THE GREAT POND HUNT

[longislandhunter]

Hey Bill,

I truly enjoyed that hunting story, I could almost hear the little bugger croaking.  Sweet kill with a sweet rifle.  I love my 890, great little shooter.  As for the fox, like Gene said, a good head shot with a good hunting pellet will take care of Mr. Fox no problem.    Reading  your hunting post makes me wanna go frog huntin now :)    

cept I'm eatin mine :)

Bill that is a great hunt story.
You should be a sports writer.  You have a knack for that it seems.

I can tell you this, them yankee frogs eat just as good and those down here.  
I have had some from Pennsylvania when I was there.

Great hunt and story.  Thanks for sharing it with us.
I was hanging on every word as you stalked the Fish Killer.

Thanks for the very kind words Gordon,

I just made a big deal abouteverything I did, I tried to make it humorous !

After all, it's just a frog hunt in my back yard, and until some squirrels start coming back to my "out back yard", or unless I get real lucky with that fox, frog is all I have !

Thanks again Gordon !

A target is a target mate. Shooting is what counts. Grape off the vines at 50yrds can be fun aswell.

Thanks for your kind words, Jeff,

I only wanted to remain a hunter, and as of now, it is as close as I get. With luck, I may have an opportunity to wright a real hunting account of the great fox hunt ! If I pray real hard that is !!!

But please don't stop posting your GREAT and Hunting accounts. as I truly enjoy every, un-embellished word that you write ! A truly pure hunting account !

LOL Gordon,

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and can assure you that the frogs you had, weren't from Phila. area !

Thanks for the kind words, Gordon, Each year three or four of these beasties appear in my pond, as if by magic, and begin to eat my fishes, and try to eat my 6 - 9 inch breeders. I also must be vigilant to watch for Cranes and Gray Herons, as they too love my pond fish. Ijust chase them away, and have two bronze, life sizes statues ofHerons thatmake them nervous and confused.I have dispatched over 30 - 40 Raccoons over the last 21 years, but I haven't seen one, or signs of one,in the last three years ! I must be doing a fine job with them. If I keep this up, I'll have another post here.

Thanks again Gordon !

Maybe they were not from that area,

I was at Tobyhanna Army Depot for a couple of years and roamed all over the nearby area.
Rabbits, squirell, birds and even one deer fell prey to my trusty flintlock.
They (Penn), gave me a resident license because I was active military.  
I thought I was close to heaven.  
UNTIL IT CAME WINTER and MORE SNOW. lol.

Snow got deep, I had recently came there from Greenland and Iceland.
Still froze, even today, pore ole South Carolina fellow.

Full moon here, makes me want to go hunting frogs.
I like your great pond hunt.
It is good.
