This painting by Ed DuRose of Roseville was selected as the winning design for the 2014 pheasant habitat stamp.
His entry was among 11 in this year's contest. Last year, DuRose finished second.
The $7.50 pheasant stamp is required of all Minnesota pheasant hunters ages 18 through 64. Stamp sales generate money for habitat enhancement efforts on both public and private lands in Minnesota's pheasant range.
The DNR offers no prizes for the stamp contest winner, but the winning artist retains the right to reproduce the work, which is usually done as limited edition prints. The 2014 Pheasant Stamp will be available for sale in March.
