Donald Trump Jr. urges hunters to vote for his father

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Donald Trump Jr. released a new video on Wednesday encouraging hunters and other outdoorsmen to vote for his father next month. The president’s son, an avid hunter himself, highlighted moves by the Trump administration to make public lands more accessible for sportsmen.

“Make sure you recognize what’s actually gone on. Make sure that you realize that Donald Trump has delivered for you,” Trump said in the video posted to Twitter.

The Trump administration has made significant moves to expanding hunting and fishing access. It recently opened up or expanded hunting and fishing at nearly 150 national wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries and has eased restrictions on hunting bear cubs and wolf pups at national preserves in Alaska.

Some conservationists have opposed these measures, as well as actions taken by the administration to shrink or remove protections from national monuments including the Bears Ears National Monument, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.

WTF says stuff like that. It's like he's saying, "Don't believe your own eyes, and just believe what I am telling you." Do people really fall for this stuff? Um...yea...never mind.

if what you're shooting has no habitat left because of increased logging and/or oil and gas company drilling. Used to be hunters were conservationists who recognized you needed to preserve animal habitat to be able to hunt the game you're interested in. I can't imagine Don Jr actually wading out into the field at o-dark hundred chasing deer on the first day of hunting season or spending the night in an unheated cabin with an outhouse just to get a jump on the other hunters.

Worse than Sarah Palin shooting wolves from a helicopter.

I really hope Joe will put wildlife refuge restrictions BBT (Back Before Trump).

and it would be tempting to ask if they are voting for the idiot and then say "sorry no camping on this property then," but in general I don't talk politics with the locals and I sure don't need anymore vandalism than I will be getting just for putting signs up.
