Migratory Waterfowl Stamp from $15 to $25

[Tealer]

Do you mean the ability to shoot 20 a day with lead like they can in Mexico?

It's all based on harvest. Canada can shoot 8 ducks and 8 dark geese and across an imaginary line it's 6 and. 3 or 4. Look up total harvest for Mexico, it's tiny. I bet CA shoots more the all of Mexico.

Look at the price of duck in the store. Won't take to many ducks to pay for your stamps. + they are fun to hunt.

one thing I've never understood about the fed stamp... is that most ducks come from canada... yet the duck stamp money stays here in the states....?

You need to do some studies on our Refuges. McNary National Wildlife Refuge is a good place for you to start. Don't matter where the ducks come from they need habitat to survive so they can get back up north for the breeding seasons.  Sorry I sound pissed but I am when people ask very stupid questions like this.  Also, not all about waterfowl because our refuges provide to all wildlife that have no seasons such as eagles and pelicans as a very small example.  Hunters are about the only source outside the tax payer to provide funds for these refuges.  Anti's talk but don't provide the extra funds to only call hunters the killers.

You know you could have answered this question without busting the guys balls.

I posted the poll because now that my kids are off to college I am looking into taking my nephews out and an addition $25 a piece to take them out a limited number of times has me thinking how this could impact overall recruitment.

It's an additional $10 each. Maybe you can get some work out of them for it.

[REHJWA]

Yes, it'll help them appreciate it a little more too...

I don;t mind the fees, i think in some ways it might keep the sky busting duck dynasty fans out (i do like DD but i hunted before they came out on TV and all i am from louisiana).  Some times on public land you get people just blowing calls and shooting at anything no matter how high it is.

C'mon man, the question was not a question.  It was an insult because the person thinks we are stupid for spending money on stamps because the person believes ducks are Canada's problem only.  If I wasn't going to bust their balls for that, I would rather go talk to the fence post instead of someone that is dumb as a fence post.

I stole this from the feds site.

What are Duck Stamps?
Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly known as “Duck Stamps,” are pictorial stamps produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They are not valid for postage. Originally created in 1934 as federal licenses required for hunting migratory waterfowl, Federal Duck Stamps have a much larger purpose today.
 
First Federal Duck Stamp.
Design by J.N. "Ding" Darling



USFWS/William Schmidt
The Second Federal Duck Stamp Contest (1951)
 
Federal Duck Stamps are vital tools for wetland conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Understandably, the Federal Duck Stamp has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated and is a highly effective way to conserve America’s natural resources.



I guess that says it all and there is less reason to complain.

Pot's legal, hdshot. Go get some. Mellow out. We're all hunters here. There are no stupid hunters. Just some who need more information.

Looking at last years regs youth under 16 don't need a stamp plus many other discounts on other license fees.   

About recruitment stamp sales have gone way down anyways and IMO blame is on lower success rates with higher gas prices.

No pot is not legal and I am subject to random per federal laws on my job.  Back to the subject, the info is out there but some choose to make their own conclusions even in questions which is just stupid.  I'm sure someone asked why did you get that and never understood why anyone would buy that? 

That was how the question was presented because the conclusion was they didn't understand why we spend money on stamps when nothing goes to the solution.  Ducks come from Canada end of story, so the person didn't understand about us putting up with the added expense on stamps that are sold from the trick book of a used car dealer.

Pot is legal in Wa and Colorado... but not federally... so it is legal. Thats why if you are like me a federal employee than it's not legal in that aspect.
