Mission Statement

To organize and educate deer hunters who believe that sound deer management should encompass:

• The biological needs and scientific concerns of whitetail deer.
• The safe and ethical pursuit of the whitetail deer.
• The improvement of habitat to benefit all the natural inhabitants of the land.
• Improved access opportunities for hunters to land inhabited by deer.
• Education, relating to the positive role hunters play in the natural ecosystem of animal life.
• Retention and recruitment of all generations of ethical hunters.
• Promoting management that will have a positive impact on both the whitetail deer and those that enjoy hunting them.
• The New York State Whitetail Management Coalition is a non-profit organization expressly concerned with whitetail  (OdocoileusVirginianus) conservation.

Our priority is:

“A healthier deer herd, better deer hunting, and a positive footprint for future generations to learn from, and improve upon.”
