The Whitetails Unlimited 2018 Deer Camp Tour will come to end on November 16 in the Buckeye State with WTU hosting a total of 78 deer camps in 23 states this year. This is a considerable increase over 2017 when WTU hosted 65 Deer Camps. WTU’s dedicated membership commands a fair share of credit for the continued growth of the Deer Camp. The Deer Camp Tour sponsors also play an important role with the overall success. In 2018 there were 53 Deer Camp sponsors; for 2019 there are a record-breaking 70 sponsors signed on.
Sponsorship merchandise varies from coolers, optics, and ground blinds to bows, portable heaters, and hunting equipment. This is a perfect venue to display high-quality products from some of the best in the hunting and outdoor industry. For those that attend a Deer Camp, everyone is a winner because all attendees receive a Deer Camp Tour shirt. Over the years, these unique custom-designed shirts have become a collector’s item for many of the event attendees.
“It’s neat to go to a Deer Camp and see so many shirts from previous years,” says Whitetails Unlimited Program Services Director Russ Austad. “It’s become a competition with some of our attendees to see who has the most shirts and how far back they go.”
