The agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes no applicant counts for this hunt, so the chance is the pool average. As a lower choice, ELK-GEN drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's published results (the agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
