Frogs

Started out the season with a eight. Their plentiful, easy to catch, and sure are good.

Anyone else catching any?

Grow, do you ever set up your trail cam on some of those ponds? Get some pics and video?

Not ponds...they are sunken watering holes and this particular one is a bathtub I sunk...it amazes me how many frogs I raise in that thing...hundreds and hundreds actually. I believe it is one reason the turkey hang out down there in mid summer...lol They are all in various stages of growth from tads to two legs then two legs and a tail through to the tiny baby frogs that hop away...there are a dozen or so that hang out around and under the tub, I dug the hole deep enough to set it on cinder blocks. This allows me to empty and clean it before winter.

 

the "Pond" area we have is the spot that is a pond size water source in the spring and heavy rains,but drains to a puddle in the hot summers...We have plans to get a pond dug there because we had... someone years ago...a guy come out and do test holes before we got our tractor...that area has a few feet of grey clay under a thin layer of top soil and is a natural 1/2 acre depression at the head of the gully.

 

All our other water is in the form of full and some part time streams that run down to a swamp...two streams you can see running under the ground...neat when you know where to walk down there. Camp has the same thing..when you are walking down the hill at camp ..any time of year if you stand still you can hear the water flowing under your feet.
