The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will accept applications for one 2026 bighorn sheep regular lottery permit beginning April 20.
A $34 nonrefundable application fee must accompany each application. Only Nebraska residents 12 years and older are eligible for the lottery. It is unlawful to submit more than one application in a calendar year for a regular lottery permit. Residents may receive only one permit in a lifetime. The permit is not transferable.
The application period begins at 1 p.m. Central time April 20 and ends Aug. 7. 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. 7.
The permit will be drawn later in August, and the successful applicant will be notified.
The 2026 bighorn sheep regular season is Dec. 1-22.
