The agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. How we compute these.

Point creep & years to draw
No points in this draw — every applicant has the same chance each year, so there is no cut to creep and nothing to build toward.

Tennessee's figures are counts of elk taken in each zone, as TWRA published them after the hunt - not a survey estimate. TWRA has published no per-zone harvest since 2018.

How to read these numbers
Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
