Good luck to him.

The "comments" section of the ADN for that article give one an extremely good overview of what Anchorage has become!!!!! Lord help us.....

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?

I read that too. Said most years theres way more applicants than tags.

Russian collusion...

I wondered the same?

Hope he shoots a big bear! Will have the anti's in a tizzy for sure!

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.

I do too!!!

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.

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!

I just hope a triceratops doesn't jump in front of his bear ,
the haters wouldn't let him get away with killing 2 of them .
lol

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

Till Cheney started shooting the other hunters instead of quail.

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.

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!

I missed that part. Thanks for the info!

Excellent, good luck

Anchorage Daily Worker is the Washington Post. ...comes complete with paid Trolls. I don't think many are Alaskans commenting, but in all fairness we do have our idiots too.

Either one of the major trapping orgs or possibly Tman, might want to think about trying to set him up with a wolf hunt somewhere. Just having trappers mentioned as part of a hunt would be good PR, for a group that gets very little unless it's bad PR.

I wouldn't expect him to get involved in trapping, nor would I make it a condition. That's not to say he might not want to learn a little about it.

This to me is maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity, who knows when the next hunting person of his status will come along.

I would also say there is a good possibility you might be inviting a future president on that wolf hunt.

Most of the area is remote. Did not see any reference to lack of trophy bears. That area produces a B&C bear almost yearly. Locals rarely submit skulls to B&C. ADF&G sealing records would better show number of large skulls. I lived in that area for many years.
