Whitetails Unlimited recently granted $12,175 to the Harold Hoey Memorial Fund located in Nelson, Missouri. The fund focuses on helping outdoor-centered endeavors in Saline County, Missouri such as hunter safety, youth shooting sports, and local youth deer hunts. They also help local chapters of nationally based organizations like NWTF and the NRA.

Whitetails Unlimited’s Preserving the Hunting Tradition Program supports the organization’s outdoor and environmental education programs through FFA and 4H shooting sports as well as Share the Harvest program which impacts 200 people annually.

The fund was named after deceased Missouri Conservation Officer Harold Hoey. Harold’s grandchildren started the memorial fund honoring their late grandfather in 1998. Since then, the fund has contributed more than $150,000 to conservation in Saline County.
