Stamp It Forward

Community Duck Ruck

DO IT FOR THE DUCKS: This year’s Stamp It Forward and Duck Ruck will be a community effort to cover as many miles and raise as much money as possible. So get out your pack, throw some decoys over your shoulder, and get to waddling down the road wherever you are.

Sam Soholt started the “Stamp It Forward” campaign in 2019 with the goal of educating people on the conservation value of the Federal Duck Stamp. Since then, Soholt has raised over $150,000 for the purchase of Federal Duck Stamps. But this year, he is reaching bigger for conservation with a goal of $100,000.

He is passionate about waterfowl, and always has been.

“I was born right in the Prairie Pothole Region. I did nothing but live and breathe duck hunting from the ages of 10 to 24. I even chose my college, North Dakota State University, based on proximity to good duck hunting,” Soholt said.

This is a “Duck Ruck” for conservation due to the fact that 98% of the purchase price of a duck stamp must legally go directly to help acquire and protect waterfowl habitat. That means more ducks in the skies for generations to come—a true way to STAMP IT FORWARD.
