What Buck said (Thanks George!).

Make sure you have your old (2010) license with you for your duck stamp. They switched it to calendar year effective this year, that's why it's good for 18 months (if you bought one last year).

If you buy one now it will expire 12/31/11.

The HIP is not a license, that's why it was not on the mail in form. It's a separate permit that you can still get online. The HIP was not included in the fee increases last spring.
