huntregs is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
What we do carry
rows verbatim — no row is summarised, and every field the source row carried is rendered, including the ones we have no column for;
each record’s own declaration of what it does not contain, printed in full and unedited, above the rows rather than under them;
our own withdrawals — dated, with the reason as written, and the state’s rows gone from every route while the withdrawal stands.
What we do not carry
the law itself. Every state page links the agency’s own document; that is the thing to read.
declared gaps. Where a record says regulation exists that it does not carry, that regulation is not here — it is named, in the record’s words, and it is still missing.
zone, unit or boundary geometry. The compilation holds no maps and this app draws none; several records declare that as a gap themselves.
shooting hours. Clock, sunrise and sunset text is shown exactly as written — nothing here computes a sunrise, a sunset or a timezone.
legal advice, or any judgement about whether a particular hunt is lawful for you.
every state. Some have no record in this compilation at all and some are withheld by the verification ledger today; which is which is measured on the index page each time it is loaded, not listed here.

what this rule cannot see
It reads this record's OWN prose. A restriction nobody declared is invisible to it — and an undeclared restriction is what takes a state offline.
It takes each gap's carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.
It cannot weigh. One missing county list and fourteen missing pages of special-permit hunts each score once. There is no severity here, and that is why no score is shown.
It classifies a whole gap, never a row. A gap that qualifies four rows and a gap that qualifies all of them read identically.
Across the published records the record-level answer is almost always over. That is a statement about how regulation is written — what is missing from a compilation is usually a restriction — not a ranking of states.
Record integrity
Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
2026-2027 Tennessee Fishing, Hunting, & Trapping Guide, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, effective August 1, 2026 to July 31, 2027; p.68 (printed folio 66), "White-tailed Deer Management Units (DMUs)" and "Deer Definitions and Bag Limits", and p.69 (printed folio 67), "Deer Seasons and Bag Limits". **PDF index and printed folio differ by two on both pages** and both numbers are given deliberately
The document is those bytes. A URL is a name; if the publisher replaces the file behind it, this hash stops matching and the mismatch is the finding.
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
The publisher is named inside that citation, in the publisher’s own words. This record carries no publisher field of its own, so nothing here names one separately.
The record states its own regulation year as 2026. That is the record’s field, not a currency claim: a record may state a year older than the day we fetched it, and where it does, it says so here.
Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

derived Tennessee declares 6 gaps, of which 5 are regulation this compilation does not carry.

declared by the record, which states these carry no regulation. They are published because the reason a thing was not read is part of the evidence.
advertisement
**p.69 is 53.4% image and p.68 is 30.2%**, and almost all of it is paid advertising: a full-page Whitetail Properties Real Estate advert on p.69 carrying eleven agents and their phone numbers, and two more on p.68. None of it is regulation. It is ruled out line by line with that reason rather than swept, and it matters to anyone reading pypdf's text stream because **the advertisement is lines 0-51 of page 69 and the season table does not begin until line 52** -- any "first N lines of the page" heuristic reads a realtor's advert.
derived family: photograph/graphic/advertisement
Coverage
100.0% of one unit per PRINTED BLOCK across the two cited pages: on p.69 one drawn table cell (the page rules every cell, including every merge), one whole numbered footnote, or one baseline-clustered loose line; on p.68 one rejoined PARAGRAPH of its three prose columns. 1 unit is 1 cell / 1 footnote / 1 paragraph, NOT 1 pypdf text line -- pypdf's line stream on p.69 opens with 51 lines of a realtor advertisement and glues an antlerless bag limit onto the end of a date

3 library repair(s)
line: -1; was: S ingle; now: Single; basis: footnote 4's first word. pdfplumber splits it; the `S` ends at x=50.31 and `ingle` begins at x=54.08, a gap of 0.01pt, while a space glyph on this line is 1.87pt wide and the narrowest real word gap on the page is 1.6pt. There is no space character between them in the content stream. pypdf reads the word whole and this adapter joins on the measured gap, so `S ingle` is published nowhere
line: -1; was: Nov. 2– Nov. 6; now: Nov. 2–Nov. 6; basis: the Archery season's second date range. pypdf inserts a space after the en dash HERE AND NOWHERE ELSE on the page: the dash ends at x=226.10 and the following `N` begins at x=226.82, a gap of 0.72pt, and the Muzzleloader row two rows below is typographically identical (dash ends 224.16, `N` begins 224.88, gap 0.72pt) and BOTH libraries read that one as `Nov. 7–Nov. 20`. There is no space character between them. The coordinate reading is kept
line: -1; was: Shoulder to Base; now: Shoulder to Base; basis: the two libraries return a different NUMBER of `to` tokens for this page -- pypdf 4, pdfplumber 3 -- and the extra one is in the 3.41pt CanvaSans labels of the cartridge diagram ("(Tapers from Shoulder to Base)"), which the two lay out differently. All three `to` tokens that reach a published row are in footnotes 2 and 4, where the two libraries agree word for word. Adjudicated rather than silenced: no repair is needed, the disagreement is in a figure label this record rules out
