Frog gigging season opens June 15
If you’re looking for an outside-of-the-box hunt, consider visiting a local pond or wetland for a frog hunt, or come to the annual frog gigging night at Goose Pond FWA June 21. Frog hunting season runs from June 15, 2024 – April 30, 2025, and hunters can harvest the American bullfrog and green frog. The bag limit is 25 frogs per day with a possession limit of 50 frogs, and any combination of bullfrogs or green frogs maybe be used to reach these bag and harvest limits.
Information on identifying these frog species can be found on our herpetology program website.
For an introduction to cooking frogs, check out our YouTube channel for a tasty Creole-style frog leg recipe.

I had frog legs at a local joint the day I killed my turkey. They were by far the best I have ever had. If I could stay up at night I may give it a go but probably not!

We used to do a john boat in the cow stock ponds in Freedom one guy paddling one guy on the lamp and a gig guy in front at the the white river bottoms. Always some joker wants to hand them waste of time if you want them stick them. Few beverages were had. Never used a gun

Always some joker wants to hand them waste of time if you want them stick them. Few beverages were had. Never used a gun I would agree, catching by hand is a waste of time, if I'm going to be up that late chasing those dang things I'm there to get as many as I can as fast as I can. Grabbing them with my hands puts the advantage on their side! I'm not there for that lol!
