Locals on Hawaiian island 'agog' as Trump Jr. rolls in for deer hunt
The Honolulu Civil Beat reports that Donald Trump Jr. was on Lanai over the weekend for some deer hunting, and that folks at the laid-back Blue Ginger Cafe 'were agog when a small fleet of black SUVs and a large presence of security guards showed up.'
The island of Lanai boasts the planet's highest density of free-ranging Axis deer. Regulated hunting is allowed as a means of managing deer numbers.
Trump Jr. is the celebrity host of a Lanai hunt sold at auction by the Dallas Safari Club, but precise dates of the hunt were not made public. (The image showing Trump Jr. dressed in camouflage was used to promote the auction.)

The hunt, according to the Honolulu Civil Beat, was organized by Pineapple Brothers, a Lanai outfitter run by a former Navy SEAL member and a retired FBI agent.
From the Pineapple Brothers website: 'Hunters can expect to see hundreds of deer daily, and will spot and stalk either in a large, flat plain known locally as 'the Serengeti,' or in steep, mountainous regions.'
It was not clear who paid thousands to hunt on Lanai with the president's eldest son, who is an avid big-game hunter.
