Brand new to duck hunting... just received my duck stamp in mail. I bought my fishing/hunting combo license at academy, and before i was out door, remember, oh yeah, i need the duck stamp, so went back and bought that as well. What is really confusing for me is that the fishing/hunting combo shows Federal Duck Stamp QTY: 1, Expires 11/18/2014, on the print out of when i just bought the fishing/hunting combo license by itself, and the one that i actually paid for the stamp shows that it Expires 12/16/2014. Being that the season is 11/1 to 12/7 and then 12/20 to 1/25/15.

I'm totally confused.

Being that i have the actual Duck stamp in hand, does this give me the right to hunt the whole season up here in N Texas on the dates 11/1 to 12/7 and then 12/20 to 1/25/15.

The duck stamp is valid to June 30, 2015.

The print out sheet is temporary.. only valid for a short period of time. The actual Stamp is good until June 30, 2015.
