That looks about the size of the one that used to be in a large bottle in the Calen pub about 30 odd years ago.

Looks like you would need about a 2-wood for that one. It would make a mess of my 3-iron !!

If they get any bigger they will have to redesign the bullbar to be a toadbar! That's a bloody huge specimen.

I was thinking more along the lines of a crochet mallet.

I believe thay are classified as a noxious pest, and as such are not protected anywhere.
The problem is that just killing doesn't solve the problem, you also need to remove the remains to protect the scavengers.

Ibises were doing it at Baffle Creek in 1986/7. Used to watch them in the orchard, turning them over, and tucking in.

I've seen crows in our street tucking into toads, though I haven't seen them tackle a live one, only road/golf club kill.

I see it occasionally up here. There are actually 2 poison sacks just under the skin on the toads back. Somehow the crows know this and thats why they flip them over when they eat them.
