Your chance of drawing here
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has not offered an elk license in EHZ 7S in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Tennessee elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone
What Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season. 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.
