Conservation groups and hunters welcomed the passage of the Duck Stamp Modernization Act (HR 2872) by the U.S. House of Representatives on September 20.
The bill gives American waterfowl hunters the flexibility to have a physical Duck Stamp or an electronic stamp on their smartphones when hunting ducks and geese. Under current federal law, Duck Stamps purchased online are valid for a period of 45 days, after which duck and goose hunters must have a physical Duck Stamp received in the mail.
The measure allows hunters to place Duck Stamps on their phones.
