Whitetails Unlimited recently granted $689,868 to various mission-related projects during the first quarter of 2025. These grants fall within Whitetails Unlimited’s four pillar programs: Outdoor Education, Hunting Preservation, Habitat Enhancement, and Shooting Sports Advancement which supports their mission. WTU’s Preserving the Hunting Tradition Program, which supports the Second Amendment, hunter rights, and promotion of the sport of regulated hunting, expended the greatest amount of grants, followed by the DEER (Developing Educational and Environmental Resources) Program.

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, women, veterans, and those with disabilities.
