What Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes no whole-unit line for 2022; a year's total is the sum of published hunt rows, added only where the lines do not overlap.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's published results. 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.
