• partyhunt checks for group hunts
• overdays checks if number of days hunted exceeds hunting season
• overbags checks for abnormally high bag sizes
• openclose checks to see if harvest date falls outside the season
• huntdays summarizes the total number of days hunted
• retrieved summarizes the total number of bids retrieved
• retrievedmap maps the mean retrieved per state and species
• responselag visualizes time between hunt date and response date
• bagdays summarizes days hunted per hunter and species group
• bagspp summarizes species hunted by popularity
• compare visualizes differences between daily and season data
