This is an 87-minute historical documentary PLUS over 300 vintage slides in slide show format.
WHEN the BROADBILL was KING on GREAT SOUTH BAY
This documentary tells the history of a particular kind of duck shooting on Long Island's Great South Bay. It describes the period from 1935 until about 1985 when guides and gunners had to adapt their methods and gear to changing times. When the long-controversial battery was finally banned by federal law in 1935, the Great South Bay Scooter took its place in the big open bay rigs. Greater Scaup – known to Long Island gunners as Broadbill – remained extraordinarily abundant and continued to provide sport and sustenance for gunners from both near and far. The story is told through period photographs, in-depth interviews with several veteran gunners, and a contemporary Broadbill shoot done in the ways of this era. This film will appeal to anyone interested in waterfowl, duck shooting, vintage boats, bay ecology, and Long Island history and culture.
BROADBILL is co-hosted by Ducks Unlimited Regional Director Craig Kessler (retired) and NYSDEC Chief Ecologist Steve Sanford (retired). The filming and editing are by duckboats.net member Anthony Babich (www.island-outdoors.com). All proceeds from the DVD sales go to the not-for-profit Long Island Decoy Collectors Ass'n (www.lidecoycollectors.org).
Run time: 87 minutes (plus ~ 25 minutes of bonus slide show)
All the best,
