Okeetees are definitely NOT extinct in the wild-corns are extremely common in Jasper county, and it would take FAR more than a few folks releasing their hatchlings to make even a tiny change in the physical or genetic makeup of that population.
This is particularly true when you realize that hatchlings experience extremely high mortality prior to achieving breeding size-but even if they did not, a few dozen or a few hundred would have zero effect on a wild population that surely numbers in the (at minimum) tens of thousands.
