Why there is no species breakdown yet
5 Minnesota outfitters publish a price we can read and cite, which is enough to say what a hunt costs state-wide but not enough to split it by species: no single species in Minnesota yet has 4 outfitters publishing a price (we have partial data for Bear, Elk, Exotic, Waterfowl, Whitetail Deer). Rather than show a median resting on one or two operators, we leave it out until the sample can carry it. The estimator below models a specific trip in the meantime.
