They breed pretty early, before spring peepers even. Their call kinda sounds like turkeys IMO. They are the only frog found north of the Artic circle.

Gray treefrogs are also another species that come to mind. Most frogs in the U.S. won't kill the predator but may cause burning skin or eye irritation in humans. A fish would probably spit it out but it's not really worth the risk IMO. It's better to know what your dealing with.
That picture is not the frog you are describing. that is the vronze frog, Rana clamitans.
isn't $2 a little much for a feeder?

I would try to collect some of their tadpoles in the spring (or an egg sac) and raise them as feeders. Green frogs are closely related to Bullfrogs and get relatively large (3-4") Never feed toads because their parotoid glands contain bufotoxin.
frogs is very good for diet. just be sure its not infected or whatever.
