What Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes no whole-unit line for 2020; a year's total is the sum of published weapon rows, added only where the lines do not overlap. Hunter counts not published for 2020. Source: Nebraska Game and Parks 2020 Deer Harvest Report; Nebraska Game and Parks 2019 Deer Harvest Report.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 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. How we compute these.
