The past fiscal year has provided challenges for many with the onset of COVID-19. Whitetails Unlimited is no exception. However, through all the adversity, WTU awarded more than 1,000 grants totaling $1,405,000. The grant program provides funds to support local projects that strengthen WTU’s mission. Our dedicated volunteers and entire membership base enjoy sharing in the responsibility of managing the nation’s most sought after big-game animal. They have witnessed the strengthening of some of WTU’s most successful programs and initiatives, including Staying on Target, HOPE for Wildlife, Preserving the Hunting Tradition, and the DEER Program.
Over the past 39 years, Whitetails Unlimited has recruited thousands of conservation minded individuals to join its ranks as chapter volunteers. As WTU volunteers, they share similar values with others concerned about the white-tailed deer, its habitat, and the future of deer hunting. Their continued dedication will remain a vital ingredient in the organization's formula for success.
“Our mission has always been clear, says WTU President Jeff Schinkten, “To raise funds in support of educational programs, wildlife habitat enhancement and acquisition, and preservation of the hunting tradition.”
