Hallo Bowhunters!
How do you cook Frogs? I have never heard about it. I am very interested in it because here in Germany Bowhunting is not allowed!["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
. But in my backyard I hafe a little swamp where I could go Frog- hunting in the Sommer. I think it culd be very much fun especially when I hafe some good recipes.
Thank you very much!

Remove the skin from the legs, chill in the fridge, dry them on a papertowel, dip in an wash of 1egg beaten and a 1/4 cup of beer then roll in flour (or light cornmeal) seasoned with pepper, garlic powder, salt (whatever your favorite spices are), into a pan with hot olive oil till golden brown. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :thumbsup:

I am not sure what kind of frogs you have in Barvaria. Our frogs here in the USA are called "Bull Frogs" and are largest of our many species of frogs.If you have frogs that have legs as big as a small chicken, you are in business. Dredge them in flour and fry them like chicken. It is hard to beat!

Thank you very much for the replys!
Ooh....that is a problem. Bavarian frogs are only big as a tomatoe. I can't wait to go "real" hunting. I will make my german hunting- license next jear in April. What is the requirement for a german Bowhunter like me, to hunt in the USA? Im only interested in small game and I cant wait till I hafe shoot my first squirrel. I just love this little "nut-eaters"

Guten Morgen in Deutschland. Our bullfrogs are not native to North America, but are transplants from Africa that have spread across the continent. Maybe they are present in parts of Europe, too. What kind of frogs do they eat in France?
As to bowhunting here in the USA, each state has its own rules. In most cases you must have a hunter safety card to get a license if under age 16 or 18 (varies). In many states you can hunt unprotected non-game species with no license. Let us know where in the U.S. you want to hunt, and we can direct you to the right set of game regulations.
Oddly, here in Oregon we have strict seasons and bag limits for gray squirrels, but no rules at all on hunting rabbits.

Bill, I am not aware of the introduced frogs from Africa. I have seen African Bullfrogs and they were huge two feet long and some even longer.Is this the size of the frogs you mentioned that were transplanted in your area?..... We only have the "American Bullfrog" here in the eastern part of our country.It is the only native frog I know of that is hunted for food.

Matt: You are absolutely correct. American bullfrogs are non-native to Oregon, and were introduced here in the 1920s to supply the restaurant trade. They are persona non grata, as they dine on diminishing numbers of our native frogs and on the young of the Western pond turtle, also vanishing here in Oregon. Don't know where I picked up the misinfo on the African connection.
