Summer is here, I am trying to find some new activities with my family. When I was watching hunting videos, some hunting bullfrog videos came up and I watched it. It seems fine, so I am thinking about to do it myself.
I know Bullfrog is an invasive species in BC, and is on schedule C. I also know there are some bullfrogs in the surrey area, which I can go and take a look. However, there are a couple of question:
1. Should I go there later in the evening? or it doesnt matter what time of the day?
2. How do I kill them? According to what I found, once I catch it, I am not allowed to release it back nor transport them alive. So I guess I will have to kill on site......... The question is HOW? I was thinking using a knife and poke the brain, but some website says I will need to apply benzocaine on the back of the frog first, before killing them. The problem is, if I do that, is the frog leg still edible?
3. Do you guys know any good place to catch bullfrogs? (without a lot of people walking around the trails) I live in Coquitlam. The place I found are in Surrey, a lot of ponds and parks, where people walk on the trails, etc...... It is illegal for me to transport the frogs alive nor to release it back, so I will have to kill it as soon as I catch it. I don't want other people watching me doing that...... Most people are not hunters, they think frogs are cute.........
