“artwork”

As our friends over at Hunter's Leadership Forum have reported, the hunting theme requirement for Federal Duck Stamp artwork has officially been axed.

The winning artist in each contest receives a $2,000 award and winning artwork is used to produce collector's stamps and other promotional items with sale proceeds benefitting Oregon's fish, wildlife and their habitats.

Federal duck stamps go on sale today and, while competition for the winning artwork is always fierce, I think Joe Hautman's woodie drake is as pretty as they come. Therefore there's no better year than this to join a growing waterfowl conservation tradition: buying not just one, but two duck stamps. I like to frame one stamp, and tuck my signed stamp (the one I hunted with) inside my duck journal as a memento.

Is it just Kyle Wintersteen's imagination, or has the Junior Duck Stamp Contest started to rival the adult competition?

The USFWS announced the theme "celebrating our waterfowl hunting heritage," for the 2019-20 Federal Duck Stamp contest. Artists will be required to include in their entry one or more visual elements that reflect the contributions waterfowl hunters make to habitat conservation.

While hunters can booking their dream adventures, the taxidermy and art are just as much of a draw.

Some of the most amazing taxidermy work you will ever see is on display at SCI's convention every year.
