When we realize that my favorite brook trout spot has been spoiled, we turn out sights on bullfrogs and decide as the night falls to go after them. We cook the bullfrogs on a rock primitively and the meat is quite good.

You still have to react smoothly and precisely or the frogs will scatter. We mostly used the blunt end of the paddle to knock the frogs out. You can easily use a bow and arrow, air rifle, pellet gun, or slingshot. You can even buy special frog gigs that do a great job on frogs. Anything will do really, even a big rock. Bullfrogs are easy to track down and if you get them at the end of the mating season, the males will alert you of their location. The others can be shinned with a bright light and their eyes will glow. If you are not careful while bull frog hunting, you will spook them and they will go under water for a while or duck into cover. Thankfully bull frogs forget quick enough and will come back up from underwater and do their calls again. The only real edible part of the frog are it s legs. We cleaned the bull frogs for eating by cutting off the front half and then just cooking on a rock with the skin on. The skin peels off right after it is cooked. The bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus or Rana catesbeiana), is olive green back with a whitish belly spotted with yellow or grey. The upper lip is often bright green and males have yellow throats. Bullfrogs live in large, permanent water bodies, such as swamps, ponds, and lakes, where it is usually found along the water s edge. The male bullfrog defends a territory during the breeding season. His call is reminiscent of the roar of a bull, which gives the frog its common name. The bullfrog is harvested for use as food in North America, but rarely in Canada making it very abundant. Check local regulations for open seasons. The legs of the bullfrog are where most of the edible portions come from. The meat tastes very much like tough chicken. Some people will keep bullfrogs as pets.
