What the Agency Says About the Area
The hunt is defined as a list of whole counties in NGPC's own regulation, not as a mapped unit, so it has no polygon by design.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission'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.
