Wildlife Habitat Stamps

Wildlife habitat stamps superseded the pheasant restoration stamps starting in 1989. They were required to hunt all small game and migratory waterfowl. They were issued in booklet panes of five (1x5) with a tab at the top. From 1989 through 1993 the panes were perforated 12 between the stamps and between the stamps and the tab. From 1994 through 1998, the stamps were plain rouletted between the stamps and between the stamps and the tab. Four panes were stapled between covers to form a booklet.

As with the pheasant restoration stamps, unsigned and used values are for sound copies. Faulty copies sell for considerably less.
