Received mine today for 2025-2026 season. This makes no sense, either give it to me when I bought or just stamp me legal for hunting season and keep it, 100% Ridiculous I’m getting a stamp 5 months after purchase, not to mention tje season is now closed.

Rant over.

It’s because you now can use a “digital stamp”. Your hunting license now has the line item federal duck stamp and that counts while hunting. They don’t ship til after the season because then in theory you would have 2 and could give it to someone else.

That’s also why you are supposed to sign the actual stamp.

I haven’t bought one for a couple years, when did this start? What happened to having to sign the stamp?

They are only available online now or what?

Makes my wonder why still even have the physical stamp if you buy it that way? I guess some people keep them.

Signing the stamp does nothing if you have a digital and a physical. If I buy a digital and get the physical before the season ends…. I now don’t need to buy my son 1.

Why do I need to sign a stamp that I received 6 weeks after the season closed?

To keep from giving it to someone that doesn’t actually buy one.

So why even issue one, just issue the digital. Seems like alotta expenses to issue these stamps after the fact.
