I had to create an account in Wisconsin with the DNR under “go wild”, because the Iowa DNR is still in the Stone Age on these things, so paid to Wisconsin and got the temporary license, then when the real stamp came it was mailed from Texas. I have no idea why and was wondering if anybody had any insight into this, why you pay Wisconsin and the stamp comes out of Texas?

Purchased a Federal Duck Stamp today at a local sporting goods store. Paid cash and was charged an extra $3.00 on top of the $25.00. Was given a temporary piece of paper and was told the stamp would be sent in the mail in a few weeks! Talk about taking a step back with all this new technology malarkey! I should have tried the post orifice I guess!

We get our Duck stamp from the post office as it it still considered postage.

Hodagtrapper it will be interesting to see if yours comes from Texas also, krispcritter I normally due as well but our great local post office didnt order any this year and the situation prevented me from going to another.

I got a real stamp at post office. All the stores do the temperary thing now around here.

I got charged the $3.00 fee once also. Ever since I've gone to the post office to get it.

I bought mine off the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission website. I believe it was sent out of Texas also. I would assume that is where they are printed but I don't know.

Nobody want's to get stuck with the stamps would be my guess, I make it easy I won't buy one. LOL

In our store we sold Federal stamps as a service to our customers, but our local post office was run by an anti so she never kept many in stock. My wife talked to her boss and fixed the problem.

Canada lets you print it on your printer and you're good to go. They sent me the real one here in France and I had it in 6 days.

They should require the birdwatchers who enter Federal refuges to buy one too.

A duck stamp is not a postage stamp.

The one year I bought a duck stamp, I bought it at the post office.

I agree.

Post office has them.Any sporting goods store and even wallmarts have them here.$25,,no extra charges.

mine came from Texas

Purchased the paper copy from local convenience store and emailed Iowa DNR about how to get actual stamp, reply was that I would receive actual stamp within 45 days of purchase. Still waiting.

Don't your post offices have them.

They only have then if the post master orders them, and ours doesn’t really care if she does she’s just there for the paycheck not to make friends or be liked. I received mine almost 4 weeks later when mine came you couldn’t miss it because the envelope was covered in printing that told you the stamp was inside.

I got mine today at a gas station (paper temporary). Post office was closed and I needed it. Had to pay the 3 extra dollars.

My mistake, it was the Iowa state stamp that I purchased at my local convenience store. My local post office did have the Federal stamp by mistake, he didn't order them in but was sent several hundred dollars worth of them. His plan was to send them back when he was sure no one wanted any so as not to have the inventory on the books. If I took one he was not able to send back for credit. I told him I would check back to see if he had broke the seal for anyone else. Not a fowl hunter any more, was just buying state and federal so the revenue could benefit wildlife.
