Odds by Point Level · 2023 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | 1% pool average: a floor with points | — | — |
Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points³ + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. As a lower choice, PLE-ZV drew no one in 2023, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2023 draw, the latest on file, computed from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's published results (unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools). 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.
