Texas Upland Game Bird Stamp Print
by Scott and Stuart Gentling

The spring turkey mating ritual between hens and gobblers make possible an entire hunting genre. By imitating hen calls, thousands of Texas hunters each spring attempt to lure wary turkey gobblers into shotgun range. Even when the tactic fails, the hunters are still treated to a rare springtime ballet danced across a verdant field decorated by wild flowers. Proceeds from artwork previously known as the Texas Turkey Stamp have funded the largest eastern turkey restoration project in America. This year, the Texas Turkey Stamp was reconfigured as the Texas Upland Game Bird Stamp that will be required for those who hunt turkeys, quail, pheasants and chachalacas.

Scott and Stuart Gentling share a lifelong passion for wildlife and art. Both brothers began a serious study of art at age 14 and are best known for their drybrush watercolors of landscapes, still lifes and portraits. The Texas Audubon Society designated the Gentlings as the Centennial Artists. They also painted art for the 2004 Texas Waterfowl Stamp Print.

A special Conservation Edition will be made available to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

There will be 100 Artist's Proofs.
