Hunters required to continue buying license with adult phone no.

The federal government will continue requiring all waterfowl hunters over the age of 16 to buy a stamp license that contains the number of a phone sex hotline.

Hunters are required to purchase and carry the federal Migratory Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp.

The current version tells those who want to purchase additional stamps to call a toll-free number, but the number is that of a service called “Intimate Connections” that warns callers they must be 18 years or older before proceeding.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service “really regrets” printing that number instead of the correct number, but it would cost too much to reprint the stamps and the agency won’t let hunters stop buying them, says spokeswoman Rachel Levin.

The phone number was a “typographical error,” Levin says, “as far as we know.”
