USFWS Finalizes 2022 Federal Duck Stamp Contest Regulations

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has published final regulations governing the annual Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Contest – also known as the Federal Duck Stamp Contest – beginning with the 2022 contest. These revisions provide artists more flexibility when designing their art and broaden the appeal of the Duck Stamp to a more diverse audience.

“The waterfowl hunting community is immensely supportive of the Federal Duck Stamp, one of our nation’s most well-known and revered wildlife conservation programs,” said Service Principal Deputy Director Martha Williams. “For nearly a century, Duck Stamps have generated more than $1.1 billion in sales used to acquire 6 million acres of wetland habitats that help address the impacts of climate change, purify water supplies and provide economic support to local communities as they attract outdoor recreationists from many different backgrounds.”

This final rule removes the “celebrating our waterfowl hunting heritage” theme and the mandatory inclusion of an appropriate hunting element beginning with the 2022 Federal Duck Stamp Contest; changes the judging requirements to consider that the entries reflect this theme; and revises the qualifications for selection as a judge. Since the implementation of the 2020 final regulations, which made the hunting theme a permanent requirement, many stakeholders and artists have continued to express their dissatisfaction with this element being mandatory for all entries.

Introducing Carlson’s New Bismuth Bone Buster Waterfowl Choke Tubes

Carlson’s New Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are designed to help you unlock the performance of Bismuth shotgun ammunition.

Bismuth is making a comeback as a cost-effective alternative to the rising expense of shooting tungsten-based shot shells while offering more knock-down power than lead. With this devastating power, Bismuth has all of the downrange capabilities hunters look for in their shot shells with the added advantage of being able to use tighter constrictions to produce dense patterns with more down-range energy.

Harness that hard-hitting Bismuth performance with Carlson’s New Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes! With a longer parallel section and tighter constrictions, these choke tubes pattern bismuth better than factory or most aftermarket chokes.

Carlson’s Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are manufactured in the USA from 1704 stainless steel, have a non-reflective matte black finish, and are backed by Carlson’s lifetime warranty.

Carlson’s Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are offered in the following configurations:

Mid Range: For all Steel, Bismuth, Lead, and Hevi-Shot ammunition.

Designed for best performance from 20-45 yards.
