Hugues Leblond (Longueuil)
A doctor in Neurophysiology and Biologist, Hugues is also the chief editor of a French internet magazine on waterfowl named SVMAG and co-founder of SV Productions Inc. producing top of the line waterfowl DVDs called Destination X.

His full time job consists of researching spinal cords to find a cure for paralysis. Besides family, his spare time is entirely devoted to waterfowl, all year long. By giving birth to SVMAG a few years ago, he decided to mix together his scientific skills and his passion to educate Waterfowlers, to make them dream. This was only the beginning. To achieve this endeavour in 2005 he created SV Productions Inc. with his hunting buddies Steve Morissette and Sebastien Vallerand. The goal was to produce top of the line waterfowl DVDs. To make it happen, they joined forces with some rock-solid Waterfowlers in the province of Quebec: Frantz Schweizer, Jean-Simon Thomas, David Genest and John Cristinziani.

His approach with waterfowl hunting and DestinationX is exactly the same as with science: Teamwork effort is crucial! Every guy in the team has its niche so we have the control on every aspect in the making of the DVDs. "On my part, I am mostly behind the camera during the geese hunts whereas I can enjoy the hunts with my dog, Brume, when we are chasing ducks."

"I am entirely responsible for the film editing. This way, as a waterfowler, instead of simply harvest the birds, I decided to build some imagery, some footage, by means of my video camera. This way, I can reach a greater audience and demonstrate what kind of promising hunts are achievable with a great work ethic when solid techniques are associated with the use of high end gear."

His ultimate goal is to bring waterfowl hunting to the next level!
