Living A Dream At Wilderness Whitetails
 Few people sacrifice more for their fellow American servicemen and servicewomen! During this Christmas season of giving we would like to share two heartwarming stories where our nation's sportsmen and women say a heartfelt thanks to those that have faithfully served our country!
As an active duty service man, Chad's job requires him to leave the family he loves and cross the ocean to serve our country. It is doubly tough for Chad, since his son Joshua is battling a life threatening illness. With his redeployment in the near future, Chad and his son Joshua attended a trophy buck hunt at Wilderness Whitetails in Rosholt, WI. Joshua harvested an awesome buck scoring 184 7/8 the afternoon of November 6th! Undoubtedly the memory of this tremendous buck hunt will warm the hearts of both father and son during their time apart while Chad serves active duty.
 At Wilderness Whitetails, the spirit of giving was still at work, as their family would like to say a very heartfelt thanks to Ned Seath another true American service man hero. Ned received 4 Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and the Navy Cross in his highly decorated service to our country! As the sun was setting on September 26th, Ned harvested a beautiful buck scoring 174 5/8.
Wilderness Whitetails has certainly gone beyond the call off duty in their ability to bring quality deer hunting trips to those children in need and veterans who have helped make our country the great country that it is!
As a member of a profession that preserves outdoor memories, Dean O'Brien of the Minnesota Taxidermy Guild is mounting Joshua's buck. Ned's buck will be mounted live on stage at the Michigan Taxidermy Association Convention in Grand Rapids, MI in March 2012. We at USSA would like to thank all the donors who helped make a difference in the lives of these servicemen and their families! God bless.
Bio-Tec Research
 Our primary mission is to positively affect the recreational and commercial deer industry as well as our national hunting and fishing heritage. We believe solid scientific conservation principles must be applied in order to preserve our wildlife resource for the next generation. As past history has confirmed; a joint effort of both the recreational and commercial deer industries will provide the best solution for tomorrow's generation of hunters. In addition, hunting, fishing, and farming of all kinds have suffered unprecedented attacks from animal activism. We are committed to silencing the shrill, uninformed voice of the animal extremist who stands in the way of our vision. Bio-Tec's mission is to promote, unite and facilitate that vision to the best of our abilities and resources!
