Attention all Duck Hunters!!!!

To all duck hunters in America..both members and nonmembers of Ducks Unlimited:
   I am asking all duck hunters in the United States to submit their favorite unpublished photo via email or mail which involves duck hunting for consideration and selection of a series of 6 paintings (one painting every 2 months). The photo subject matter may only include waterfowl, duck blinds, or retrievers (no portraits of hunters).  Every 2 months beginning with July 1st I will place the photo owners name of the photo I have selected on my website, and when the painting is completed and the Regional Director of his area is contacted I will post the Director's name if you wish to contact him or her. Please use this email address to send your photos:  bearcreekwalkers@aol.com You may attach a brief description of the photo if you wish. For mailing the photos please use this address:

 Frank  Baggett
 1710 Crystal Springs Rd    
 Waverly, Tennessee 37185 

#1.  Upon selection, the owner of the photograph will be contacted via email or phone (please include your contact info with your submission) and informed by me personally that I have selected their photo for the painting.
#2. The owner will recieve at no cost, one of only two 18x24 prints which will be framed and delivered to his or her personal address.
#3. The owner will have the option to purchase the original painting from me.
#4. The other print will be mailed to the nearest Ducks Unlimited Regional Director's Office of the photographer's state and will be auctioned at the banquet of which the Regional Director denotes. All proceeds from the auction of the print will go directly to the Ducks Unlimited funds for betterment of our world's wetlands.
    This is a personal plege from myself (Frank Baggett) to the conservation of our wetlands, and the preservation of wildlife habitats so that my grandchildren and their grandchildren will have a place to hunt and enjoy the beauty of nature as I have in my life.
