I thought I read am article that said there were like 24 tags available and he was only one of three or four people that applied. Wonder why so few people applied?

Your Anchorage is our Chicago. A very high % of IL is red. I wish JR the best of luck. For those that don't know it Donald Jr hunts,fishes, or camps about every weekend.

If you read the article it said that the area had very few trophy sized bears and was rugged and remote and very expensive to access. Not any ones first choice.

It's gonna be tougher for him to make those hunts after Nikki Haley names him as her VP. I was on the ground when Dick Cheney flew into Stuttgart, AR to shoot a limit of ducks. They can make it happen, but it's tough. Ha. Cheney didn't shoot anyone on that trip. laugh

Cheney used to come to a couple local plantations twice a year to quail hunt. I worked with the SS and Whitehouse communications setting up whatever they needed. That was always a cool experience.
Hope Jr finds a trophy!

WB...Retired Navy EOD here. We swept the routes and venues before the Secret Service posted watchstanders. Small world.

What liberals don't under stand is we are going to have Trump in 2024 as well. Trump Jr I think has more favor than his dad.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Don Jr. drew DB685. That allows him to hunt in units 22C and 22B. As a non resident, he is required to hire a guide to hunt brown/grizzly bear. I saw some posts on Facebook that led me to believe he has contracted with Tom Gray of Nome. The area regularly produces B&C bears. It used to be a great spring bear hunt but warming has made it difficult to access the country on snogo when bears are out of the den. Fall hunts are with boat or ATV. I worked for a guide out of Koyukuk years ago whose clients often took big bears. One guy had the B&C record for several years at 27 and 2/16ths in. Record is now 27 and 5. I think.
Will be interesting to read the hoopla on FB when he arrives in Nome.

Haha!! The electronic perimeter security they’d deploy kept them boys on the move all night. Day 2 I came back and them boys had no sleep and spent the entire night chasing deer, lol. I remember on one of those visits there was a gorgeous SS agent. Only reason I remembered her, other than her looks, was she brought me a biscuit!

And thank you for your service!
