Raffle Prize Offers Killing Animals With Donald Trump Jr.
A hunting advocacy group is offering what it has called a “once-in-a-lifetime” raffle prize of killing elk with Donald Trump Jr., but it has faced some criticism online.
Hunter Nation promoted the chance to win a five-day guided fall hunt in Utah with President Donald Trump’s son ― who it dubbed “the modern-day Teddy Roosevelt” — on Instagram Monday. Tickets cost $10 each.
“You will have to go a long way to find a bigger advocate for our hunting lifestyle and a more passionate hunter and conservationist than Don, Jr.,” the group said on its website.
It called “the opportunity to share a hunting camp” with Trump Jr. as being “truly priceless.”
However, the raffle has sparked anger online ― with some people also taking issue with the Trump Jr.-Roosevelt comparison. Roosevelt, president from 1901 to 1909, was an avid hunter and champion of conservation causes.

Donald Trump Jr, "the modern-day Teddy Roosevelt"?
Theodore Roosevelt was a President of the US, a conservationist, and introduced a number of domestic policies to help the poor. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize. Does that sound like Trump's son? https://t.co/CsN6f98GUO— Darren Adams (@darrenjadams) February 18, 2019
Trump Jr. often shares photographs of his hunting and fishing trips, plus snaps of himself with guns, to Instagram:
He sparked outrage in 2015, when pictures surfaced of himself and brother Eric Trump posing with dead big-game animals on safari in Africa. Pop star Madonna reshared a photograph of the siblings with a dead leopard ahead of the 2016 election. She asked: “How Big of. Pussy Do you have to BE to kill this Noble Animal for sport?”
