Veteran hunting guide charged with illegally baiting bear that Donald Trump Jr. killed during 2018 Utah trip
The Utah Attorney General's Office charged 61-year-old Millard County resident Wade Cox Lemon with"wanton destruction of protected wildlife," a 3rd-degree felony. The charge was filed on behalf of the AG's office through the Davis County Attorney's Office.
The witness also said they saw the group hunting with dogs. Both the witness and DWR agents said there was loose straw on a nearby road, which they said is generally used to line the cages of hunting dogs when they are being transported.Lemon's client checked the bear in at a DWR station that day. According to the charges against Lemon, investigators interviewed some of his sub-guides, who said they knew the bear was baited to the area where it was killed that day. One sub-guide confirmed that Lemon"always keeps bear bait spots on this particular property," and that Lemon told him to"get stuff out there" a couple of weeks before the hunt.
The Tribune reports that the DNR confirmed two kills by Trump Jr.: a bear on May 18, 2018, and a cougar on May 19, 2018. Lemon says on his company's website that he specializes in guiding hunts for black bears and mountain lions with his trained hunting dogs. In addition, Wade Lemon Hunting posted photos with Trump Jr. on May 21, 2018, and said they were together to launch an organization called"Hunter Nation."
"The DNR initially investigated allegations of illegal bearbaiting on the hunt in 2018 and closed the case later that year," the investigative report read.
