Federal Migratory Bird Stamp

The Federal Migratory Bird Stamp is now an electronic stamp privilege. The physical stamps are NO LONGER available at NDOW offices or NDOW license agents that sold them in the past. However, the US post offices will continue to sell the physical stamp. You can purchase your electronic Federal Migratory Bird Stamp privilege at the NDOW Online Consumer site (ndowlicensing.com), at NDOW offices, and from most license agents. The privilege is valid for 45 days to allow for receipt of the physical Federal Migratory Bird stamp in the mail from the USFWS. Once the physical stamp is received it must be signed and affixed to the license. For assistance, contact NDOW’s License Office at Toll Free 855-542-6369.

This regulation brochure contains only a synopsis of the hunting laws for the State of Nevada. Complete text of the laws and regulations may be obtained by contacting the Nevada Department of Wildlife or by checking our website at ndow.org.

Small Game Hunt Surveys

The small game hunt questionnaire (upland game birds, rabbits, and waterfowl) can be found online in February of each year at ndowlicensing.com. Even though this is a voluntary questionnaire, we encourage those sportsmen that pursue these species to do their best to track their hunting excursions in terms of number of days hunted, what county they hunted in and how many animals were taken. These surveys typically close around the end of April. This information is instrumental in helping the Nevada Department of Wildlife determine harvest estimates each year and make recommendations for upcoming seasons and bag limits.
