Odds describe last season’s published field, not a forecast — a pool under ten tags moves materially on one applicant, and ≥, ≤ and ≈ mark levels the agency did not publish outright. Every figure comes from Missouri Department of Conservation’s own statistics; confirm with the agency before you apply.
