Context matters
Better questions.
Not false certainty.
A missing report is a gap, not a zero. Each collection keeps its source dates, reporting units and limits visible. Compare similar records within a source, not raw totals between states.
Historical harvest does not establish current access, boundaries, weather or hunting rules. Review the official sources and current season information before heading out.
