The 2024–25 rice field daily summary (page 3) and species table (page 5) disagree. November 24 is 0 in the daily summary and 1 in the species total; November 26 is 1 in the daily summary and 0 in the species total. Both seasonal totals are 57. The two day-level goose values remain null in the public compilation. Duck counts are unaffected. The species matrix is not published.
Page 3’s footnote identifies January 22, 2025 as a storm cancellation and January 24 as a rescheduled no-show with blank measures. Page 5 prints zero harvest totals on January 22 without a hunter count. Neither is treated as an observed rice hunt with measurable effort.
WMA bird harvest 2023-2026.xlsx, report SCP0001, Waterfowl category, September 2023–March 2026. CSV row and column positions identify original cells; app plus paper counts reconcile to totals for all 64 areas.
“People checked” is not a verified hunter-visit denominator. These aggregates cannot be split into dates or seasons, interpreted as duck-only counts, or added to White Lake daily totals.
