There are still frogs in Kentucky?
Compared with even a few decades ago, they seem to be pretty much
eradicated altogether. I don't mean this as a criticism of
frog-gigging, but something sure seems to have all but eliminated
frogs.
I can remember fishing and camping as a kid, and hearing the frogs
roar. The last time I camped along a creek in central KY, the the
complete absence of frog noise was startling. I remember that it was
Memorial Day weekend, and we speculated that perhaps it was still too
early in the year for the appearance of frogs. But their COMPLETE
absence was puzzling.
