Federal Duck Stamp money is legally mandated to be used for habitat acquisition: land purchase or perpetual conservation easements as allocated by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. As of last year, the USFWS Real Estate Office still had more landowners willing to sell land and/or easements than the Duck Stamp revenue could cover into the foreseeable future.

Our money goes to DU. Whether you insulate that fact through layers of their bureaucracy or not, we pay (by law) the Feds, and they pay DU.

Show us how and where federal duck stamp money goes to DU?

NAWCA money ...... certainly; WRP ...... absolutely; but you'll need to educate me on how DU gets federal duck stamp money.
