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 2025; a year's total is the sum of published hunt rows, added only where the lines do not overlap. Hunter counts not published for 2025.

About These Numbers

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.
