![froggy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS2BLGxnrExrA4jUxawxpSjmSHn5c2ykecKWDYjov7JZV/froggy.jpg) What's up guys and you've read it right! this blog is all about Farm Frog Hunting! I just want to share to you my adventure that is really fun and exciting. I just finished my internship and I think there's no chance that I will be having a summer escapade this remaining days of my short vacation (since my class will start on June 13) on beautiful beaches and resort. So I think of something amazing that I can still do aside from going to beach. Then I recall the yearly tradition and has been part of our culture done over the years (which I almost missed, I have lots of stuff running on my head, hays). And luckily this is the best time in doing this thing in our place, which is the "Farm Frog Hunting".

These frogs are 100% edible, clean and doesn't contain any toxins, poisonous or what. This may sound very exotic thing to you, you may say like, seriously bruh? I tell you brother and sister, we've been doing this for decades and this tradition is passed on generations it's part of our culture and we were proud of it. And I think there's nothing wrong about it. If Thailand has its exotic grilled scorpions, tarantulas, cultured worms and etc. And we also have this Farm Frog delicacies which can be done in Stake, fried, curry etc. I just want you to be open minded and respect different culture you may encounter. So okay, moving on, before I'll introduce it to you, I'll introduce my hometown to you first. [Image Source](https://livingstain.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/bakasyon/) # About My Hometown

Braulio E. Dujali is located in Mindanao, and it is in the province's second political district. It is bounded in the north by the Municipality of Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte to the west, Carmen & Panabo City to the south and Tagum City to the east. Significant to economic development of Braulio E. Dujali are TADECO company and local businessman engaged in banana based commercial production successfully operating in the municipality. Rice production also contributes to the economic development of the municipality. Just a little throwback, even though I had my studies (up to now) to the city area the memories and experience as kid will always be in my heart and mind. I still remember the days I spent with my cousins and childhood friends, where we make our own kite made from coconut sweep and plastic cellophane. And we fly it to the rice field dancing in the winds, while the land owner is harvesting their golden rice field. The faces filled with such joy and happiness is still on my memories, that every time I recall them, I will just find myself smiling. # About Farm Frog Hunting To give you an idea about Farm frog hunting, in our own dialect we call the frog "palakang bukid", palaka (frog), bukid (farm). These frogs grows and most likely to live on grassy and swampy areas. And the rice fields is the perfect place for them to multiply and grow, but not as often. Because there are three (3) phases and stages that the rice field must undergo. There are times that the land must be soft and swampy, which is the time for the farmers to plant the rice seeds. After that, for 3 months onward the rice is already in gold color and is ready to be harvest, and the land that time the land is dry, not that dry but still have that moist inside. Next phase is the preparation of the land. It is the time where the land is being cultivated and conditioned so that it will be ready to be planted by new rice plant again. After the harvest, farmers let the land rest for a month, and there are cases that the those rice plant after being cutted during the harvest tend to grow new grains again, but not as much it's first production. And it is also the time where the "Farm Frogs" starts to multiply because the farmers will open the drainage system so that water will reach the land and make it soft moist, for it to be prepared for the cultivation of land. And like I've said earlier, it is the perfect time for the "farm frogs to multiply and grow their population. So basically the phases are "CULTIVATING", "PLANTING AND CONDITIONING", then "HARVESTING". And it's the time where "Farm Frogs" are abundant to our hometown, which is in the Cultivation phase. Where they multiply and hide from the cutted rice plant, and for one month they can grow maturely and ready to be harvested by "Frog Hunters" I'll just call them that, I mean everyone can do that. As I can recall I've started doing when I was like 8-9 years old together with my older cousins. >So I think you're quite excited how are we doing it. But first let me show you the illustrations I've made to explain and teach to you how to catch from frogs. The most important thing required here is your full attention and attention because this thing is no joke, I mean this could be fun but you would end up being disappointed going home without a catch. Because you do this at night, where your sight is limited and you will have lots of blind spots, that's why you need to be attentive. Also in doing this, you need to put a lot of effort because this frogs are very agile, quick, and sneaky, with just a blink of an eye, you've already loose your prey. And if you ask me why the heck I know these things? Because simple my dad is farmer and I'm proud to say I'm a farmer's son and there's a lot of thing I learn from dad. I don't want to get emotional right now, haha, so let move on! # The Art of Hunting So lets start. The main concept here in hunting and catching these frogs we will be using a light to block their eyesight. Making them them stunned and vulnerable. This can be done using flash lights (specially those with strong and dense light) In doing this you need to move your light left and right, in any direction along your path. You must very careful and attentive, because if you don't put attention to those you will end up passing all of them along the way. Because sometimes it's hard to recognize farm frogs, they seem to take camouflage on the ground with the color of their skin which is brown and green. If you won't pay attention you would just passed every frogs on your way, and they will end up laughing at you! haha. ### So check these quick simple Illustration to show you.
>First, You need to search intently and thoroughly, use your full focus on finding these frog from the mud or behind the rice plant or grass, try to move your flash light 180 degrees for higher chances of finding one ![frogggy.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRbBVwLxf7LvogVKrzV1PxcvTtCoyaZXpNj6pgdNL6LPa/frogggy.png) >If you found one, don't let it get away, stay with it, focus the light to it. slowly approach the frog ![frogggy-1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQiHUS9o3TwLcH3AHroPiiCpWEQrUvApDfPB2MnxuBt2T/frogggy-1.png) >As I've said earlier, the light coming from the flashlight will block the Frog's eyesight making them to freeze and stay on their feet. It's your best chance catch them with your bare hands. Remember to stay low, raise your hands 60-90 degree and then make sure to calculate the moment you put down your palms it will reach and caught your target. Because it's more effective if the action is done from above because it lessens the anticipation of the from to react. Just make a quick move and don't panic ![frogggy-2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXB92sGY2NWdQXV9J5te4cCX2MFRnsTQLFHWE55KaZe2z/frogggy-2.png)
### So I hope you already get that illustrations, lets move on, and now, I've tried my best to document or at least show you the process I've made in hunting and catching a farm frogs through series of photos. And this is ain't an easy task for me, I hope you will all enjoy it! >First I've prepared the two most essential tools in catching the frogs, first I've charge my flashlight and my phone (for documenting) ![IMG_20180605_192054.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc2KAYxHUyUEWUayJSmGhRZtPr8gKwTwmfRkeYZSv9ZtN/IMG_20180605_192054.jpg) >Then I've used the old 1 plastic water gallon, this will serve as a container of captured frogs. (Recycling baby!) ![IMG_20180605_192113.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmckSnD5WrqRVATyJ59Hufcd9gqBfGiwryHYMWwVju7GVV/IMG_20180605_192113.jpg) >together with my cousin we've walked around a 150 meter to reach the rice field ( it's not hat far away from our home) ![IMG_20180606_185634.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYERqYi3nKa4L6EKYoZLWhv9tWjMcej42HPAfbdAC57eP/IMG_20180606_185634.jpg) >After a semi-long walk we've reach the rice field. Take a look at these, just bare with my blur shots it's really heard to make a clear shot on my phone this time, I don't have much fixing the focus of my camera. ![IMG_20180606_190014.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdSmSR7ccvqYmyaixf2mzWrpHQcM1Q5BT5KvQmmHRhw5X/IMG_20180606_190014.jpg) >check this muddy pathway right here ![IMG_20180606_191039.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQTPuQhCDJzyghobLGCpYzXUTH5oiqdRgsLnRqvkz8oEG/IMG_20180606_191039.jpg) >and there's also a dried one, we call this way "Kahon", it's where the farmers, pass when cultivating their lands ![IMG_20180606_191232.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdvLdGpWkdpuD55TEBM1hMvq261pKLfHBuQqHQ3wpSbif/IMG_20180606_191232.jpg) >then, I've walked out of the pathway and start to set my feet on ground, on the muddy ground and start searching ![IMG_20180606_190233.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQntqD8R1DtE4aoPAC4PPVy4dMCMDnprb3SxbSZtNjZWU/IMG_20180606_190233.jpg) >Let the search begin! ![IMG_20180606_190005.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUiDPX3M9vYw1vz2Cyjo5WuJ7tE7kMt5apKYqT1WWKsjW/IMG_20180606_190005.jpg) ![IMG_20180606_194604.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVNJw3jEJMd6KKevnYz9CVnzWPu9fwLLa2DB98Wb1tkdQ/IMG_20180606_194604.jpg) >Upon searching there are also times that you can encounter different things living in this ecosystem like, shells, beetles, lots of insects, and etc. And the most hated thing I don't want to encounter is a snake also looking for a catch, big frogs! ohhh! Someone's hungry too! ![IMG_20180606_191435.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWpgp5obT4ojH95Ttnb7En9nWYyMVKmKf4Z6vK3SyenbN/IMG_20180606_191435.jpg) >And sometimes I get too excited but end up being disappointed because there are also some frogs here, another kind of species, which is not edible and not the one we're looking for. These frogs are common everywhere here in the Philippines ![IMG_20180606_190744.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP6goVniM8P8PRmRz1QguEBbUyt7Ku9Vu87xjYt9VahMA/IMG_20180606_190744.jpg) >This quest is also very exhausting, because you are walking in the mud, meaning you need to exert more effort in lifting your knees and feet on this muddy ground. Check this GIF right here to give you a clearer vision of how we are doing it. ![20180608_002538.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUX37JPuWzEYPaHmsdfzKdxH2oCChYK5ckV4qJCpSFW7k/20180608_002538.gif) >That is my cousin on the left and we met another "Frog hunter" (right) that night, we just greet each other and asked how many did we caught. Too bad, the guy we've met along the way told us that we're quite late and many had passed and caught lots of frogs on that area we are searching. But still we're still hopeful to find some at least. ![IMG_20180606_202023.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUfWyTMNagj4bHc6oPaA5o5J93zWDALV8HA9QojnR9trg/IMG_20180606_202023.jpg) >After 30 minute of searching I finally found one! I mean not my soulmate, a frog! yeah a frog. I caught him hiding on grass! Check this fella out here, in catching these frogs, you need also to really be vigilant and using the ears intently to here the possible splash of frogs when they take the leap/hop getting away from you. Another thing/tip that can help your eyesight in finding one, is checking for the reflection of light made by their eyes when you point the flash light. ![IMG_20180606_200001.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme9QcNQqCYsf6753PLVEPYUeHfHDLCjMuLSL3hpCAeife/IMG_20180606_200001.jpg) >Then Opened my container and put the frog on it ![IMG_20180606_195053.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRoHgKRMNYEzrQQAKLH9tE6k4rvyJwotHi1r48j1k79Vf/IMG_20180606_195053.jpg) >You won't be alone soon buddy ![IMG_20180606_195122.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPqT933Hxo6GLNEXPDGWxDW6VUS6fo8uNFgghwzd2jUpE/IMG_20180606_195122.jpg) >As much as I've wanted to, I can't show you the whole and live process of doing it, since no one will hold my phone and document everything, another things is, it's little bit rainy that time, it's so slippery, I just can't take the risk of loosing my phone, slipping with my hands and fall from that muddy ground. I'ts really hard to have a phone nowadays haha. I hope you'll visualize everything with the explanation and illustration I've showed you earlier. After 5 min, I've caught another one. ![IMG_20180606_195018.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW8xAL2TPsGD3mkPH77M4PcgmQzBGz2tte81eHUF96M8u/IMG_20180606_195018.jpg) >And another one ![IMG_20180606_195024.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeFy1Ab3N62TnqrYrt2RKdQWeJgMVcdY9DSSJ7oPrNh9L/IMG_20180606_195024.jpg) >After almost three hours of find and searching, we decided to go home, and I have the same number of catch the same as my cousin. This is not the expected catch, we expected that we will be filling the plastic container, but time is not on our hands but still we're happy, at least we caught some. ![IMG_20180606_210212.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNc3YF8d3Z877w21ZjZxArWG8WZYFPbExCgsm8tUcVmyh/IMG_20180606_210212.jpg) >Take a look at it, sorry if I can't document everything because its easy to document this thing we are having, especially when you're alone, I'm with my cousin but he also had his own business and I can't just ask him to film me till the end. And there are chances that my catch will slip away if won't hurry I hope you get my point guys. >This one is my cousin's quest's reesult haha ![IMG_20180606_210255.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ5pttmmJyJBZJ4H8iaFsXaDaY8Pw2vvLqnQpb3cgZCkZ/IMG_20180606_210255.jpg) >and this one is mine ![IMG_20180606_210246.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmY2P1QLbEiNvkpYisJupem2Z9VX9nAju71Qbr5UpfnCZw/IMG_20180606_210246.jpg) ![IMG_20180606_210305.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmejWenwHqSAfbYoP79xKB89Q1v9cZsLZhuDH8cCgvak8j/IMG_20180606_210305.jpg)
>after that, I start to skin the "farm frogs", and I won't be sharing the process of it to all of you, because some can't take it. In skinning the frogs you need knife and wood ash, or anything that can prevent things from being slippery. And the one I'm using a wood ash. ![IMG_20180606_211406.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZUpudYVTxWQvbiZsyntqCG6YY4iy1XrrL3x2tEfJ4B6K/IMG_20180606_211406.jpg) >in doing it, you should make a clean nice cut on frogs back (near from the head). Then dip your index and thumb finger on the ashes so that the moment you touch the frog's skin it won't be that slippery. After that, try to pull the skin from the cut you make behind his head, until you pull everything until is feet. I hope you get that one. then remove the internal organs and fingers on it's hands and feet. ![IMG_20180606_214209.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZDzS9L2DZoLuJfRnFkKK85JWyikh97kYp8SwFnkEE7Vx/IMG_20180606_214209.jpg) >Then make sure to rinse and wash it with clean water ![IMG_20180606_214721.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTm1go3MovgLwySJsjoxorm7hjrxQ68QymvnNQRG9AFhh/IMG_20180606_214721.jpg) >With this one, I think I've washed like ten times, continue to wash it thoroughly until water becomes crystal clear together with the frog meat, like this one. ![IMG_20180606_220922.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSD58dn2Xxh8JCsBxCUv5DpCS211kyT1JKzQbyQGfHpqn/IMG_20180606_220922.jpg) >After that, it's ready to be placed on the fridge, or you can cook it directly. In my case, everyone on our home is already done eating so I've decided to marinate this one and prepare it for tomorrow morning. So I've chopped some **wild garlic**, these one's are small and contains more aroma than the usual garlic, then add some **laurel leaves**, poured right amount of **soy sauce** and lastly poured** some vinegar ** ![IMG_20180607_113504.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma7n9dG9gAYWmBrA1HQMnWvw9noTzNUMUb7Mdp1LEobdB/IMG_20180607_113504.jpg) ![IMG_20180607_113550.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbJ8ZG5eCpM8xXumrAK1RqBLyjuh1sc4NBxtQwj6MpMaY/IMG_20180607_113550.jpg) ![IMG_20180607_113715.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9RUMMdmhiyrXpGijarLtvtf7evWLiPFg2KKdknMJvQX/IMG_20180607_113715.jpg) ![IMG_20180607_113730.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaWp3sCGhtNitNPxcDpDtNuZXbqJBRdbed5kaXrwn2bLR/IMG_20180607_113730.jpg) >Then I've placed it on the fridge ![IMG_20180606_221036.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma8pQdxRF1Akg58trwtiSz7WfK84QkefRRZXrkoy1TUSb/IMG_20180606_221036.jpg) >Btw, just to share someting, Ice cream packaging here from the Philippines is quite good, the plastic container of those yummy ice cream is quite durable. I don't know if other household are doing this, but on our house, we don't just throw away those Ice cream plastic container. We wash them let it dry and used them again as a container when there's a food, meat, fish, and etc, that will be placed on the fridge, our own way of recycling things. just our own little own way to contribute to our environment. Check this Ice cream containers haha! ![IMG_20180606_221059.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZAnXL8xtadSrpHQ491DfUEBaD6RsevmKqQ1Kd1vzXtQu/IMG_20180606_221059.jpg)

### I got lazy, I've planned to cook it for lunch, but ended up cooking it on dinner. >Here's the process of how I cook the frog meat.

I know everyone is also doing this on the neighboring town, mostly and particularly on Rural Areas. What I'm after here is, I want here is to share and introduce this rich culture and tradition that had been passed from generation to generation to people that who don't have an idea what it is all about, and is new to this kind of exotic delicacy. Because recently, I've posted some of my pictures on other social media account of me catching these frogs. And the response is quite amazing because mostly of my friends that lived on the cities and is not familiar of this culture send some message and asked me questions like, like "Really? all those frogs are edible?", "how do you catch that? What does it tastes like, questions like that. That's what led me in creating this blog, I'm not that very good writer, English is not my mother tongue, but I did try my best to explain everything I can for you to know and explore our rich and amazing culture. As long as we have these healthy and well cultivated land, their will be always a place for this amazing "Farm Frogs" to grow and multiply. >Just me asking my younger sister to take a photo of me after going to the farm, haha ![IMG_20180606_210657.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPpHdZ6kMXzkDphGU8TGwRA7227qGUz5pCJhWisbfAQ7K/IMG_20180606_210657.jpg) btw here's the process of the illustrations I've made, done in Adobe Illustrator ![1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYkrcxdRVpfyCiWhMgfeqHgqcPBYdFft4ZS2pR1Baxr3Z/1.png) ![2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdaxxjbR2whAPrcaRw7DdkmvsDLHUjxVjQQrtJRaVUyAj/2.png) ![3.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZveKFhPbJdTDuRWu9YF3ZX5voHqCCTzgUSt128xWoMQC/3.png) # And that's it! thanks for checking my blog, and being with me till the end of this post, hope you've learned something, feel free to leave some comment below, I'll be waiting for that! thanks again!
