Tom Fallucca wrapped up the Labor weekend in proper style: prepping for deer hunting season, hunting doves and frogging.

“Yeah, it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year,” he messaged. “Sooo much work, but still some time left for hunting and frogging.”

For the non-hunters, there is pre-season work for deer hunting. They still found time to do frogging at a farm pond.

“RC and frog legs really hit the spot after doing tree stands and trimming lanes all day in the sun,” Fallucca messaged.

This would be the first Frog of the Week, We’ll see if others come. I enjoyed the story that Facculla sent enough to at least try Frog of the Week at least once.
