Some of my favorite summertime memories are of my cousin and me, sitting on the pond bank, shooting frogs with our pellet guns. He was pretty good at it, and would wait for them to get back along the bank, down from him, then call his shot; eye, eardrum, whatever. I could hit them, but usually I would do it when they poked their heads out of the water, then wade in and get 'em. We had lots of frog legs for quite a few summers when I was a kid doing that.
Anyway, I was just looking over the hunting regs, and discovered, that it is actually illegal. The only way you can legally shoot frogs is with .22lr shotshells. Let me tell you, I tried it that way once and didn't kill anything. I know its not likely that the DNR spends any resources looking for this type of problem, but I found it kinda funny. Also, does anyone have any idea on why it would be against the law anyway?
