Rosebud Indian Reservation
Small Game Stamps
Small game stamps were required to hunt waterfowl on the reservation starting in the late 1979. The first stamps were serial numbered. They are imperforate with dry gum and were printed in pads of unknown quantity. In the early 1980s they were replaced by similar stamps without serial numbers. Also imperforate, they were self-adhesive on a peelable backing.
In 1988 separate semi-pictorial stamps were printed and issued for residents and non-residents. The resident stamps were used through the 1993 season. The non-resident stamps are believed to have been used through 1989 only. They were imperforate with dry gum and were printed in pads of 50. In 1990 new resident and nonresident stamps were printed. They are die cut, self-adhesives on a protective backing. A 1993 printing of the resident small game stamps, while having the correct face value ($10), were inscribed "Non-Resident" in error. While replacements were being printed, the error stamps were overprinted "RESIDENT" with a rubber stamp and issued to hunters.
