Donald Trump Jr. Receives A Permit To Hunt Alaskan Grizzly Bears
It looks like Donald Trump Jr. found something else to do with his free time when he’s not working with his dad or defending him from Twitter critics. According to the Daily Mail, he has just received a permit to hunt and kill a grizzly bear in Alaska, officials recently shared.
The 42-year-old was granted the permit to hunt north and east of Nome later this year. Now, apparently he was looking to get a license but the Alaska governor limited the number of “dignitary” licenses and game tags that he can hand out. So, he didn’t get one, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said. Instead, he managed to get one of 27 licenses designated for out-of-state hunters in the area.
As many people know, the president’s eldest son is an avid hunter and has made several trips to hunt in Alaska and Canada. He will be able to continue his hunting trips starting August 1 as his permit starts then and will last through May 31, 2021. It was said that since he’s an out-of-state resident, Trump Jr. must be accompanied by a licensed Alaska guide for his hunt.
Officials noted that for state conducts periodic drawings for permits to hunt bears, caribou, moose and other animals in various regions. Winners are chosen by a lottery, and there are typically many more applications than hunting tags awarded.
“We get thousands of applications,’ Eddie Grasser, the wildlife conservation director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said. Whether anyone wins, he said, comes down to ‘pure chance, luck of the draw.”
