swam... Then you must try Brett from Texas solution. Consume a six pack of beer, it helps you think like a frog. If you spotlight him he shouldn't be able to see you, but did he hear you? Only my youngest son has been able to catch bullfrogs around here. DH and I caught only one once and it was a female. We were looking for males to cut down on the racket. k30a |

I don't think so,,we made more noise turning the flashlight on,, & while it was on him, deciding what 'we' should do next,, he turned & swam away. my son-in-law wanted to get the bbgun,, but I am sure it is NOT good for a liner!! & I am sure sneaking up on him, you can't be silent! arrghhhhhhh... but we see him all day long, swimming around & hovering out of reach,, they do something different at night? ( of course why would he want to leave the pond,, sooo nice & tasty ready-to-eat meals there! Muffin now knows why at our old house we never had babies around,,,,,,, bullfrogs got 'em!!

they
do something different at night? they hunt at night. during the day the mostly doze and soak up rays - important for their metabolism as they need heat in order to function and why in the winter they are not active, all temperature driven. If you get a cold snap he might slow down a bit for you. k30a |

I'm picturing muffin and DH floating ice blocks in her pond to cool it enough to slow down that frog. ;-) -- zookeeper |

When I was a kid ....... many years ago and before political
correctness ..... we used to catch bull frogs with long fishing poles and trout flies. Dangle the fly in front of the frog and gulp. Don't be surprised at the god-awful sound they make when you grab them. Your neighbors may think you are slaughtering cattle. Now that I am older ........ not necessarily wiser ...... it doesn't seem like the most humane thing to do, but it did work and we never had one swallow the hook. Always hooked in the very edge of lip. I hope this post does not offend anyone. It just depends on how desperate you are to cull your bull frog herd. |

I guess it really depends on the point of view. How humane is it to feed
extra fish to bigger fish. Getting eaten alive can't be fun for the little guys. However it is the way nature works. Only humans try to save every life. Guppies will live birth their babies then turn around and eat them. That's gotta be the ultimate in recycling! "Hank Pagel" wrote in message ...

They are, indeed, bullfrogs. They can be "trapped". Use short pieces
(12-18") of 4" diameter PVC piping. Cap one end, and place in about 1" of water (set it on a block, etc.), in or near vegetation if possible. Make sure the open end faces the pond, and is in a position that is easy for you to place a net over. Frogs adore cover, and will use the pipe for hiding during the day.
