Nebraska Deer — Republican
No more draws here — the last one was 2018
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission held its 2026 deer draw without Republican. No current hunt code lists this unit; the Nebraska deer hunts on offer are drawn elsewhere. The odds, costs and harvest below are that history, kept for the record.
Nebraska Republican covers 3,185,509 acres and lies 11 miles south of Hastings and 27 miles east of Minden. 2% of it is public land, mostly military (1%).
Your chance of drawing here
The last draw held in Republican was 2018. These are that draw's chances for a first-choice nonresident applicant, kept for the record — nothing is on offer here for 2026.
Chances are from the 2018 draw (the last one held here) for a first-choice nonresident. "Points needed" = the cut in the last draw.

What these columns mean
- Your odds —
- the share of applicants at your point level who drew this tag in the 2018 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 15%+ · Point builder below that, so you are applying mainly to bank a point · Undersubscribed means fewer first-choice applicants than tags, so everyone who applied drew.
- Points needed —
- the lowest point total that still got a tag in the 2018 draw, and how that cut has moved since the earliest draw we hold.
- 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 (2024 nonresident fees)
