Whitetails Unlimited completed its Dream Sheds IV Program which produced more than $65,000 for the Catch-A-Dream Foundation. Since the inception of Dream Sheds in 2012 Whitetails Unlimited has provided grants totaling more than $455,000 to the Catch-A-Dream Foundation through the program.
The Dream Sheds concept began when Mark and Terry Drury, who have produced high-quality hunting videos and television shows for more than 30 years as Drury Outdoors, approached Whitetails Unlimited with an innovative idea. They had collected a large number of exceptional shed antlers from their properties in Iowa and Missouri and were willing to donate them to use as a fundraiser for a worthy cause. Working with WTU, the Catch-A-Dream Foundation was chosen, and the Dream Sheds Program came together. This is now the fourth time Terry and Mark have provided the sheds that make this program successful.
“The response from our attendees is unbelievable,” said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. “It truly is all about the kids when it comes to bidding on these antlers.”
