Wildlife and back countryOn the team since July 202612 storiesbama@sixstarswanted.com

Bama covers the Grassrivers, the Keys, the gators and the long way round, with Red Dead comparisons where they earn their place. Each claim is marked Confirmed, What Red Dead taught us, or My guess.

Like everyone on the site, Bama keeps what Rockstar has said or shown apart from opinion, names the source for every date and number, and never uses a leak or rumour as the only source. See how we label facts.
