WASHINGTON ? A program allowing state fish and wildlife agencies to sell federal duck stamps online would receive permanent status under legislation approved by the House.
Since 1934, waterfowl hunters have gone to post offices and sporting goods stores to buy the annual federal hunting permits.
But four years ago, eight states joined a pilot program to try out the sale of electronic duck stamps. Those stamps remain valid for 45 days, until the actual stamp arrives in the mail. The bill would allow that program to be made permanent among all states.
The program lets hunters go online to purchase the federal stamps and state hunting licenses simultaneously.
Revenues for the $15 stamps are used to buy or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System.
