Huck764 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Friend and I are wanting to hunt frogs this summer, but we don't really know where we could hunt them. We live in the northern part of WMU82. http://www.ofah.org/zonej/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/mnr_wmu82a_pdf.pdf (WMU82 map). One of the reasons why we want to hunt frogs is because they taste damn good and it's like a treat, as well as not having any luck catching fish (worth keeping) last summer. Also, another question: I emailed the MNR a few days ago, and they said you can ONLY hunt Bullfrogs, but yet, another friend of mine who worked for the MNR years ago said you can also catch Leopard Frogs. It stated on their regulations that you can also hunt Leopard Frogs, so I don't know why the person from the MNR is saying something different. Maybe they changed it? :/ Perhaps you guys can clear this up for me, because most of you probably know more about it than I do. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.
grimsbylander Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 There's a golf course near West Monroe LA that's has a bunch.
dave524 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 I think I saw just recently that they stopped allowing the harvest of turtles and frogs . I may be mistaken, it happens .
Huck764 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Posted June 12, 2017 @Dave524 I Googled it, and t's only Snapping Turtles, so I'm still good. Thanks for letting me know that. Now, I know something new, lol
Weeds Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 In these parts you find loads of them in just about every road side ditch or culvert with a bit of water in it. i would've thought that would be your best bet for catching them as you could kind of chase them down, as opposed to a pond, marsh or bigger body of water where they can just swim away from you.
John Bacon Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 It stated on their regulations that you can also hunt Leopard Frogs, so I don't know why the person from the MNR is saying something different. Maybe they changed it? I am pretty sure that leopard frogs are the only ones that you are allowed to use for bait. I am not sure if you are allowed to eat them. So which species you are allowed to hunt may depend on whether you plan to eat them or use them as bait.
singingdog Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Bullfrogs are in decline in Ontario, mostly due to harvesting. Maybe some chicken nuggets?
Garnet Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 I don't know the rules but a fly swatter makes catching leopard frogs easy.
Huck764 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Posted June 12, 2017 @JohnBacon Well, that seems kind of stupid doesn't it? Whether I eat them or use them as bait, they're going to die either way. They go into a fish's stomach, so why can't they go into mine? lol
Rattletrap2 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 2017 General Fishing regulations: Page 10 "Only Northern leopard frogs may be captured or used as bait" Limit is 12 Must have a valid recreational fishing license 2017 General Hunting regulations: Game Amphibians and ReptilesBullfrogs may be taken under the authority of a valid sportor conservation fishing licence. No commercial harvest ofbullfrogs is permitted.No firearm other than a bow (compound, recurve, long) orcrossbow may be used to take bullfrogs. A person may takebullfrogs at night without a firearm and a person may shine alight for that purpose. See the Ontario Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary atontario.ca/fishing for additional information about the captureand use of frogs for bait.NOTE: Generally, it is illegal to harvest frogs inprovincial parks or Crown Game Preserves.Snapping Turtle as Special Concern SpeciesThe snapping turtle is listed as special concern under Ontario’sEndangered Species Act, 2007, and the federal Species at RiskAct, 2002.

I have actually eaten many of frog legs and enjoyed them immensely! These were in the Southern United States where they are plentiful. I also enjoy Crawfish, but up here.....well, we have to make do with chicken and maybe imported shrimp!
Huck764 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) "Only Northern leopard frogs may be captured or used as bait" Conservation Officer won't know the difference. "Personally, I'm thinking chicken nuggets might be a better alternative!" Chicken nuggets? Really? Not one of you could answer my question of good frog hunting locations in the part of Ontario where I live, instead you recommend me f**cking chicken nuggets, using a f**king fly swatter to catch frogs, which is one of the most stupid things I've read on the Internet, and recommending me a place in an other country. This is pathetic. Oh well... I'll ask somewhere else that doesn't have people as brain-dead retarded as you guys. Edited June 14, 2017 by Huck764

fishindevil Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 go troll another board huck.....don't let the door hit you on the way out......3,2,1,..........
Garnet Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 I caught thousands of bait frogs with a fly swatter. Maybe you should listen.
dave524 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 I caught thousands of bait frogs with a fly swatter. Maybe you should listen. Me too, early in the morning in the grass around the cottage, it stuns them for a moment allowing you to pick them up.
buick14 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 Hey Huck, Why don't you stick to chicken nuggets instead ? I must have forgot your response, after all i'm brain dead Anyhow, when you sit down beside the marsh to enjoy your grimey little frog legs, be careful not to lose the only tooth you have left : you'll need that to open your beer can ! Best advice you will ever get. Sincerely , Mark
grimsbylander Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 Well Huck, you and ur brotha have a gud time frog huntin and y'all have fun now y'hear??
buick14 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 ^^^ ahahahahahaha that's exactly what I pictured !
akaShag Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 I don't know about WMU 82, up the Bruce, but around here the best time to get frogs is on a rainy night back of Verona, there are hundreds of them on the road. Some are not so thick any more, but the ones that only got run over once are still pretty good. Best frog legs I ever ate were in Algonquin Park around 1982, caught them with my hands. Second best were frozen frog legs I bought in a grocery store in Westport Ontario and I believe they were a product of Vietnam. Like these ones:https://www.wagjag.com/deal/toronto/30-off-frogs-legs But anyways, having eaten a lot of frog legs from frogs I personally caught, I can say with 100% conviction that it is a heck of a lot easier (and cheaper) to buy the frozen product. JMOYMV and BTW Huck, being an ignorant prick on here is not a good way to make friends and influence people. Just sayin'
buick14 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 ^^^ lol well put. I especially enjoy the last paragraph!
Old Ironmaker Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 Where Huck lives when you get a divorce you still love your ex no matter what. Because your sista is still ya sista. Please don't leave the site dear Huck. I need a good laugh once and a while. As far as frogs they sure taste good, just the legs not the cheeks.
aplumma Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 Well with so many rules broken you are now on modQ Huck764. Sorry it did not work out. Art Owner
