Discover the art, hunting heritage, and conservation power behind America’s iconic Federal Duck Stamp.

Wildlife artist Adam Grimm joins Legends of the Wild to share his journey from a childhood spent hunting and fishing in Ohio to becoming a three-time Federal Duck Stamp winner. Grimm’s photorealistic waterfowl paintings aren’t just art—they’re part of a conservation legacy that has raised billions for wetland and habitat protection.

We explore:

• The origins of Grimm’s wildlife art and his passion for the outdoors


• What it takes to win the prestigious Duck Stamp Contest


• Why duck stamps matter to hunters, anglers, and anyone who loves wild places


• The role of the Prairie Pothole Region in producing North America’s waterfowl


• Stories of conservation, hunting traditions, and passing on an outdoor legacy to future generations

Whether you’re a duck hunter, pheasant chaser, or simply love spending time outdoors, this episode dives deep into how art, hunting, and conservation intersect. From the impact of predator management to the importance of protecting grasslands and wetlands, Grimm brings both an artist’s eye and a sportsman’s perspective to the conversation.
