Donald Trump Jr. one of only 3 people who wants to legally kill an Alaskan grizzly bear this year

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/donald-trump-jr-one-of-only-3-people-who-wants-to-legally-kill-an-alaskan-grizzly-bear-this-year/

According to a report from Reuters, Donald Trump Jr. has been awarded an out-of-state permit from Alaska to hunt and kill a grizzly bear this year making him one of only three who applied for one of the 27 permits available.

The report states the son of President Donald Trump has “been granted the right to hunt a grizzly bear in northwestern Alaska near the Bering Sea town of Nome, a state official said on Friday.”

“The son of U.S. President Donald Trump was one of three people who applied for 27 spots for non-resident hunters targeting grizzlies in a designated region of northwestern Alaska’s Seward Peninsula, said Eddie Grasser, the wildlife conservation director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,” the report continues with Grasser adding, “We get thousands of applications” and that it comes down to “pure chance, luck of the draw.”

Most of those applications are for hunting caribou, moose and other animals throughout the state.

The report goes on to note that few are actually interested in killing a grizzly bear, stating, “there was little competition. Twenty-four tags for hunting bears in that region went unclaimed, Grasser said.”

Though I'm rooting for Mother Nature, myself. And honestly it wouldn't matter who it was, I still would.

He parked his Secret Service detail in a Trump hotel in Vancouver when he went after his trophy sheep in Canada.

The Stone Sheep hunt in BC with Junior



The Dall Sheep hunt in the Yukon with Junior


Note: Jason Hairston, founder of KUIU, took his own life a week after the hunting trip with Junior, and this was just after Junior landed him a position with the federal government at the Department of the Interior, where he served as a liaison between the agency’s former head Ryan Zinke and sportsmen’s groups on issues such as conservation and public lands.

Unless he is a really good shot, shooting a grizzly only get them mad. Seeing an injured but pissed off bear gaining on a scared shitless Jr in a chase would be a Darwinian moment I couldn't wait to see.

I'm sure he'll have guides with him to anchor it if it decides to charge him before it bleeds out. More likely it'll try to run away or claw at the wound trying to understand it.

Actually, to make it a fair fight, I'd like to see a one-one match, gladiator style, in an arena with Junior Trump and a grizzly bear. I wouldn't even leave Trump with no implements at all. I'd allow him a comb and some hair gel.
