Event: Youth Frog Gigging Workshop

Come join us for a great small game hunting experience! This Bullfrog Gigging Workshop is for youth ages 10-17 and will include an evening frog hunt with gigs as well as topics covering the habitat and biology of frogs, safety while in the field, care and cleaning of the game, and legal methods of harvesting frogs. Parents/guardians must stay at the program with the participants. Dinner will be provided and will include a sample of frog legs.

NOTE: A hunting license is required for participants 12 years and older. Participants that do not have a hunting license may hunt with an apprentice license within arm’s reach of the Mentor/Instructor.

The workshop portion will take place at DWR's Region 1 Office conference room and the hunt (gigging) portion will take place just down the road at the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery. Rubber boots are recommended as feet will get wet! This is a partnership program between the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, The Luck Association, and the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery.
