Calling all hunting aficionados with a few hundred thousand dollars to spare.

Well-heeled supporters of the President-elect will have the opportunity to go hunting with Donald Trump’s adult sons in exchange for spending $500,000 or more on a post-inauguration event in his honor, according to a report from TMZ.

TMZ on Friday published what it said was a draft invitation for a Jan. 21 reception at the Walter Washington Convention Center in downtown Washington, D.C. that offers some wildlife-themed packages to donors, who are encouraged to dress in “camouflage and cufflinks.”

According to that document, “Bald eagle” supporters who spend $1 million will receive a private reception and photo opportunity with the President-elect, as well as a “multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for 4 guests with Donald Trump. Jr. and/or Eric Trump" and a slew of other prizes. Second-tier “Grizzly bear” donors are also offered access to a private reception with Trump and a hunting trip with his sons, who are well-known for their love of hunting big game like elephants and leopards.

1. While bald eagles do catch fish, they happily eat carrion and garbage.

[Botany]

2. I get to hunt Trump's elephant/leopard killing sons for 1/2 a million?

n/t

[bitterross]

5. Funny, that's what I was hoping for.

I think we could start a gofundme and get a half-million each if we got to hunt them.

Too bad sure-shot Scalia is dead and can't shoot them in the face.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. The whole "Uday and Qusay" thing was funny for a while. But now it's getting a little too

damn real for my taste.

[Kennah]

41. Try to take the long view. Remember how it all ends. (n/t)

[CrispyQ]

4. And you can follow it up with coffee with Ivanka for a mere $50K.

[Mr. Evil]

13. Do we get to pussy-grab Melania and her girlfriend for $500? n/t

[SamKnause]

8. You read my mind.

Just ask his "friend" Henry Whittington!

[brush]

32. Would it be in poor taste to hope Cheney comes with his bad aim and just happens . . .

too miss and hit orange?

[jmowreader]

7. I thought "pay for play" and "selling access" was supposed to be BAD

if your name is Trump.

[MrPurple]

15. That's only when your money goes to fight AIDS, if it's used to kill endangered species, it's cool

29. They haven't started yet

I'm sick of trump already. President Obama must not leave.

[JudyM]

33. If only.

[cheyanne]

I thought that the ethics people shut down the auction.

10. Soon it will be

$500,000 and you get to watch them throw handcuffed people off of Trump tower.

Every day there is some new Trump-related assault on everything that is decent in this world.

[procon]

14. Didn't they just try to pull off a similar stunt with their sister, Ivanka?

Grifters. The whole lot of em, nothing but low life, money grubbing grifters.

[JudyM]
