The 2025 Michigan Duck Stamp
The Michigan Waterfowl Stamp Program, established in 1976, has become an icon among waterfowl hunters and wetland conservation enthusiasts. Over the past 49 years, the program has gained popularity with collectors and conservation groups throughout the United States.
The 2025 Michigan Waterfowl Stamp was designed by Gunner Hilliard, a lifelong resident of New Jersey. Hilliard has competed in duck stamp contests since 1992. Waterfowl were a vital part of his childhood, as he grew up on Lakes Bay in New Jersey. Surrounded by birds and habitat, he was inspired not only by the lush landscapes but also by his late father, a skilled decoy carver and true outdoorsman. Hilliard hopes to inspire and educate others about waterfowl and conservation. His joy in creating his artwork is evident in his paintings.
The Michigan Duck Hunters Association coordinates the Michigan Waterfowl Stamp Program in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The MDHA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to waterfowl and wetland conservation. Proceeds from stamp sales fund MDHA projects, with 10% used to match DNR funding for purchasing wetlands.
The stamp is a voluntary purchase and does not replace the state waterfowl hunting license. The MDHA will mail hunters a free copy of the stamp (subject to availability) if they send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a copy of their Michigan waterfowl hunting license to: MDHA Waterfowl Stamp Program, P.O. Box 186, Kawkawlin, MI 48631.
