Collector's Edition Enamel Pin - Introducing the 2025 waterfowl pin, the Ruddy Duck!



ICF Waterfowl Enamel Pins
Every year this pin will feature a different species of waterfowl that can be found in Illinois.  These are limited edition and will not be recast once they are sold out. So don't wait, get yours today!

The Northern Pintail has been selected as our feature for the 2026 Waterfowl pin. Known for its graceful flight and distinctive markings, the pintail is a favorite among hunters and birdwatchers alike.

For the 2025–2026 season, hunters will also notice an exciting change: the daily bag limit for Northern Pintails has increased from one bird to three, offering more opportunities to enjoy this remarkable species in the field.
