Conservation organizations and duck hunters applauded the Sept. 20 passage of the Duck Stamp Modernization Act (H.R. 2872) by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The bill provides U.S. waterfowlers with the flexibility of possessing a physical Duck Stamp or an electronic stamp on their smart phones while hunting ducks and geese. Under current federal law, Duck Stamps purchased online are valid for a period of 45 days, after which time duck and goose hunters must possess the physical Duck Stamp received in the mail.
