Cuddo would be absolutely ideal.
I hope they return to Clarendon County this year to breed again.
We already tried to do a banding program in cooperation with Georgia, Florida, alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Was banding them with color coded tarsal bands and each state had a different color. Louisiana and SC were the only states to actually band more than 5. Program was scrubbed due to lack of participation from other states
When in doubt, shoot him again!
Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!
