Most hunters picked for one of the Ossabaw Island quota deer hunts this season found the hunting tougher than normal, at least compared to the heyday for high hunter-success rates in the late 1990s.

The results of the first deer hunt at Hard Labor Creek State Park are in, and these results are both stunning and depressing. The results are simple.

These stripers are reared in hatcheries and released in freshwater lakes, where they feed on shad and grow to a size equal to any native striper found in saltwater.
