MCCLUSKY, N.D. --(Ammoland.com)- National Duck Stamp AUG 03, 2010 04:32P.M.
Collectors Society President Ira Cotton has announced the results of the
annual Duck Tracks Duck stamp poll. Nikon Announces Big Bucks Rebate
Each years the society’s journal illustrates all the previous year’s state
Duck stamps and asks its knowledgeable members to vote for the best
and worst designs and for their favorite Duck stamp. The annual poll has
been a Duck Tracks feature since 1995.
In the 2009 Duck Stamp Poll, the Arkansas stamp was the clear winner,
capturing both the Best Design and Favorite Stamp categories. The $7
resident and $20 nonresident stamp, designed by Joe Hautman, shows a
pair of hooded mergansers.
The 2009 contest had 37 eligible entries, although North Dakota had a
text stamp, Hawaii (quail) and Wyoming (owl) illustrated non-duck
species and Massachusetts, as always, featured a duck decoy.
In the Best Design category, Arkansas edged out Illinois (common

goldeneyes by Abraham Hunter) with Pennsylvania (hooded mergansers
by Gerald Putt) a distant third. Nikon Big Bucks Rebate
In the Favorite Stamp category, Arkansas again won by a slim margin,

this time beating out Louisiana (Chesapeake Bay retriever and mallards
by Anthony Padgett) and North Carolina (Wigeon Trio by Gerald Putt).
The North Dakota text stamp was the clear choice in the Worst Design
category followed by Kentucky and Oregon.
The quarterly Duck Tracks journal is available with NDSCS membership,

which is only $20 per year. For more information contact: NDSCS

National Shooting Sports Foundation
NEWTOWN, Conn --(AmmoLand.com)- The National Shooting

Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms,
ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry, has announced its
opposition to a petition filed today with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) seeking to ban the use of traditional ammunition,
containing lead-core components, by America’s sportsmen and women.

The petition, filed by several agenda-driven groups including the Center at Ammo Land.com
for Biological Diversity (CBD), erroneously claims that the use of
traditional ammunition by hunters is inconsistent with the Toxic Firearms Industry Responds to Anti-hunting Attack on Traditional
Substance Control Act of 1976. Ammunition
