AMERICA'S HUNTERS AND TARGET SHOOTERS HAVE AN ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF OVER $112 BILLION AND SUPPORTS NEARLY A MILLION JOBS NATIONWIDE.

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. 1179399 314568 47652 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 637 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 ALSO 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 782,000 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 OUT 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.TREE STAND SAFETY INITIATIVE -WHITETAILS UNLIMITED'S TREE STAND SAFETY INITIATIVE FOCUSES ON A SAFETY LINE AS A KEY COMPONENT OF A HUNTER'S CLIMBING EQUIPMENT. THE REASON BECOMES OBVIOUS WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT OVER 75% OF TREE STAND FALLS OCCUR WHILE ASCENDING OR DESCENDING THE ELEVATED STAND. THE USE OF A SAFETY LINE, ONCE INSTALLED PROPERLY, KEEPS YOU CONNECTED FROM THE GROUND UP, AND BACK DOWN AGAIN. A SAFETY LINE WAS PROVIDED AT "NO-CHARGE" TO ALL CHAPTER EVENTS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR FOR A HAND'S ON REVIEW AND DISCUSSION WITH A WHITETAILS UNLIMITED FIELD DIRECTOR.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. 1179399 314568 47652 7644522 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 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 39 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 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 WI AR GA IL IN IA KS KY MA MI MN MS NH NY OH OK PA RI SC TN WV X X X KAITLIN DAWIDIUK 9207436777 2100 MICHIGAN AVE STURGEON BAY WI 542350720 PETER GERL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 45.00 X X 168356 0 12671 WILLIAM GERL JR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 100321 0 10531 JEFFREY SCHINKTEN PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 62555 0 4088 DAVID J HAWKEY VP - FIELD OPERATIONS 45.00 X 148351 0 11109 DANIEL J VOGT FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 124226 0 10155 DENNIS W MALLOY FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 134355 0 9648 JAMES WILTINGER FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 122330 0 9274 JAMIE MERCKX FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 123868 0 8792 JASON MARASKINE FIELD DIRECTOR 45.00 X 106719 0 8093 1091081 0 84361 8 0 1 0 T-BONE ENTERPRISES 2347 MOBLEY BRIDGE ROAD HOGANSVILLE GA 30230 SPEAKING AND APPEARANCES 198752 1 932894 1027828 480128 232640 2440850 MEMBERSHIP DUES 511120 395772 395772 MAGAZINE ADV.
