So we're here at Enon in Alabama with our good friend TR.
But we're not after hogs tonight, TR we're after something even more ferocious.
That's right.
Great table fair, how about some gigantic bullfrogs.
Gigantic bullfrogs!
Now that sounds very exciting.
I come tooled up with the most ferocious .25 Benjamin Marauder Air Rifle.
Just in case they get nasty.
But what is it you've got just right there?
This is a frog gig.
It's a simple tool.
Primitive, even and I've been using them since I was about ten years old.
So what's the score then? You kind of...
We blind it with our headlamps, we blind these frogs with our headlamps and we ease up in
there and you just take the gig and ease it close to him and you just punch him with it.
Push him to the ground and we'll take him off and next thing he knows, he's smelling
grease fries.
Nice, nice.
So you said we need to get forty sets of legs tonight.
Forty sets of legs, we're gonna have a big frog leg cooking for a lot of the neighbours
and it's something a lot of the older people like to eat but there not able to go out and
get them anymore.
Cool.
So it's like a community service your providing at the same time.
Exactly.
A community supper.
I've got such a warm feeling inside it's unbelievable buddy.
Okay well this is the kind of new to me.
I've killed all manner of other things but giant bull frogs, I think this is my first.
Really, we're going to see a lot of different things.
We're gonna run up on some snakes tonight.
And we'll try and push the non-poisonous ones out of the way.
The poisonous ones we'll probably take on out.
Right ok kool.
So yeah there's plenty out in the dark that are going to bite.
There after the same frogs we are.
Right.
Okay well hopefully we'll get there first.
So TR, thanks very much buddy lead on.
Lets get started.
I cant see... yes it is.
No he isn't... he's still there.
Okay so that's one huge ferocious bullfrog down, thirty nine more to go.
In the daytime he's a dangerous critter for us and ere rough on the dogs too. Yeah.
So we try and take the poisonous snakes out.
Good job.
Thanks.
Thank you.
That's what the Marauder was built for. Is it?
No I don't think so.
It'll do for now.
I tell you that was two clean shots to the head.
So TR, we went out for an epic forty frog lhunt and managed to shoot two, recover
zero.
But we did get a cottonmouth.
That's right.
So that's a pretty different...
Terrible day!
That's what it is.
That's frog gigging at its worst.
But that's what happens when you have the camera with you sometimes.
Im just very fortunate that I've been present at what you said is probably your worst ever
frog gigging experience in history.
I just seem to have this effect on people.
Well you know when you go out and hear forty frogs and you only see two close enough to
shoot and then cottonmouth is the only thing we actually get to the table.
How about that!
That's not good.
It's a complete failure.
So now that we've put so much time and effort into getting the frogs that we didn't get.
What do we do know?
I think it's time to have a beer.
I'm with you buddy.
All right. Thanks very much man.
