Whitetails Unlimited Metro Area MN Chapter

Whitetails Unlimited Metro Area MN Chapter has been part of the Saint Paul community for over three decades, working to preserve whitetail deer habitats and the hunting heritage tied to them. Founded in 1992—a decade after the national organization started—this chapter operates as a working conservation nonprofit rather than a retail operation.

The chapter's mission centers on three pillars:

• •Conservation advocacy for whitetail deer populations and habitat preservation
• •Community events that bring hunters together and fund conservation efforts
• •Hunter education through articles and resources on whitetail behavior and hunting success

Their flagship event happens every April. In 2025, they're hosting the 33rd Annual Membership Banquet on Saturday, April 5th at The St. Croix Event Center in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota.

The evening runs: - 5:00 p.m. – Social hour with games and raffles - 7:00 p.m. – Dinner

• •What you're bidding on: Firearms, outfitter packages, hunting gear, outdoor equipment, artwork, and collectibles. Every purchase goes directly to conservation funding.

The chapter participates in WTU's national drawing program, where banquet winners enter contests for major prizes:

Barnett Crossbow Drawing – 12 Barnett Hyper Raptor Crossbows with CCD ($699.99 each)

Joining connects you to a network of Minnesota deer hunters. Membership includes event discounts and a year of affiliation with the national conservation mission.

The chapter maintains educational content on whitetail behavior, hunting success strategies, and practical deer hunting facts for both experienced and new hunters.
