Did a member here win the federal duck stamp contest?

I was just think about this after reading the latest Outdoor News, it seems your stamp will be the first one at the new price of $25.00 as well as the first available via online sales..........good stuff.

 

Yes, it is the first $25 stamp. This seems like a harsh jump, but the last time the stamp went up in price was 1991. Inflation is a nasty beast, and $15 in 2015 is just not as powerful as it was in 1991 for doing conservation work, much of which is land acquisition and easements. If it kept up with inflation fully, the stamp would actually be at around $26.

I just saw this, sorry I missed the celebration.  I'll see if my PO has your stamp at some point in the coming weeks.

 

Congratulations again Jennifer.

Jennifer,

Are you selling signed prints of this artwork? I would be interested in one.

I am, there is more info on my site here: http://featherdust.com/duckstamp/

 

Also if anyone buys an extra stamp that they want signed, I will do that at no cost as long as one includes a self-addressed/stamped envelope for me to return it.

Very cool just got my stamp on the first. Hopefully this price increase gets us more public land to hunt and for breeding

Jennifer is the artist

The stamp is now officially released!

 

 

You can get the self-adhesive (shown above) from most post offices (call first, some don't carry it) and sporting goods counters.

 

If you are a collector and prefer the gummed style, you can order them:

If you want an artist-signed stamp and aren't local, get in touch with me and I will help you out!

We're also having a hometown event to celebrate the stamp release here in NY. It will be in the Olean/Westons Mills/Portville area on July 18th. It's free and open to the public, and we'll have special cancellations available, signing, and some pretty nice raffles. Bass Pro donated a bunch of really nice stuff to this so we have stuff like a nice trailcam, a nice goose call, some hunting gear, etc. Cutco also donated a really nice hunting knife.

Yes, I signed it to Postmaster Paula Clark at the Westons Mills post office, as she is our postmaster and also did our hometown sales of the stamp.
