mourningdoves, I'm not a bird hunter so I am not exactly certain what type of licence was in place before 1985 to hunt migratory birds. I know that hunters of migratory birds back in the 1970s needed a licence and I can only assume that it was just a paper licence without a bird stamp affixed to it.

The US and Canada signed a Migratory Birds Convention back in 1916. Each country creates regulations to protect the birds that are included in the convention.

To hunt migratory game birds in Canada you need a Federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit with an affixed Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp. The permit is valid anywhere in Canada.

The revenue from the stamp is used by Wildlife Habitat Canada, a national, charitable non-profit, conservation organization to fund a variety of conservation initiatives, including habitat conservation projects.
