DU isn't making you buy the stamp, nor are those funds automatically directed towards DU. Delta competes for those funds as well (although not as well, apparently).

There is still a difference between this and the red snapper management issue. Whether you agree with it or see the benefit of it, DU spends that money on waterfowl that WATERFOWL HUNTERS enjoy. Not all SW fishermen pursue red snapper, so the SW license fee should not be increased for the sole purpose of diverting those funds to a singular species. Rather, a species-specific permit should be established or fee increased for an existing permit.

If you can't see that, I can't help you.
