Whitetails Unlimited Announces 2026-2027 Initiatives

Posted on: Jul 08, 2026

Whitetails Unlimited is proud to announce its Program Service Initiatives for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The four initiatives are the Deer Poster & Target initiative, Clean Optics, Hunt Safely initiative, Donate a Deer Initiative, and Kids on Target, our shooting team initiative. Elements of each of these initiatives, all of which support our overall mission, can be found at our events from July 2026 through June 2027.

At Whitetails Unlimited, education is a very important part of our mission. We're pleased to announce that all members attending a WTU 2026-2027 event will find a pullout poster in the Event Annual with an informative deer poster on one side and Deadnuts Outdoors targets on the reverse side. The dual-purpose poster can be used for learning purposes, displayed in a hunting camp, or used for bow or firearm practice.

Whitetails Unlimited encourages all hunters to practice safe hunting when in the woods or field. One key part of hunting safety is keeping your optics functioning properly and clean so that you can clearly see out of them for identification purposes. With a WTU lens cleaning cloth, you will be able to clean your scope, binoculars, and glasses. In order to help promote safe hunting, all members attending a WTU 2026-2027 event will receive a complimentary lens cleaning cloth.

Whitetails Unlimited encourages all hunters to donate extra venison or other game meat to help provide meals for those in need. There are many state fish and game agencies and nonprofit organizations that help offset the processing costs associated with donated game, and they work with food pantries in their respective areas. For members who want to join our efforts in creating hunter awareness to donate extra venison or other game meat, Donate A Deer decals will be available at WTU 2026-2027 events.

As an advocate for the preservation of the shooting sports, Whitetails Unlimited places major emphasis on shooting sports activities including Kids on Target and our shooting team initiative. These initiatives provide youth with an introduction to archery and firearm fundamentals to help nurture a lifelong interest in the shooting sports, and ultimately, hunting. For members who want to join our efforts by taking a youngster to the range and teaching them the basics of firearm safety and usage, free Kids on Target kits will be available at WTU 2026-2027 events.
