John Serigny -
SECRETARY AND
SOUTH CENTRAL REGION
DIRECTOR

John is a retired 61 year-old from Larose, Louisiana. He is pictured with his two grandchildren, Jack and Audrey Doucet of Houston, Texas.

John has been an avid water fowler for almost all of his life
and owns a duck camp between Leeville and Grand Isle in
Lafourche Parish where he and his friends and family hunt,
fish, shrimp trawl, and most of the other things people do
at camps in South Louisiana.

Besides duck hunting, John plays a lot of golf with friends-
almost all of it badly. His excuse is that when duck season
rolls around, the clubs get picked up until hunting season is
over.

John has been a member of DU since 1975. He has served
as Chapter & Zone Chairman, chairman of the MARSH
committee as well as MARSH committee member, state
green wing chairman, State Trustee, and Trustee Emeriti.
Currently he is DU's member on the LWA organizing
committee.

Dr. Jay V. Huner -
NORTHWEST REGION DIRECTOR

Jay is a retired 65 year-old currently residing on Cotile Lake west of Boyce in Central Louisiana. He was born and raised in Baton Rouge.

Jay holds a doctorate in Marine Sciences from LSU and his credentials qualify him as both a fisheries biologist and a wildlife biologist. His career was oriented toward aquaculture with emphasis on crawfish culture. However, the conflict between farmers and birds preying on crawfish and competing for food drew him back to an emphasis on wildlife biology.

Some of Jay's earliest memories were accompanying his father, a consulting geologist, to camps in the Atchafalaya Basin and to hunts and fishing trips at Bayou Sale south of Centreville. He hunted the
Bayou Sale marshes into the 1980s and then became associated with a club at McElroy Swamp near Sorrento in the Blind River area.

Jay and his wife Judith relocated from Lafayette in 2002 to Cotile Lake. He continued to work as Director of the Crawfish Research Center at UL Lafayette until his retirement in 2005.

Jay doesn't hunt as much as he did in younger days having picked up the yen for bird watching while documenting the myriad of birds utilizing working wetlands – crawfish and rice impoundments. His Louisiana life list is 358 of the state's 463 recognized birds and includes the first report of a Garganey, the Eurasian equivalent of our Blue-winged Teal. Besides, if he passes up a dead shot on a
duck, some "Greenwing" might get his first duck!

Jay has been a member of Ducks Unlimited for over 30 years and joined Delta Waterfowl a few years ago. He has held several elected offices in the Louisiana Wildlife Federation and is currently a
Director at Large.

If Jay shoots it, he eats it. Poule d'eau are amongst his favorite birds for the pot – marinated breasts and hind quarters plus gizzards are great.
