I would like to create my own Duck Stamp Special. I am fond of the 1959-60 Duck Stamp by Maynard Reece. See below. Of course it would have to be a Yellow Lab.

The Lab depicted was "King Buck" and was owned by John Olin. After that stamp, the rules were changed to prohibit dogs or hunters in the duck stamp. A friend of mine who won the Mich Duck and trout stamp competitions 7 times had a scene with hunters in one of his winning duck stamps. Again, rules were changed. No more hunters.

What does it mean when there is xxx in the post like the one above?

In my case, it meant that I screwed up, and posted my note twice. Now, I know that it is good stuff, but not so good that anyone would want to read it twice. Unfortunately, you can't delete posts - the best you can do is edit them, and replace the duplication with "xxx".

Thanks JD. I thought it was our evil Moderators at work.

The Duck Stamp special was finished in "French Grey".
What was that?

Just a chemical solution that very lightly etches the surface leaving a gray tone.

I don't know what chemical solution is used but I soaked my woodcock gun's trigger guard in pure vinegar and got a similar result.
