Minnesota
Special Canada Goose Season Stamps
From 1997 through 1999, Minnesota issued a Special Canada Goose Permit in the form of a die-cut adhesive license stamp that measures 50 mm x 25 mm (see Figure MN4). In 1999 there was a second printing. The stamps were rouletted, non self-adhesive (gummed) and considerably larger, measuring 65 mm x 40 mm (see Figure MN5).
Not a lot is known about these stamps. I have spent a considerable amount of time studying Minnesota regulations, DNR bulletins and newspaper articles from this period and believe they were required for a limited early goose hunt in September from 1997 through 1999 and also an “experimental” extended late goose season held in December during the 1998 and 1999 seasons. If anyone has more information, please contact us.
