Whitetails Unlimited is a staunch supporter of the second amendment, hunter rights, and promoting the sport of regulated hunting. Last fiscal year WTU contributed more than $646,000 in support of various initiatives through the Preserving the Hunting Tradition program.
America’s hunters and target shooters have an economic impact of over $110 billion and support over 866,000 jobs. Hunting is a wholesome family activity that provides outdoor recreation and organic food for millions of U.S. citizens. Major initiatives of Whitetails Unlimited focus on increasing hunting opportunities and providing outdoor experiences to youth, veterans, and the physically challenged.
“Getting people in the outdoors is a primary focus of Whitetails Unlimited, “ says Program Services Director Russ Austad. “Here at WTU, we do everything we can to facilitate that effort.”
