A $29 nonrefundable application fee must accompany each application. Only Nebraska residents 12 years and older are eligible for the lottery.

The application period begins at 1 p.m. Central time April 21 and ends Aug. 1.
Applications will be received at Game and Parks offices until 5 p.m. or, if applying at OutdoorNebraska.gov, through 11:59 p.m. CT Aug. 1.
The permit will be drawn later in August, and the successful applicant will be notified.
The 2025 bighorn sheep regular season is Dec. 2-22.
