Donald Trump Jr spent Saturday in Louisiana on a $5,000-per-head alligator hunt with his girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle to raise money for a local Republican.

The president's son posted an Instagram message hailing a 'great day' out hunting - although it is unclear whether he managed to catch any gators himself.

Earlier he appeared in a Facebook video posted by another attendee in which he thanked Landry for his early support during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump and Guilfoyle, who recently got together, seemed to be enjoying themselves during the day's festivities

'It's just great to come back here because you guys do have the best food in the country,' he told the adoring crowd.

'Jeff's been great, we got to meet on the campaign trail when it was not even popular to be supporting us and he was into what was going on there.

'It's awesome to have guys like this in the state attorney general's office. So I just wanted to come down and thank him, be with you guys and have a great time.'

At that point Landry interjected and appealed to the crowd: 'Ya'll tell him how much we're on the Trump train.'

Attendees paid $5,000 to help Landry in what has become an annual fundraising event

'I like that,' Trump replied after cheers. 'It's a little better than walking down the street in New York. Slightly different response. I like it here.'

Guilfoyle, an attorney and ex-Fox News host, called Landry a 'real winner' and joked that Trump was under pressure for the hunt because 'Mama needs a new pair of boots'.

Later she posted an Instagram video of herself stirring a pot of gator gumbo with Beyonce's Single Ladies in the background.

Trump had Congressman Steve Scalise as his hunting partner during the annual event.

He split from his wife Vanessa in March, and they are in the process of divorcing.

Trump met Guilfoyle after she appeared at a campaign stop in West Virginia with Vice President Mike Pence as part of her new vice president's job with Trump super PAC America First.

The pair have since been regulars on the NYC scene. Days before the gator hunting trip they were pictured together at a party hosted by friend and publicist Anna Rothschild at the Italian restaurant Bice Cucina in NYC.

The Annual Top 100 Uptown Party brought out a number of celebrities including Cuba Gooding Jr, Patty Raynes and Ramona Singer to name but a few.
