Whitetails Unlimited $1.2 Million Building Expansion

The Whitetails Unlimited national headquarters is expanding, and when construction is finished the addition will allow WTU to continue providing the quality services our membership has come to expect since our founding in 1982. The tentative date of completion is the end of February 2018.

After two months of construction the new 13,872 square foot addition is looking more like a building than a construction site. The $1.2 million expansion project was approved based on a minimum 10- to 15-year plan and adds an additional 11,000 square feet of warehouse/fulfillment, and nearly 3,000 square feet of additional office space to the existing 13,500 square foot facility.

Upon completion, the national headquarters will be able to take advantage of increased efficiency for program services, membership processing, and product receiving and outbound shipping services for events in the fulfillment center. "Our existing building was a huge step forward 13 years ago, but as the number of chapters and the size of events have grown the office area and fulfillment center are approaching capacity," said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. "With the additional room we will be able to reconfigured both areas to be even more productive, as we continue working for an American tradition."


Since our beginning in 1982, Whitetails Unlimited has remained true to its mission and has made great strides in the field of conservation. Thanks to more than 450 chapters, 105,000-plus members, chapter 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 $78 million on program services and activities that continue to enhance, and ultimately foster, our mission.
