Showing resident results. Switch to nonresident

Nebraska draws this hunt for residents only — there are no nonresident results to show. The numbers below are the resident draw.

No longer drawn — the last draw was 2024

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission held its 2026 elk draw without U13-ANTLERLESS. The odds, costs and history below are that record, not an offer.

Points Your chance Applicants Drawn

Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points² + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. How we compute these.

What it costs (2024 resident fees)

Cash to apply
$0
Out of pocket if unsuccessful
$0
Total if drawn
tag fee not on file
Refunded if unsuccessful
$0

Applying, free when you miss, buys a 1-in-5 chance at 0 points at the 2024 odds, so you'd expect to draw within about 5 years.

Resident elk bonus point · only for a point bought without applying — an unsuccessful applicant gets the point free $25 source

Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $25 and adds a point for next year's draw.

Next application window: opens Jun 1, closes Jun 12, 2027 (expected) · results ~June 19. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.

Point creep & years to draw

Bonus points (squared) — no cut to track: each point adds entries to the draw rather than a place in line.

How to read these numbers

Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Under five tags the percentage is flagged: one applicant either way swings it. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.

Not an application service

Draw rules, quotas, fees and deadlines are set by each agency and change by commission action. Check the agency's site and apply there; we don't take applications.
