I was not aware of this particular Act in our nation’s history. On this date in 1934, the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Act (amended to be called the Duck Stamp Act) was passed by Congress. It requires that all waterfowl hunters 16 years or older must have a valid Federal hunting Stamp. Money collected from these stamps go to a special Migratory Bird fund. There is a contest every year to determine the style of the stamp.
