I hunted the entire decade of the 90's. Now I don't believe I'd walk across the street to shoot a mallard. Loved the calling though, I would rather call them in and let someone else shoot them. 

Then you should know and appreciate the need for the stamp.

It is odd though you didn't know it was federal.

Chief, I knew it was Federal, ok. It slipped my mind. You're always so quick to criticize. I don't have a dog in this fight. Carry on with your MDC cheerleading...rah rah rah

I will. 

Since you are so quick to criticize them.

According to my friend, in order to get a Duck stamp he either had to go the the post office, or go to Walmart and fill out a form and wait two weeks. Plus the price of the stamp went from $15 to $25. If this is true, that's a shame.

When you purchase a duck stamp from a vendor other than the USPS it is the same as purchasing the stamp online and you are charged an extra $3.50? for the convenience of having to wait two weeks for it to arrive.  I had to purchase my migratory bird online this year and was charged an additional $1.00 convenience fee. Will MDC continue to charge the convenience fee when a license is purchased through a vendor, too?

Why would anyone want to go paperless?

Does everyone carry a phone with them at all times?  Does everyone have a cell signal everywhere they go outdoors?

What happens when agent Fred rolls into my farm and wants to see my app?  I have AT&T, they decided not to invest in cell service at my ranch.  Its so peaceful, no texts or phone calls from work.  Only wanted calls come in on the hardwired land line.  Same place I call in my kills.

I was at Wally World yesterday getting my Migratory Bird license prepping for upcoming waterfowl season.  Lady at counter stated that a customer was mad that they could not get the Federal Stamp as an app for their phone.  I laughed and stated it will probably be the guy in line complaining that he lost his phone in the nasty swamp mud and can't hunt till he gets a new phone.  I carry 3 state licenses, all are printed on the same size paper.  TN is not waterproof, but is watermarked with the TN Fish and Game logos.  Ark is on thermal paper like ours, but they also use watermarked paper with logos.  When I go to Illinois, I just print out on computer paper and toss when done, those are only daily passes.

I wonder how much money it costs each Fish and Game dept to manage and maintain a licensing system?  Does any of the revenue collected ever return to the general funding of the dept. for fish and wildlife, or does it all go to licensing, vending, and enforcement?  Computers, databases, apps all cost money too as do the people and pensions to oversee it.

Once you log in to the app, it saves your license to the app so you don't need a connection unless you buy a new one.
