Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy received items worth more than$ 55, 000 in support of his 2023 looking activities, according to his late filed financial reporting.
Since he was elected government, the governor has frequently accepted donations to help his hunting, but last year’s output exceeded what he had previously reported.
Alaska outfitter Sam Fejes reported giving Dunleavy a guided spring bear hunt and a guided fall bear hunt for a combined cost of between$ 50, 000 and$ 100, 000.
In February of last year, a 10- day bear hunt in May” with specific host Alaska’s Governor Mike Dunleavy” was sold in bidding for$ 25, 000. The bidding was to gain Safari Club International, a pro- hunting party.
Grant Robinson, a spokeswoman for Dunleavy, declined to respond to inquiries about the auctioned kill, including who won and who was present with the government. Fejes did not respond to emails and phone calls seeking details on the chases.
Fejes contributed$ 6, 000 to Dunleavy’s plan ahead of the 2022 election.
When the Legislature called into a unique program in May to complete a finances during the normal 121-day period, Dunleavy was on the lookout for a bear.
Dunleavy was also seen at a Texas dance in February of last year, when an unexplained high-altitude object was shot down off Alaska’s beach.
Instead of responding to questions about the times that Dunleavy was out shooting and who accompanied him on his hunting trips, they asked that the questions be submitted through a proper records request.
Ronnie Urbanczyk and Billy Robinson, both of whom have given Dunleavy hunting-related products in the past three years, gave brilliant shooting excursions from them last year, according to this month’s statement.
Dunleavy reported that Urbanczyk gave him a gun, birds kill, hat, shells, dance seat and jeep- automatic pistol valued between$ 5, 000 and$ 10, 000 last month.
Urbanczyk apparently gave Dunleavy a warmer of sport meat and a brown cowhide in 2022 value a combined$ 310. The year before, Urbanczyk gifted Dunleavy a hunt worth between$ 5, 000 and$ 10, 000.
Robinson gave Dunleavy two firearms and a chartered plane trip last year for a “hunting journey among buddies” worth$ 639.
In addition to the meat processing of two gemsbok white tails worth at least$ 2, 000, Robinson also provided Dunleavy with a taxidermied wildebeest head and horns worth at least$ 1, 000, a gun, a chartered helicopter ride, a taxidermied deer head, and a gemsbok head worth at least$ 3, 000.
The two Texas hunters even contributed big sums to Dunleavy’s 2022 poll plan. Robinson reported contributing$ 26, 000 to Dunleavy’s strategy. Urbanczyk’s family, Terry, reported contributing$ 50, 000.
Dunleavy, an ardent sportsman, has recently suggested establishing a huntable inhabitants of antelope in the Mat- Su Valley. He made an effort this year to transfer the Board of Game authorization for the introduction of aggressive varieties to the governor-appointed director of fish and game. The proposed shift was explained in part as a way to speed up the procedure of introducing species for searching. That test was blocked by the Legislature.
