They have a way to tell but I didn't go into those details. I went to
the effort to get this info due to a posting that maligned hunters and
the duck stamp program use of the funds. Obviously this mattered to
the person posting that message. If you want to know more about how
the stats regarding sales of duck stamps through the US Postal Service
are handled, you can contact the Waterfowl Harvest Survey section at
Patuxent.

</italic>Kathy,
I'm a little confused as to how they can tell. I buy my Duck Stamp at a post
office. If I were a hunter, I might still buy it at the post office. So of all
those
duck stamps sold through post offices, how do they KNOW it is not for use by
hunters?
Either way, I don't see that it matters that much. I like duck stamps and will
continue to buy them. And, no, I don't hunt.
Cheers,
