Conservation > Habitat Montana Migratory Bird Stamp

The Migratory Bird Stamp brings a renewed emphasis by FWP on wetland habitat and the importance of wetlands to wildlife and working lands. 

Anyone who purchases a Montana Migratory Bird Hunting License will receive the new Montana Migratory Bird Stamp. Hunters will still need a Federal Duck Stamp and a Montana Migratory Bird License to hunt migratory birds in Montana. The Montana stamp is a non-regulatory, collectible sticker that FWP is distributing to bring new emphasis to wetland habitat and the importance of intact wetlands to wildlife and working lands.

Anyone who purchases a Montana Migratory Bird License will receive the sticker, a postcard with information about the Migratory Bird Wetland Program, and information about how to make additional contributions. Proceeds from license sales will support wetland habitat conservation and restoration.

The sticker and postcard are not available at front counters at FWP offices.
