Donald Trump Jr. bags pheasants with Rep. Steve King on opening day in northwest Iowa

[bathroommonkey76]

Akron, Ia. — Game birds were flushed, shotguns were fired and frisky dogs were busy retrieving their prey Saturday as Donald Trump Jr. joined a group of outdoorsmen for the opening day of Iowa's pheasant hunting season.

Amid crisp October temperatures that dipped below freezing Saturday morning along the Iowa-South Dakota border, the president's son hunted with U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Kiron, and about 30 others clad in blaze orange at the Hole N' the Wall Lodge near Akron in northwest Iowa's Plymouth County.

Reporters who observed Trump Jr. from a short distance saw a pheasant emerge in flight near him in a field of tall grass. He pivoted towards the bird, fired his single-barrel shotgun, and feathers flew as the bird dropped to the ground. Trump Jr. wasn't available to talk with the media afterwards, but he reportedly shot at least three or four other pheasants earlier in the morning.

"He is a very, very good shot," remarked King. "It was a beautiful, clear day in Iowa and the sky was so full of feathers that one could be convinced that the angels were having pillow fights."

I substituted "peasants" for pheasants and it sounded a lot more plausible.

4. I love how this group of NYC grifters now feel at home with the craziest RW yokels.

And all it took was a little flattery.

5. "It was a beautiful, clear day in Iowa and the sky was so full of feathers...

that one could be convinced that the angels were having pillow fights."







Well yeah, other than the maimed and dying carcasses of one of God's creations destroyed for your amusement...I sometimes wish I could call these guys "christians" with the same contempt implicit when muslims call them "infidels"...

10. I've been pheasant hunting here in Wisconsin.

Looks like everything was legal in this Iowa hunt.

And pheasant is rather tasty!

11. It wasn't the fact that he was pheasant hunting, it was the words that

were so disgusting. "...like the angels were having a pillow fight."

He is a very, very good shot," remarked King. "It was a beautiful, clear day in Iowa and the sky was so full of feathers that one could be convinced that the angels were having pillow fights."

13. These aren't wild roosters

These are pen raised birds. They are slow and stupid. It's like shooting chickens.

And on edit, that's an automatic not a single shot. Bit can shoot five shells unless plugged down to three
