Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“Prior to filing the federal tax returns form 990 and 990-t with the internal revenue service both the finance committee also serving the role of the organization's audit committee and board of directors are provided with copies of the return. This provides an opportunity to review, discuss, and approve the current tax returns prior to the actual filing date.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“On an annual basis, all board/committee members and employees of whitetails unlimited are required to review the conflict of interest policy and each individual shall disclose to the organization any personal interest which he or she may have in any matter pending before the organization and shall refrain from participation in any decision on such matter. They must also review a copy of the employee personnel policies which include the whistleblower policy and the organization's code of conduct policy. All employees are required to sign and date a confirmation following review and this is placed in their employee file.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The finance committee is in charge of researching data during their compensation study to confirm that the current compensation (salary & benefits) of the executive director (and other officers and key employees) is fair and reasonable. The data compiled during the annual study includes the following: 1.) information obtained from the irs form 990 filings of similar conservation organizations. 2.) u.s. Bureau of labor statistics. 3.) two other national salary and compensations studies conducted by independent sources. Their conclusion is submitted to the board of directors. In addition, employee performance evaluations are conducted on all employees of the organization. All wage increase recommendations must be formally approved by the board of directors. Historically, annual wage increases have been tied to the consumer price index as a primary reference.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18

THE REVENUE FROM HUNTING LICENSES AND EXCISE TAX ON GUNS AND AMMUNITION FUND STATE FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS AND PAY FOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS AS WELL AS LAW & REGULATION ENFORCEMENT, HUNTER EDUCATION, AND OTHER WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. THE BEST WAY TO RECRUIT A NEW HUNTER IS TO OFFER NOVICES A DAY AT THE RANGE, TAKE THEM SMALL GAME HUNTING, AND LOAN THEM GEAR AND EQUIPMENT UNTIL THEY DETERMINE WHAT TO BUY FOR THEMSELVES. TEACH THEM SAFETY, ETHICS, AND HUNTING SKILLS, AND MENTOR THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR ULTIMATE HUNTING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. |

AT PRIOR EVENTS, WE FEATURED COMPLIMENTARY COMBO PACKS THAT WERE GIVEN AWAY TO MEMBERS CREATING AN AWARENESS OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INITIATIVE. IN ADDITION TO THE COMBO PACKS, EDUCATIONAL POSTERS AT MEMBERSHIP EVENTS AND VARIOUS STORIES IN WTU PUBLICATIONS CONTINUE TO STRONGLY PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF EAR AND EYE PROTECTION WHILE HUNTING AND SHOOTING.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. COMPLIMENTARY SIGNS ARE AVAILABLE AT OUR EVENTS AND UPON REQUEST FROM THE HEADQUARTERS. |
