The Long Island Decoy Collectors Association is planning its 2019 Annual Show (late Feb-early March 2019 in Hauppauge, LI, NY). Our theme this time around will be Atlantic Brant. As we have with Broadbill (2015 ~ When Broadbill was King on Great South Bay) and with Black Ducks (2017 ~ On the Falling Tide: The story of traditional Black Duck gunning along the south shore of Long Island), we will be displaying information about the history, biology and traditions of our subject species. However, unlike the two earlier species, we will not be limiting ourselves to Long Island's waters. Instead, we want to present information (and decoys and gear) about the Brant throughout its Atlantic tidewater range - from Massachusetts down through North Carolina.
At this stage, we are seeking old photographs of Brant and Brant hunting. So, if you have anything you'd be willing to share (we mostly want high-quality digital images taken from originals - NOT the originals themselves), please get in touch. Suitable materials can be photographs, artwork, decoy patterns, news articles, local tales - anything that relates to the pursuit of this grand bird - Our Graceful Arctic Goose.

So, if you have something we might use - or just an idea - please send me a PM or an e-mail at sjaysanford@gmail.com
Thanks very much,
SJS
