14.8 Migratory Birds and Waterfowl Hunting

Mourning doves, geese, and ducks also provide hunters with many hours of hunting activity. All migratory bird and waterfowl hunters are required to have a basic hunting license. In addition, waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and older must possess both a federal and a state migratory waterfowl stamp to hunt waterfowl in Washington. Juvenile hunters under 16 years old are exempt from this requirement for supplemental stamps.
