THANKS TO MORE THAN 475 CHAPTERS, 114,000 PLUS MEMBERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND CORPORATE SPONSORS, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS EARNED THE REPUTATION OF BEING THE NATION'S PREMIER ORGANIZATION DEDICATING ITS RESOURCES TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHITE-TAILED DEER AND ITS ENVIRONMENT. OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, WILDLIFE HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND ACQUISITION, AND PRESERVATION OF THE SHOOTING SPORTS AND HUNTING TRADITION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. TO DATE, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS EXPENDED MORE THAN $109.9 MILLION ON PROGRAM SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES THAT CONTINUE TO ENHANCE AND ULTIMATELY FOSTER THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION. 0 0 1649786 421804 90275 DEER PROGRAM TEACHING OUR NATION'S YOUTH IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR WHITETAILS UNLIMITED AND OUR DEER (DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES) PROGRAM CONSISTS OF VARIOUS INITIATIVES AND ACTIVITIES THAT FACILITATE THE INTRODUCTION OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO SOME GREAT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. THIS INCLUDES FAMILY EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, AND EDUCATIONAL ELEMENTS THAT EXPOSE PARTICIPANTS TO CONSERVATION ISSUES, FISHING, HUNTING, SHOOTING SPORTS, WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. AS A STRONG ADVOCATE AND SUPPORTER OF HUNTER SAFETY AND HANDS-ON INSTRUCTION, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IS IN THE FOREFRONT OF PROVIDING STATE HUNTER EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS WITH THE NECESSARY TEACHING AND SAFETY AIDS REQUIRED TO TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN. 3758928 733093 205685 PRESERVING THE HUNTING TRADITION PROGRAM WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IS A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF REGULATED HUNTING, HUNTER RIGHTS, SHOOTING SPORTS, AND DEFENDING THE SECOND AMENDMENT. AMERICA'S 11.4 MILLION HUNTERS OVER THE AGE OF 15 IN THIS COUNTRY SPEND OVER $20.1 BILLION A YEAR ON HUNTING EQUIPMENT, TRAVEL, AND OTHER "BIG-TICKET" ITEMS. OF THESE HUNTERS, 7.9 MILLION ARE DEER HUNTERS. HUNTING IS A WHOLESOME FAMILY ACTIVITY THAT PROVIDES OUTDOOR RECREATION AND AN ORGANIC FOOD SOURCE FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES. MAJOR INITIATIVES OF WHITETAILS UNLIMITED FOCUS ON HUNTER SAFETY, RECRUITMENT & RETENTION, INCREASING HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROVIDING MENTORED OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES TO YOUTH, VETERANS, AND THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. 2398210 796653 131228 STAYING ON TARGET PROGRAMAS A NATIONAL ADVOCATE FOR THE PERPETUATION OF THE SHOOTING SPORTS, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IS HELPING BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF SHOOTERS BY FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING PUBLIC ARCHERY AND FIREARM PROGRAMS AND RANGE DEVELOPMENT. MAJOR EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON WHITETAILS UNLIMITED SHOOTING SPORTS ACTIVITIES INCLUDING KIDS ON TARGET "3 IN THE RED" FIREARM CHALLENGE AND "THREE FOR THREE" ARCHERY CHALLENGE. COMPLIMENTARY ARCHERY AND FIREARMS CHALLENEGE KITS ARE AVAILLABLE AT WTU EVENTS AND TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST FROM HEADQUARTERS. WTU ALSO SUPPORTS THE ADOPT-A-TEAM INITIATIVE. THESE TARGET-SHOOTING YOUTH ACTIVITIES PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTION TO BASIC ARCHERY AND FIREARM FUNDAMENTALS TO HELP NURTURE A LIFELONG INTEREST IN THE SHOOTING SPORTS, AND FOR SOME PARTICIPANTS THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE HUNTING FRATERNITY. 742669 217328 40637 THE R-3 INITIATIVE TO ENGAGE THE NEXT GENERATIONS OF HUNTERS, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS CREATED A TEACHING AID TITLED DEER HUNTING - NEXT GENERATION THAT FOCUSES ON THE 3 R'S OF HUNTING: RECRUIT, RETAIN, AND REACTIVATE. COMPLIMENTARY BOOKLETS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FROM HEADQUARTERS. THE NEED TO RECRUIT NEW HUNTERS IS CRITICAL TO THE SPORT OF REGULATED HUNTING. THE REVENUE FROM HUNTING LICENSES AND THE EXCISE TAX COLLECTED ON THE SALE OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION FUND STATE FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS AND PAY FOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS AS WELL AS LAW AND REGULATION ENFORCEMENT, HUNTER EDUCATION, AND OTHER WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. THE BEST WAY TO RECRUIT A NEW HUNTER IS TO OFFER NOVICES A DAY AT THE RANGE, TAKE THEM SMALL GAME HUNTING, AND LOAN THEM EQUIPMENT UNTIL THEY BECOME MORE EXPERIENCED. TEACHING A NEW HUNTER SAFETY, ETHICS, AND HUNTING SKILLS INSTILLS A LIFELONG INTEREST IN THE OUTDOORS AND WILDLIFE. HOPE FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM CREATING AND MANAGING QUALITY WILDLIFE HABITAT AND ACCESS TO PUBLIC PROPERTY ARE TOP PRIORITIES OF WHITETAILS UNLIMITED AND THEY ARE BEING ADDRESSED CURRENTLY THROUGH OUR HOPE (HABITAT OPTIONS & PLANNED ENHANCEMENT) FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS WHO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES AND DEER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS. HOPE FOR WILDLIFE ALSO CREATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCE AGENCIES TO ACQUIRE LAND AND THEREBY INCREASE PUBLIC HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES AND ENHANCE CRITICAL HABITAT FOR WHITE-TAILED DEER AND NUMEROUS OTHER WILDLIFE SPECIES.ADOPTA-TEAM PROGRAM - WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IMPLEMENTED THE WTU ADOPT-A-TEAM INITIATIVE, TO HELP FUND PERMANENT ENDOWMENTS FOR SHOOTING SPORTS PROGRAMS AT HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT WTU'S CHAPTER BASE AND MEMBERSHIP DEMOGRAPHICS. THE PROGRAM FOSTERS WTU'S MISSION OF PRESERVING THE HUNTING TRADITION BY ACTIVELY INVOLVING OUR NATION'S YOUTH IN THE SHOOTING SPORTS AND HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY PARTICIPANTS WILL ENGAGE IN REGULATED HUNTING. FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES AND ONCE THE COMMITMENT IS MADE, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED WILL ISSUE A GRANT TO THE MIDWAY USA FOUNDATION IN THE NAME OF THE SHOOTING ENTITY. ALL ADOPT A-TEAM ENDOWMENT ACCOUNTS ARE ADMINISTERED BY THE MIDWAY USA FOUNDATION.DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WTU'S DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS AIMED AT PROVIDING LANDOWNERS AND HUNTERS WITH A BACKGROUND ON THE HISTORY OF WHITE-TAILED DEER MANAGEMENT, ECOLOGY, AND THEIR UNIQUE HABITATS. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF DEER MANAGEMENT BOUNDARY SIGNS AND EDUCATIONAL BOOKLET THAT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE WILDLIFE HABITAT AND WHITE-TAILED DEER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS. COMPLIMENTARY SIGNS AND BOOKLETS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FROM HEADQUARTERS.DREAM SHED PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS BEEN SOLICITED BY COUNTLESS ORGANIZATIONS AND FAMILIES, ASKING IF WTU OFFERS ANY ASSISTANCE GEARED TOWARDS HUNTING AND FISHING EXPERIENCES FOR CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IN 2015 WE CREATED DREAM SHEDS AND ENLISTED THE ASSISTANCE OF DRURY OUTDOORS TO DONATE THE SHED ANTLERS FOR THE PROGRAM. ANY CHILD, 18 YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER, WHO IS A UNITED STATES OR CANADIAN CITIZEN, HAS A QUALIFYING PHYSICIAN-CERTIFIED LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS, AND HAS NOT IN THE PAST HAD ANOTHER HUNTING OR FISHING REQUEST GRANTED, IS ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPANT CONSIDERATION. TO DATE, WTU HAS PROVIDED GRANTS TOTALING OVER $501,000 TO THE CATCH-A-DREAM FOUNDATION TO HELP MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE. 2021 - 2022 ANNUAL WHITETAILS UNLIMITED PUBLISHES AN ANNUAL THAT COINCIDES WITH ITS FISCAL YEAR. THIS PUBLICATION SHOWCASES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF WTU'S MOST PROMINENT PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES INCLUDING PRESERVING THE HUNTING TRADITION, DEER PROGRAM, HOPE FOR WILDLIFE, AND STAYING ON TARGET. THE ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS RANDOM LOCAL GRASSROOTS PROJECTS THAT REINFORCE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND SERVES AS A SENSE OF PRIDE FOR OUR LOYAL MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING THAT MISSION. THE ANNUAL IS COMPLIMENTARY AND AVAILABLE AT WTU EVENTS AND TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST FROM THE HEADQUARTERS.HUNT FOR THE HUNGRY INITIATIVE - WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF HUNTER DONATIONS TO FOOD PANTRIES AND HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN BOTH FINANCING AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS IN MANY STATES. EACH HUNTING SEASON, WTU ENCOURAGES MEMBERS AND HUNTERS TO DONATE VENISON THEY CANNOT USE PERSONALLY TO FOOD PANTRIES IN THEIR LOCAL AREA. THE DONATED VENISON PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF MEALS TO THE LESS FORTUNATE. OUR HUNT FOR THE HUNGRY INITIATIVE ADVOCATES THE MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERSHIP, AND WE PARTNER WITH OTHER GROUPS INCLUDING: FARMERS AND HUNTERS FEEDING THE HUNGRY, SHARE THE HARVEST, SPORTSMEN AGAINST HUNGER AND OTHERS. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO MANY RURAL COMMUNITIES AND ARE AN EASY WAY FOR HUNTERS TO HELP BY HARVESTING ANOTHER DEER TO DONATE FOR PROCESSING AND DELIVERY TO A LOCAL FOOD PANTRY. OUTREACH PROGRAM WHITETAILS UNLIMITED PROVIDES HUMANITARIAN SERVICES THROUGH SEVERAL INITIATIVES. THESE INITIATIVES DEMONSTRATE THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF PHILANTHROPY BY DIRECTLY REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE IN NEED AND HELP MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE. PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED INITIATIVE WHITETAILS UNLIMITED PROMOTES COURAGE AND DIGNITY, WHILE ENABLING THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED TO ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS AND FULFILL LIFELONG HUNTING DREAMS AND WISHES. THE VARIOUS INITIATIVES OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY AND DESIRE TO FULFILL AN OUTDOOR CHALLENGE.PROJECT POLITE ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY THIS WHITETAILS UNLIMITED PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM ADDRESSES A MAJOR CHALLENGE CONFRONTING REGULATED HUNTING ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY! PROJECT POLITE, AN ACRONYM FOR PERMISSION OF LANDOWNER IN ORDER TO ENTER CONSISTS OF THREE MAJOR COMPONENTS: WTU HUNTER-LANDOWNER ID CARDS, COMPLIMENTARY HUNTING WITH PERMISSION BOUNDARY SIGNS, AND A VARIETY OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. THE MOTIVATION FOR THIS PROGRAM REMAINS TODAY BECAUSE OVER SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF OUR NATION'S PRIME WILDLIFE HABITAT IS IN THE HANDS OF THE PRIVATE LANDOWNER. CONSIDERING THAT FIGURE ALONE, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT CORDIAL RELATIONS MUST CONTINUE TO BE FOSTERED BETWEEN THE HUNTER AND THE PRIVATE LANDOWNER. WHEN YOU COMBINE PROPER IDENTIFICATION WITH A PERSONAL, POLITE REQUEST TO HUNT A PERSON'S PROPERTY, DOORS START OPENING TO NEW HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES. COMPLIMENTARY COMPONENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST FROM HEADQUARTERS.TREE STAND SAFETY AWARENESS PROGRAMWHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS PARTNERED WITH THE TREE STAND SAFETY AWARENESS FOUNDATION TO ADVOCATE THE ABC'S - THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF TREE STAND SAFETY. HUNTING FROM ELEVATED STANDS OF ALL TYPES CREATES AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT PULLS ON US EVERY DAY GRAVITY. WHILE TRIPPING OVER A ROOT OR ROCK AND HITTING THE GROUND CAN CAUSE INJURY, MOST OF THESE INJURIES ARE RELATIVELY MINOR. HOWEVER, A FALL FROM A MUCH GREATER HEIGHT LIKE A TREE STAND CAN RESULT IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS OR LIFE-CHANGING INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT 85% OF FALL VICTIMS DIDN'T WEAR A HARNESS.THE NUMBERS ARE SURPRISING: ONE OUT OF THREE HUNTERS WHO USE AN ELEVATED STAND WILL BE INJURED. THOSE ARE NOT GOOD ODDS. ANY TIME A HUNTER IS ABOVE GROUND, THEY ARE IN DANGER, AND MUST BE PROTECTED. HUNTERS NEED TO USE A FULL BODY FALL ARREST HARNESS SYSTEM (FBFAHS) THAT MEETS STRINGENT INDUSTRY STANDARDS. SINGLE-STRAP BELTS AND CHEST HARNESSES HAVE PROVEN TO NOT BE SAFE; AND IN FACT, SINGLE STRAP BELTS CAN THEMSELVES CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH.BUT JUST WEARING A HARNESS IS NOT ENOUGH. THE SECOND COMPONENT IN THE SAFETY SYSTEM IS A LIFELINE OR SAFETY LINE THAT ATTACHES SECURELY TO THE TREE, AND THEN CONNECTS TO THE HUNTER'S FBFAHS. THIS IS NOT JUST A HUNK OF RANDOM ROPE, BUT AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM. IT WILL SUPPORT THE HUNTER'S WEIGHT WITHOUT BREAKING, AND THE INCLUSION OF A PRUSIK KNOT ALLOWS A HUNTER TO BE CONNECTED DURING ASCENT AND DESCENT, AS WELL AS WHEN SITTING IN THE STAND. THE PRUSIK KNOT SLIDES EASILY GOING UP AND DOWN, BUT IF THERE IS A SUDDEN FALL, THE KNOT TIGHTENS IMMEDIATELY, HELPING TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT 99% OF FALL VICTIMS INJURED WERE NOT ATTACHED DURING ASCENT OR DESCENT FROM THE ELEVATED STAND.SAFE SHOOTING INITIATIVEWHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS DEVELOPED A SAFE SHOOTING INITIATIVE THAT UTILIZES COMBO SHOOTING PACKS, COMPRISED OF BOTH EAR AND EYE PROTECTION TO WEAR WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE SHOOTING SPORTS. AT WTU EVENTS, COMPLIMENTARY COMBO PACKS WERE GIVEN AWAY TO MEMBERS CREATING AN AWARENESS OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INITIATIVE. IN ADDITION TO THE COMBO PACKS, EDUCATIONAL EVENT POSTERS AND VARIOUS STORIES IN WTU PUBLICATIONS CONTINUE TO STRONGLY PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF USING EAR AND EYE PROTECTION WHILE HUNTING AND SHOOTING.WHITETAIL WATCH A PROGRAM CREATED BY WHITETAILS UNLIMITED TO HELP CURB THE CRIME OF POACHING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WHITETAIL WATCH COMPONENTS INCLUDE BOUNDARY PROPERTY SIGNS, WALLET CARDS, AND DECALS AS VISIBLE REMINDERS TO POACHERS THAT LOCAL CITIZENS ARE ON THE WATCH AND WILL REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY. THE SIGN ENCOURAGES ANYONE WHO SEES SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY TO REPORT IT TO THEIR PROPER WILDLIFE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. THE ACT OF POACHING STEALS FROM ALL CITIZENS, DAMAGES OUR NATURAL RESOURCES, AND CASTS A NEGATIVE LIGHT ON THE SPORT OF REGULATED HUNTING. COMPLIMENTARY WHITETAIL WATCH SIGNS ARE AVAILABLE AT WTU EVENTS AND TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST FROM HEADQUARTERS. 742669 217328 40637 8549593 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 125 1 1 38 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AR CT DE FL GA IA IL IN KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS ND NE NH NJ NY OH OK PA SC SD TN TX VT WI WV WY RI X KAITLIN SLABY 9207436777 2100 MICHIGAN AVE STURGEON BAY WI 542350720 PETER GERL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 45.00 X X 170770 0 5358 WILLIAM GERL JR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 24162 0 527 JEFFREY SCHINKTEN PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 33292 0 810 KAITLIN SLABY VP FINANCE & TREASURER 45.00 X X 87304 0 2884 DAVID HAWKEY VP - FIELD OPERATIONS 45.00 X 141155 0 4665 MICHAEL DECHECK VP - FIELD OPERATIONS 45.00 X 17314 0 0 DANIEL VOGT FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 114846 0 14781 DENNIS MALLOY FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 120112 0 4489 JOEL REYNOLDS FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 119782 0 4462 JASON NEWTON FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 107093 0 2911 935830 0 40887 7 0 1 0 2B OUTDOORS 117 BENTLEY DR BRANDON MS 39042 FIELD DIRECTOR 126674 1 657209 1095179 557900 527012 177550 2837300 MEMBERSHIP DUES 511120 397079 397079 MAGAZINE ADV.
