Nebraska Bighorn Sheep — Bighorn Sheep Management Lottery
No more draws here — the last one was 2025
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission held its 2026 bighorn sheep draw without Bighorn Sheep Management Lottery. No current hunt code lists this unit; the Nebraska bighorn sheep hunts on offer are drawn elsewhere. The odds, costs and harvest below are that history, kept for the record.
Its biggest hunt, BHS-MGMT-LOTTERY, put up 2 resident tags in the 2025 draw.
Your chance of drawing here
The last draw held in Bighorn Sheep Management Lottery was 2025. These are that draw's chances for a first-choice resident applicant, kept for the record — nothing is on offer here for 2026.
Chances are from the 2025 draw (the last one held here) for a first-choice resident. Random draw: every applicant has the same chance.

What these columns mean
- Your odds —
- the share of applicants who drew this tag in the 2025 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 (2025 resident fees)
| License | Up front | Gone if you miss | If you draw |

| Per application | $29 | $29 | $29 |
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 Management Lottery, 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.
