Does youth need the federal duck stamp

Does youth need the federal duck stamp? He has the HIP but doesn't show any endorsements.

Yes. Anyone & every who hunts migratory waterfowl needs the federal & state "stamp"

Unless things have changed, I thought all youth under 16 were exempt from the state and Federal stamps..


Youth Hunting License

Texas Migratory Game Bird Stamp Endorsement

Type 168:$7Required to hunt any migratory game bird (waterfowl, coot, rail, gallinule, snipe, dove, sandhill crane and woodcock). A valid Federal Duck Stamp and HIP Certification are also required of waterfowl hunters 16 years of age or older. A free Federal Sandhill Crane Hunting Permit is required to hunt sandhill cranes. The permit is available:


Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp
