THANKS TO MORE THAN 474 CHAPTERS, 113,000 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 $94 MILLION ON PROGRAM SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES THAT CONTINUE TO ENHANCE AND ULTIMATELY FOSTER OUR MISSION. 0 0 2293699 365605 135016 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. 2460761 367510 144850 PRESERVING THE HUNTING TRADITION -WHITETAILS UNLIMITED IS A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF REGULATED HUNTING, HUNTER RIGHTS, SHOOTING SPORTS, AND DEFENDING THE SECOND AMENDMENT. AMERICA'S 11.5 MILLION HUNTERS OVER THE AGE OF 15 IN THIS COUNTRY SPEND OVER $27.1 BILLION A YEAR ON EQUIPMENT AND TRAVEL. 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 FOR SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN AND PROVIDING MENTORED OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES TO YOUTH, VETERANS, AND THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. 2234534 563081 131534 STAYING ON TARGET PROGRAM - AS 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 RANGES. 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. WE ALSO PROMOTE THE ADOPT-A-TEAM INITIATIVE. THESE TARGET-SHOOTING INITIATIVES PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTION TO YOUTH 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. 898486 227335 52889 THE 3 R'S PROGRAM-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. THE MAJORITY OF THE BOOKLETS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS TAKING PLACE DURING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THE REMAINDER WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NO-CHARGE, THROUGH WTU'S NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.THE NEED TO RECRUIT NEW HUNTERS IS CRITICAL TO THE SPORT OF REGULATED HUNTING. THE MONEY FROM HUNTING LICENSES HELPS STATE FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENTS PAY FOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS AS WELL AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, HUNTER EDUCATION, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE BEST WAY TO RECRUIT A NEW HUNTER IS TO OFFER NOVICES A DAY AT THE RANGE, TAKE THEM SMALL GAME HUNTING, LOAN THEM GEAR AND EQUIPMENT UNTIL THEY DECIDE WHAT TO BUY FOR THEMSELVES. TEACH THEM SAFETY, ETHICS, AND HUNTING SKILLS, AND HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR FUTURE HUNTING GOALS.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. AS A SAFEGUARD TOWARDS OUR INVESTMENT IN WILDLIFE, WE ALSO PROVIDE MEASURES THAT COMBAT THE SERIOUS CRIME OF POACHING.ADOPT-A-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 ENGAGED 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. THE ADOPT -A-TEAM ENDOWMENT ACCOUNT IS ADMINISTERED BY THE FOUNDATION.DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM-WTU'S DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS AIMED AT PROVIDING LANDOWNERS WITH A BACKGROUND ON THE HISTORY OF WHITETAIL DEER MANAGEMENT, ECOLOGY, AND THEIR UNIQUE HABITATS. THE PROGRAM ALSO FOCUSES ON THE WHITETAIL, AND ENCOMPASSES ASPECTS OF VARIOUS CURRENTLY PRACTICED DEER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE PROGRAM HAS EXPERIENCED A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE FROM OUR NATION'S PRIVATE LANDOWNERS. AN EXTREMELY POPULAR COMPONENT OF THE PROGRAM IS OUR CUSTOM 2-COLOR PROPERTY BOUNDARY SIGN THAT PUBLICLY DISPLAY THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CURRENTLY BEING PRACTICED BY THAT PARTICULAR LANDOWNER. WTU'S LATEST BOOKLET TITLED DEER MANAGEMENT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE TOPICS AND TECHNIQUES INVOLVED WITH TURNING YOUR LAND INTO A MORE ATTRACTIVE HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE, AND HOW YOU CAN BEGIN A MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR WHITE-TAILED DEER. DREAM SHEDS II PROGRAM-THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS BEEN SOLICITED BY COUNTLESS ORGANIZATIONS AND FAMILIES, ASKING IF WHITETAILS UNLIMITED OFFERS ANY ASSISTANCE TOWARDS HUNTING AND FISHING EXPERIENCES FOR CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. TO ANSWER THE CALL, WE DEVELOPED AN INITIATIVE THAT WOULD FOSTER OUR MISSION AND BE SUPPORTED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL BY OUR MEMBERSHIP. 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. OUR UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH CATCH-A-DREAM PROVIDES THE LINK TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT OVER THE PAST SEVENTEEN YEARS HAVE MADE 667 DREAMS COME TRUE. 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 PARTNERS WITH OTHER GROUPS LIKE FARMERS AND HUNTERS FEEDING THE HUNGRY SHARE THE HARVEST, SPORTSMEN AGAINST HUNGER AND OTHERS. FARMERS AND HUNTERS FEEDING THE HUNGRY ALONE DISTRIBUTED 714,000 SERVINGS OF NUTRITIOUS VENISON FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN NEED DURING THIS PAST YEAR. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO MANY COMMUNITIES, AND ARE AN EASY WAY FOR HUNTERS TO HELP BY HARVESTING ANOTHER DEER TO DONATE 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 DETERMINATION AND DESIRE TO FULFILL AN OUTDOOR CHALLENGE.PROJECT POLITE - ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY -NEARLY THREE DECADES AGO, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED LAUNCHED AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM, IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS CONFRONTING REGULATED HUNTING - ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY! IN AN EFFORT TO SOLVE THIS DILEMMA A PROGRAM TITLED PROJECT POLITE, AN ACRONYM FOR PERMISSION OF LANDOWNER IN ORDER TO ENTER WAS DEVELOPED AND UNVEILED TO AMERICA'S HUNTING FRATERNITY. THE PROGRAM 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 HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM REMAINS TODAY BECAUSE CURRENTLY 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 SUPERIOR 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.HUNTING TREE STAND SAFETY INITIATIVE-WHITETAILS UNLIMITED HAS PARTNERED WITH THE TREE STAND SAFETY AWARENESS FOUNDATION TO PROMOTE 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 YOU ARE ABOVE GROUND, YOU ARE IN DANGER AND YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF. 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. AGAIN IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT 99% OF FALL VICTIMS INJURED WERE NOT ATTACHED DURING ASCENT OR DESCENT FROM THE ELEVATED STAND.WHITETAIL WATCH-A PROGRAM CREATED 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. 898486 227335 52889 7887480 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 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 79 0 1 40 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL WI AR GA IL IN IA KS KY MA MI MN MS NH NY OH OK PA RI SC TN WV X KAITLIN DAWIDIUK 9207436777 2100 MICHIGAN AVE STURGEON BAY WI 542350720 PETER GERL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 45.00 X X 177493 0 13587 WILLIAM GERL JR TREASURER 40.00 X X 38545 0 2703 JEFFREY SCHINKTEN PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 59922 0 4240 DAVID J HAWKEY VP - FIELD OPERATIONS 45.00 X 154063 0 12052 DANIEL J VOGT FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 131414 0 10482 DENNIS W MALLOY FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 133589 0 10792 JAMES WILTINGER FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 119077 0 9850 JAMIE MERCKX FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 136090 0 9973 JASON MARASKINE FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 107072 0 8601 1057265 0 82280 7 0 1 0 T-BONE ENTERPRISES 2347 MOBLEY BRIDGE ROAD HOGANSVILLE GA 30230 SPEAKING AND APPEARANCES 148900 1 838167 903031 595486 247849 2336684 MEMBERSHIP DUES 511120 422903 422903 MAGAZINE ADV.
