Jicarilla Apache Reservation Wildlife Stamp

The Jicarilla Apache Reservation is located in northwest New Mexico, between Santa Fe and Durango, Colorado. The Jicarilla Apache Tribe is believed to have started requiring all hunters to purchase a wildlife stamp in 1988. No date was printed on the wildlife stamps and the same stamps were used through 1994. It is possible, however, that several different printings over the years resulted in the stamps being printed on different shades of paper. They are issued in booklet panes of four (2x2) with a tab at the top. The panes are plain rouletted 6 1/2 between the stamps and between the stamps and the tab. Twenty five panes are stapled together to form a booklet. Serial numbers are in black ink. The stamps have dry gum.
