Frog season

[bgkyarcher]

Blue herons are frog killers

I believe some kind of spray run off got them on one pond. It's got a lot of cover-weeds, cattails, willow, etc. Normally has a lot of frogs. It's about 2 acres. I went half way around it and never saw or heard a single frog. Somebody had already gigged another pond. Guess they couldn't wait for season to open. One pond had plenty on it, but they were in places I couldn't get to.

Frogs are there, you guys aren't walking enough or looking in the right spots. Who in Frankfort is the frog program director? Obviously need to reduce the limits and season. Could be frog virus also.

We had 5 of us in the buggy tonight. 75 good frogs, but it took 6 hours and 2 dozen ponds. Nothing like the old days. I generally blame coons for everything, and this is no exception.
They're on ice. I'm takin a nap. I'm gettin too old for this shit

There’s a pond across from the house ,I see a crane there a lot ,looks to be catching frogs sometimes

When the turkeys came in that’s when the frog population went to hell - same as the quail.

Not to mention the black hawks.

I haven't hunted them for years but I always liked short HP. A shot to the head scrambles their brain and they juist flatten out.

Frog #s around my area are worse then the turkey #s lol. Plan on going out a few times though anyway.

Yep. Since the herons arrived, only ponds with good cover have any now.

Shorten the season, adjust the bag limits

I'm kind of surprised they haven't adjusted limits. It's been 15 my whole life. I guess not enough people frog any more to matter.
