Trump Jr. big hunter warning vomit producing stuff

Donald Trump Jr. Went to Mongolia, Got Special Treatment From the Government and Killed an Endangered Sheep
During a summer 2019 hunting trip, Donald Trump Jr. killed a rare argali sheep. The Mongolian government issued him a hunting permit retroactively and he met with the country’s president.

Trump Jr. shot his argali at night, using a rifle with a laser sight, the guides said. He stopped the local hunting guides from dismembering it at the kill site, instead instructing them to use an aluminum sheet to carry the carcass so as not to damage the fur and horns, said Khuandyg Akhbas, 50, one of the guides. He also killed a red deer, which similarly required a permit.

about a hunter being eaten by a lion or stomped by an elephant?

Kinda like that but more painful.

it is bad enough he killed an animal that over 60% of its population has dropped off in
the past 40 years but then he just couldn't get enough killing so he had to shoot a deer
too. If Jr. wants to shoot a deer America is overrun w/white tails and that population really
needs thinned out. Right across the river in Anacostia, VA you have some government
property that need the deer population thinned out.


* Sandy Hook made me not want to hunt as much.

4. It's probably safe to say he didn't field dress either animal also.

Maybe a ceremonial knife stick or whacking something off of the red deer for the cameras, but guts? Nah, he does it the Buck McNeely way - let the local "boys" take care of the mess.

Big old male sheep that has run up and down the mountains, eaten the sparse vegetation out on
the Mongolian Steppes, and has had all boy juices run through him might not be prime cut.

The mother fucker has a vineyard in VA so he can shoot all the deer he wants.

killing animals for sport brings. It is so sick and inhumane. I cannot possibly get what it means to these people. I hope against hope that they all get mauled to death by wild animals. It seems to be the only fair response.

7. Why is he sitting on the horse like he is being led around like a little kid?

Also note that he is not the one controlling the horse at all with the reins.

Oh, and he is not a hunter... He just likes killing things to make himself look like a big man.

... backs he would be thrown off in a heartbeat. As per the Mongolian holding the reins ...
he is their big money meal ticket. btw I bet you that if Jr. was out riding with the other Mongolians
dropped his reins that horse wouldn't flinch and just go along with the pack.

BTW those Mongolian horses have really short legs.
