They scare easy. This is a rather big problem for us. ML, while I agree with your stocking plan, in many cases if lake is shallow that number will not handle it. Many suburban ATL lakes are shallow due to upstream development. we use about 5/acre if possible to control. Back to my point if you simply shot one the others will not come around for awhile at the feed trough. Once they come back shot another, etc. They are extremely intellect (in the fish sense).

Yes if you can get a small one they are tasty, white firm meat. When larger or a common carp no way would I eat one. The big one tasted like dirt.
