Whitetails Unlimited's Project POLITE Builds Trust Between Hunters and Landowners
Wallet-sized card makes exchanging information easy; landowners know who is on their land.
With hunting season just around the corner, finding places to hunt can be a chore for hunters, and a distraction for many landowners. WTU's Project POLITE can be a simple tool for making hunter access more successful.
Project POLITE Hunter-Landowner ID Cards are an easy way to exchange names, addresses and phone numbers, greatly increasing the trust and understanding for both hunters and landowners. Supported in part by Winchester Ammunition, the paper cards are simply filled in with contact information and provided to each other. "This is a very simple way to elevate the level of trust for landowners, allowing them to know exactly who is on their land," said WTU Executive Director Pete Gerl. "For hunters, this is an easy way to build a file of possible hunting locations for the future, and also provides an easy way for the hunter to send a thank you to the landowner."
A set of five cards and a Tyvek® envelope are available free of charge by contacting WTU national headquarters at (920) 743-6777.
Since the program's inception more than 20 years ago, WTU's Project POLITE has opened up over one million acres to the sport of regulated hunting.
For landowners that want to make their land available to hunters, Project POLITE's bright green Hunting With Permission signs will provide potential hunters with a name and phone number to contact for permission to hunt on posted land. The sign makes it clear that permission must first be granted by the landowner. For hunters, the sign avoids the time consuming process of trying to find out who owns a particular piece of land; and landowners who allow hunters on their land find this an easy way to have hunters contact them. This component of the program is also generously supported by Winchester Ammunition.
Quantities of the 11 x 14-inch signs are available at a reasonable cost by contacting WTU national headquarters at (920) 743-6777.
Companies interested in participating with WTU in a program like Project POLITE can contact Kevin Devault at WTU national headquarters (800) 274-5471.
