The administration has not proposed changing the rule, but is asking whether the current protections are working and whether they should be revised.<\/p><p>Duck hunters and major waterfowl conservation groups, including Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, have spent the past two weeks urging the Trump administration to leave the protections in place \u2014 an unusual backlash from a constituency that skews rural and conservative.<\/p><p>The response has extended beyond conservation-group leadership. Hunting organizations have mobilized waterfowlers across the country to weigh in, and more than 10,000 public comments had been submitted to Fish and Wildlife by Aug. 5, according to Realtree.<\/p><p>The issue was a major topic among waterfowlers at Ducks Unlimited\u2019s annual expo in Memphis, according to Outdoor Life.

Known as prairie potholes, they can dry out during dry periods and refill with snowmelt and spring rains \u2014 a cycle that also makes them especially sensitive to changes in how water moves through the surrounding land.<\/p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <p>The scale is hard to overstate. Fish and Wildlife says the Prairie Pothole Region provides habitat for more than 60 percent of North America\u2019s breeding waterfowl and produces roughly 50 percent to 75 percent of several major duck populations, including mallards, pintails, canvasbacks and blue-winged teal.<\/p><p>Despite their small size, the wetlands provide breeding ducks with food and young birds with cover from predators.<\/p><p>In other words, the Prairie Pothole Region is duck paradise \u2014 and a pretty good place to be a duck hunter, too.<\/p><p>Waterfowl hunting is a major economic engine for the region. Fish and Wildlife estimates the sport and its associated industries support roughly 30,000 jobs and generate nearly $1 billion in economic activity.<\/p><p>Much of that habitat would not be protected without \u201cDuck Stamps.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4245\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8a8e2d4772b3c03e84f7d58d4e7b747b-1024x718.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8a8e2d4772b3c03e84f7d58d4e7b747b-1024x718.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8a8e2d4772b3c03e84f7d58d4e7b747b-300x210.webp 300w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8a8e2d4772b3c03e84f7d58d4e7b747b-768x538.webp 768w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8a8e2d4772b3c03e84f7d58d4e7b747b.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div> <p>Waterfowl hunters over 16 are required to purchase a Federal Duck Stamp. The money doesn\u2019t just fund a day in the blind \u2014 it helps protect the habitat that puts ducks there in the first place.<\/p><p>Since Congress expanded the Duck Stamp program in 1958, proceeds from stamp sales have helped the federal government protect prairie wetlands, including by purchasing conservation easements from willing landowners in the Prairie Pothole Region.<\/p><p>The easements are voluntary: landowners agree to protect designated wetlands while retaining ownership of the property. They can still farm or graze the land when the wetlands dry naturally, but cannot drain, fill or level the protected areas.<\/p><p>Hunters have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Duck Stamps over the decades, with 98 percent of the revenue going toward wetland habitat conservation. For waterfowlers, that investment protects both the birds and a hunting tradition passed down through generations.<\/p><p>Some farmers have embraced a \u201cfarm the best, conserve the rest\u201d approach, selling less-productive acres into conservation easements while continuing to work their best land. For struggling operations, those sales have also provided a financial lifeline that can help keep a family farm intact for the next generation.<\/p><p>Modern \u201cdrain tile\u201d complicated that longstanding arrangement.<\/p> <div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4247\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/316de6cdbbb1742c49e854400fe888aa-1-1024x682.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/316de6cdbbb1742c49e854400fe888aa-1-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/316de6cdbbb1742c49e854400fe888aa-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/316de6cdbbb1742c49e854400fe888aa-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/316de6cdbbb1742c49e854400fe888aa-1.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div> <p>Drain tile is a network of perforated pipes buried beneath farmland to carry excess water away from fields and keep crops from becoming waterlogged.<\/p><p>Conservation groups warn that drain tile can affect protected wetlands even when the pipes are installed outside the easement. By intercepting groundwater and runoff that would otherwise feed a prairie pothole, the system can leave the wetland with less water.<\/p><p>In 2024, Fish and Wildlife formalized a policy it had followed for roughly 60 years, requiring drain tile to stay a safe distance from protected wetlands. The setback could vary by property based on factors such as soil, terrain, water flow and the drainage system itself.<\/p><p>The rule also gave farmers legal protection: if their drain tile stayed within the approved setback and was not expanded or modified, they would not be held responsible if a protected wetland later lost water.<\/p><p>There is no formal proposal to change the rule. But hunters and conservation groups fear the review could lead Fish and Wildlife to weaken or eliminate the setback requirements, allowing drain tile closer to protected wetlands and increasing the risk that some could dry out permanently.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=4240\">Republican Rep.

He also argues the restrictions have complicated efforts to help a nearby town address persistent flooding because the proposed solution could affect the wetland easement.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m a conservationist. I hunt ducks. I believe in protecting the land,\u201d Peterson wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to drain every wetland on my property. I just want to farm productively and help my community. But the federal government seems to believe the only acceptable path forward is for me to let them manage my land.\u201d<\/p><p>Jeffrey McCoy, a senior attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation representing Peterson, said the rule has had significant consequences for his client.<\/p><p>\u201cConservation does not give the federal government permission to rewrite a 60-year-old easement and claim control over far more of his family farm than the agreement allows,\u201d McCoy told the Caller. \u201cThe original agreement adequately protects waterfowl habitat while ensuring that farmers can use their land.\u201d<\/p><p>McCoy said the rule could prevent Peterson from farming roughly 40 percent of his property and interfere with efforts to address flooding in a nearby community. He said Peterson is not seeking to disregard the easement, but wants the government to enforce the agreement as originally written, including its protections for normal farming practices.<\/p><p>Hunters argue the consequences would extend far beyond the Prairie Pothole Region. Ducks hatched in the northern prairies migrate south through major flyways, eventually filling marshes and hunting blinds in southern states. <\/p><p>A Republican consultant and avid waterfowl hunter who requested anonymity to speak freely about the regulatory review said that connection is precisely why the review matters nationally. <\/p><p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t just affect farmers and hunters in North Dakota or Minnesota,\u201d the consultant told the Daily Caller. \u201cIt affects the guys in a blind in Arkansas or Louisiana who are counting on birds that were hatched five states away. This is a billion-dollar sportsmen\u2019s economy on the line over a rule nobody asked to change.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhat makes this interesting politically is that it doesn\u2019t split along the usual lines,\u201d the consultant added. \u201cDuck hunters and conservation groups skew rural and often conservative, and they\u2019re the ones sounding the alarm \u2014 not the groups you\u2019d expect to be at odds with this administration.\u201d<\/p><p>Asked about the concerns raised by hunters, conservation groups and lawmakers, Fish and Wildlife referred the Daily Caller to the information contained in its RFI. The U.S. Department of Agriculture referred questions about the issue back to Fish and Wildlife.<\/p><p>\u201cAmerica\u2019s sportsmen have made themselves loud and clear on this issue.
