailgate. After that, we pull the skin off the legs and cut the spine just above the legs and ankle joints with a pair of wire cutters. Then you fry the legs like chicken and enjoy. It really doesn't get much better.

ate the when I was a kid a remember they were great just never thought about leapoard frog legs catch them for bait all the time but I guess what is the difference? Never tought about trying them just curious if you eat soem let me know how they are taste like chicken? lol great catch on the bullfrogs nothing beats the light though wit stil and easy to catch. have chased them in the day tried netting catching by hand nothing beats the spotlight though.

They killed Kermit!!!

I would like to suggest a horizontal hold when taking the picture. It's a lot easier on the frog and increases the survival rate.

Nice frogs. I knew we had mountain lions in Nebraska, but I did not know we had leopards!!

cougarw · 09-01-2008, 07:34 PM

Nice. You really need to try a fly rod on those bigger frogs. They put up one hell of a fight. Even better than big blue gill.

Here's information from the Georgia Outdoor Forum in regards to taking photos of your deer.

With hunting season nearly upon us, here's some:

Tips for taking better photos of your deer.
The Administrators and Moderators at Woody's/GON understand that our members are proud of their deer harvest as they should be. We want our members to share their photos with all of us on this site. The whitetail deer is a magnificent animal and we as hunters have a great deal of respect for the species. Attention to details when photographing your trophy will preserve the memories of your hunt for the future.
Here are some tips for taking and sharing your pictures
1. Clean up your deer as best you can before you take your photo. This can easily be done with water, wash away as much of the bloody areas as possible.
2. If possible take your photos in the field or in natural setting.
3. Position the animal in front of you, place your deer on its abdomen with the front legs folded back under the chest. Pull the rear legs up under the belly of the deer for a natural look. Harvest photos are easiest to take before your deer gets to stiff.
4. Try to position the camera at the level of the deer's head or lower. You can use a mini tripod, or have a friend take the photo for you.
5. Hold your trophy by the hide on the scruff of the neck, and avoid putting your hands on the antlers.
6. If you field dress your deer prior to your photo being taken try and avoid open body cavities and move your deer away from the field dressing area.
7. Try not to take the photo with the tongue hanging out of your deer.
8. Relax and Smile!
We hope that the above tips will assist you the next time you take your harvest photo. If you are having trouble posting your photo, or want some help editing it, please contact one of the administrators or moderators.
Good luck deer hunting, and please keep those photos coming.

Now I'm going to put in the word "frog" for "deer" and see how it looks.

Not bad, huh?

Good job on the frogz by the way.

Now that's real funny. I'll keep those tips in mind for the next time.

If you catch one with antlers, I want to see it in person.

Reflex · 09-02-2008, 08:28 AM

That third one from the left looks like it could go Boone and Crocket! I hope you took extra precaution when caping him out. I don't know how many taxidermists keep frog capes on hand.

LundLover · 09-02-2008, 08:33 AM

Very cool pictures!

tbar · 09-02-2008, 11:06 PM

I agree great pictures...everything besides that ugly purple shirt!

That raises a legal point. According to my 2008 Fishing Regulations booklet, bullfrogs "may be captured only by hand, by the use of a hand net or hook-and-line. Artificial light may be used..." Is it really ethical to pick them up while they're doubled over laughing?
