Survey will be taken for sure~!

Though I would like to see money go to PEOPLE first, Atractosteus spatula, is an AMAZING annimal. I just hope the .gov doesnt do what it usually does and spends WAY too much money on a simple project. I could order a thousand lot of gator juvis for around $7-10ea and I am sure they can get them alot cheaper. I just dont want to see them spending $100,000 on something like this.

I also hope they dont allow bowfishing for these ancient beasts. I am all for bowfishing for rough fish but nothing peeves me off more then a bow "angler" stalking an 8ft 50-60year old animal that still has another 50+ years in her, in 2ft of water just to kill and use it for fertilizer. Wouldnt catching one on rod and reel with a C&R be more fun anyhow?

Ive been folowing a similiar restocking initiative in MO with gator gar and a good friend of mine shocked the area for a survey. Sadly even the giant gator gar couldnt compete with other natives and project isnt doing so well so far.
