Waterfowl Stamps
Vermont began requiring sportsmen to purchase a waterfowl stamp in 1986. From 1986 through 2010-11, the stamps were all pictorial. The pictorial stamps were printed in sheets of 30 (5 x 6) with perforated selvage on all four sides. A plate number was printed in the selvage of each of the four corners. All of the pictorial stamps had perforations on all four sides (see Figure VT1 below).
Starting with the 2011 issue and continuing through 2013, the stamps were non-pictorial. Following the 2013 season, Vermont discontinued issuing adhesive stamps altogether and went to a computerized “point of sale”, wherein printed text and codes substitute for stamps on the hunter’s license.
The 2011 – 2013 stamps were die cut, measured approximately 26 mm x 50 mm and were affixed to a protective backing (see Figure VT2) on sheets of ten (1 x 10), with the stamps turned sideways. Across the top of each sheet was printed “Vermont Waterfowl Stamp” and to the left of each stamp were two die-cut pieces of gummed paper bearing copies of the stamp’s serial number. It is believed these were for accounting purposes.
