Did they "F" up my license/duck stamp?

I have a lifetime license. I went this morning and did the hip certification, got my deer tags, and federal duck stamp.

I know the fed duck stamp went up to $25, but I was charged $27.22.

On my License it says...

quote:

161 Federal Duck Stamp $27.22
Valid for 45 days from date of issue


Or is that the cost plus tax, and the print out is valid for 45 days or until I receive my physical stamp in the mail?

Im not sure about the price, but the 45 days is for the temp paper.

It's all correct. The printout is valid for 45 days or until you get the real thing in the mail. The cost is some sort of convenience fee I believe.

They're taxing the duck tax bro. But it's for the wetlands and duck habitat so I'll have 10, please.

This is what happens when budgets get cut.

The 2.22 is a charge for mailing you the stamp that they used to hand you in the store and they call it a convenience fee

Go to post office, it's 25 even. Get HiP cert and other tags at your own convenience while checking out at Academy.

Couldn't you theoretically let someone else use the stamp once it comes in if you only planned to hunt teal season or one of the splits?

I hunt the whole season but it seems like a possible loophole for the short term hunters

You have to sign it and attach it to license

I know


But you have a signed receipt that's good for 45 days and an unsigned stamp once it comes in the mail

Yes, if you don't intend to hunter after the 45 day expiration of the temp paper, theoretically you could give/sale the official stamp to someone else and they could sign it and attach it to their license.

$2.22??? Oh my gawd! One gallon less of gas to get me to Toledo, where the ducks flock like the salmon of the Capistrano.

Where did you go that they didn't hand you a physical stamp after purchase?
