Got my Federal Duck Hunting Stamp last year in time for teal season-early September. Was told that I would not get a physical stamp but an electronic verification that I had purchased one which meant I had to carry my cell phone with me any time I hunted.
Today, I got my last year's duck stamp with a beautiful picture of a bull Pintail on it. Wonder what it costs the government to print and mail the stamp? If we're going electronic-GO ELECTRONIC for cryin' out loud!!!!! If you insist on me getting a physical stamp for my $25 than have them at the point of sale. Why in the hell do both????
If anyone wants to buy a new in box never signed/used Federal Duck Stamp (not valid for use after June 30, 2025) plus a signed letter verifying it was issued to me. I'll let this one go for $20 shipped.
This could have value beyond your wildest dreams in the future as there is only one in existence. First "I'll take it" followed by a letter from your doctor attesting to your competency gets it.

I'd like to have your Duck Stamp, but any doctor who would attest to my competency would be a quack.

It really seems like "they" are trying to make hunting harder and harder. One less reason to need guns.

Either that or one more reason to need guns.

From the US Fish & Wildlife Service:

The 2024-2025 Federal Electronic Duck Stamps (E-stamps) will be available for purchase through previously enrolled states. E-stamps will be valid from the date of purchase through June 30, 2025. Participants in the E-stamp program must carry their E-stamp certificate when hunting in either digital or hardcopy depending on the laws of the state where they are hunting, as well as fulfill other licensing requirements. A physical Federal Duck Stamp will be mailed to each E-stamp purchaser between March 10 – June 30, 2025.

The cost of an E-stamp will be $29.00 ($25 for the stamp, $4 for the federal processing/convenience fee). Individual states selling E-stamps may also charge additional state fees and handling charges on any sales of federal E-stamps. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is not responsible for fees charged by states.

Traditional methods of purchasing the Federal Duck Stamp – from a consignee, through a local post office, through Amplex, and online through the US Postal Services Postal Store – will continue.

It may not be making it harder to hunt. If you've gottta have your smart phone with you all the time.......they know where you are.

When I was guiding quite a few hunters never signed their tamps...The fed wardens wee quite often pretty decent giving the miscreans a pen to sign 'em and giving verbal warning...and I always advised 'em to sign 'em. ...my hunting partner Bill never sugned his...I happen to have 2 first year ducj stamps...neither pristine both signed...still a bit rare these days. I bought the hunting licences of a local hunter after his death at his wife's yard sale...had the first 19 years of duck stamps

Whoever came up with that was a real QUACK!!!!!! But seriously a duck blind is not a great place for a cellphone. NY and WVa also do this with hunting licenses. NY you print your deer tag out. WVa you just put your info on an index card or note pad and attach to deer.

I went to Texas this November, to go fishing, and as a Vet and a SC,
the tag was 24" long with a hunting license also, for deer, turkey, duck, etc also included in the print out !!

That state sure loves their fishing and hunting...........
and no actual "Stamp" was needed.
