What these columns mean
- Your odds —
- the share of applicants who drew this tag in the 2026 draw. Not a forecast: quotas and demand move every year.
- The badge —
- plain language for that number. Likely draw 75% or better · Real chance 40%+ · Long shot below 40% · Undersubscribed means fewer first-choice applicants than tags, so everyone who applied drew.
- Tags / applicants —
- tags on offer and first-choice applicants for them, as the agency published them. Under five tags the percentage is flagged, because one applicant either way swings it.
What it costs to apply (2026 resident fees)
| License | Up front | Gone if you miss | If you draw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per application | $34 | $34 | $59 |
Application window: opens Apr 20, closes Aug 7, 2027 (expected). Full fee breakdown.
The country
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission does not publish a mapped boundary for Bighorn Sheep Lottery (regular season), so there is no map to draw.
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.
