I live in southern GA. All my life I've seen gar in a "swamp" near my home. Mostly longnose gar. But what others could be found in southern GA? I was especially interested in a fla/spotted natural range, as well as shortnose?
Also, any suggestions on harvesting wild gar with nets. What time of year is best to find YOY gar? I don't do the hook thing with possible pets. Thanks.
 
AWESOME Reference!!! Thanks Polypterus! That is one really cool site.

wont let me view it from work! :irked:

that's odd, it's not what is normally deemed a "questionable site" by most work systems, but i guess every system is different.

it's definitely a useful tool, i used a couple of their maps for a recent presentation on gar ecology. with what little is known about most gar species, it's good to have some of these references for their coarse distributions--

make sure you allow cookies and also disable any "peer guardian" software. I disabled mine and it finally worked.

Just go to the homepage and do a search http://www.natureserve.org/ Tons of coarse data on here once one gets how to use it...

...that worked for me! very cool! i'll look at it more closely when i get the chance.
