Get Your Duck Stamp, HIP Permit and Deer Harvest Record

 

It's that time of year again! Here are a couple links for your convenience as you prepare for another great hunting season in Georgia: 

 

• PRINT your free HIP License. All hunters required to have a hunting license must obtain a FREE Migratory Bird Hunting License, commonly referred to as a HIP License, each hunting season to hunt doves, ducks, geese, rails and other migratory bird species. The license expires at the end of February each year. See below for step-by-step instructions for getting one.
  

 

• PRINT your free Deer Harvest Record. All persons hunting deer must obtain a FREE Deer Harvest Record each hunting season. This is a requirement even if the person is not otherwise required to have a hunting and big game license. The Deer Harvest Record expires at the end of February each year. See below for step-by-step instructions for getting one.
  

 

• PURCHASE a duck stamp. All persons over 16 must obtain a Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, commonly referred to as a Duck Stamp, to hunt waterfowl (brant, ducks, geese and swans). The Federal Duck Stamp is available for a fee at Post Offices, from some Georgia license agents, and online at http://www.fws.gov/duckstamps/stamps.htm. 

 

Each of these requirements serves an important function in managing wildlife populations. If you have already obtained them, thank you for your commitment to wildlife conservation! Please forward this message to friends or family who may need these links.
