A look at this year’s statewide stocking proposals shows it’s not just five middle Georgia lakes that will see a lineside stocking change this year. All the lakes on the Chattahoochee River are on a list to receive striper fingerlings this May, including West Point and Eufaula. Statewide, nine reservoirs will be stocked with stripers…

Producing better deer herds is the main goal. Given this increase in interest and available information on the subject, it is surprising how many food-plot programs consist of…
