For many years, Wisconsin's wild turkey, pheasant, waterfowl, salmon and trout stamp programs have been providing opportunities for wildlife and habitat management, with efforts directed toward key species. Turkey, pheasant and waterfowl hunters are required to purchase a species-specific stamp to legally harvest these game birds and fish in Wisconsin. Sales of these stamps bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for species management throughout the state, including habitat management, restoration, education, and research projects.
Every year, local artists from around Wisconsin compete for the opportunity to have their artwork featured on the Wild Turkey, Pheasant, Waterfowl, Inland Trout and Great Lakes Salmon stamps.
