Michigan duck stamps and prints available now

The Michigan Duck Hunters Association, in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, has introduced the 2021 collector's-edition Michigan duck stamp and prints.

The Michigan Duck Stamp Program was established in 1976 and has become an icon for waterfowl hunters and wetland conservation enthusiasts. During the past 44 years, the program has gained popularity with collectors and conservation groups throughout the U.S.

The Michigan Duck Hunters Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to waterfowl and wetland conservation, coordinates the program in partnership with the DNR. Proceeds from stamp sales will be used to fund MDHA projects, with 10% used to match DNR funding for purchasing, restoring and enhancing wetlands.

The 2021 Michigan duck stamp features a drake wood duck painted by John M. Roberts. Roberts is a wildlife artist from Saginaw Township with a particular interest in waterfowl and painting waterfowl. His winning wood duck image is based on a photograph a friend snapped at Crow Island State Game Area in Saginaw County.

Your purchase of Michigan waterfowl stamps and prints helps ensure continued conservation of wetlands and waterfowl habitat. Purchasing the stamps is voluntary and does not replace the state waterfowl hunting license. Get your Michigan duck stamps and prints today.
