Sounds cruel.... unless of course you plan on cooking them frog legs.
Frog gigging is commonly done at night, however it can be done during the day.
Traditionally, flashlights or spotlights are used to locate the frogs as their
eyes reflect the light at night. In addition to help the locating of frogs,
shining a light in their eyes stuns or daze the frogs, and makes it less likely
for the frog to see an approaching hunter, or the incoming gig itself. A four
or five-tined gig is often preferred for frog gigging, as they are normally
wider giving the frog gigger more room for error when thrusting the gig at a
frog. Frog gigs however, traditionally have smaller tines and are generally
smaller overall than gigs used for fish. A fishing license is required in most
states and jurisdictions. Frog gigging regulations are usually found in each
state's hunting and fishing regulations. Although capturing frogs with a net
or clasp pole may be referred to as frog gigging by some, this is incorrect, as
a gig is not being used. Handling frogs with the objective of releasing them
may harm the creature because some chemicals present on the hands can easily be
absorbed through their skin.
I'll stick to turkeys today.....and let the frogs pass on by.
