Donald Trump Jr was back in action on Thursday, with the first son spotted walking into work at Trump Tower after a week away from the Big Apple.
The father-of-five, 40, has been off hunting in the Yukon Territory, taking the same trip he did last time at this year with friends including Jason Hairston, the founder of the hunting gear line KUIU.
Donald Jr traded in his camouflage gear for a more sensible and far more colorful suit on Thursday, but did keep one reminder of the trip in the form of his full beard.

It was a successful trip this year for Don Jr and his friends, who managed to catch a number of Great Northern Pike and two big-horned sheep during their hunt.
Matt Forsyth, who was once agains joining Don Jr on the trip, posed with the slain sheep for a photo on Instagram, writing: ‘One of our two stud rams from last week! Congrats to @jasonmhairston on his BEAUTIFUL sheep!! Trip of a lifetime!’
Hairston also posted a photo with the other slaughtered sheep, stating: ‘We covered a lot of miles over 6 hard days before my Guide Brad Alexander found this heavy 10 year old ram bedded alone in a basin.’
Don Jr did not share those photos, and elected instead to share images of the fish he caught on the trip.
That decision was no doubt related to the backlash he received over photos of himself and brother Eric from a hunting trip in Africa, where Don Jr held an elephant’s tail in one picture and posed next to his brother Eric while he bear hugs a dead cheetah in another image.
The emergence of those photos and others led to much outcry, and since that time Don Jr has elected to keep photos of his bigger kills private.

He did not keep the emergence of his new beard a secret however, and asked his followers if he should continue with the grow or get rid of his new facial hair in an Instagram post.
‘I brought back some scruff as a souvenir. Maybe I should keep it??? LMK your thoughts,’ wrote Don Jr on Instagram.
The comments in response to Don Jr inquiry were very divided, and at times very vulgar.
He did not shave the beard in the end, giving his followers a better look at his growth in a video posted soon after his returns as he cooked dinner for his kids.
Don Jr is dating former Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfioyle in the wake of his separation from wife of 13 years Vanessa.
The couple has remained on good terms and even arrived together for their first appearance in court last month, and Vanessa has made comments on social media suggesting that she approves of the relationship between her estranged husband and Guilfoyle.
