Ruth's note below is well taken. As a point of clarification, I believe
the Skagit Wildlife Recreation Area is state property, not federal. The
conservation license is needed for state lands, such as Skagit. A Federal
Duck Stamp is needed on federal wildlife refuges such as Nisqually, or
Dungeness Spit.
This topic was thoroughly discussed a couple months ago, so we need not
rehash it now. (Unless, of course, you really want to.)
