Seems like a report generated from that kinda research would be a pretty useful to a lot of us. Was this guy messing with me? If not, is that something they publish or is it confidential?

As was previously mentioned, it may take several years to publish anything, if they do. They may gather that data with no intention of publishing it, especially if it gives them nothing worth publishing.
LDWF gathers harvest data on turkeys and deer, but they do no release a report every year with that information. For example, Jimmy Stafford told me they try to release a WMA turkey harvest report every 5 years.
