The bill amends Louisiana's regulations regarding frogging at night, specifically addressing the use of firearms during this activity. The revised law allows individuals to take frogs using jacklights, visible lights, and mechanical devices known as frog catchers, as well as devices that puncture the skin, such as gigs and spears.
Significantly, the bill removes the prohibition against carrying or possessing shotguns, rifles, or firearms while hunting frogs at night. This change permits hunters to have firearms on their person during nighttime frogging, thereby altering the previous restrictions in place.
