Trump slams elephant hunting..(!)

[LivingTheDream]

I got my elephant during the ban. It was an awesome hunt and I would do it again. Honestly even if legal I probably wouldn't import due to the amount of paperwork and hassle.

An importation ban shouldn't impact someone's desire to hunt. Hell the ban made it affordable.

I'm with @Royal27 ,

I think I'll be going after jumbo sooner than later regardless of import ban. If anything I'll get a better deal!

That's the sad thing really.... Elephants lose and we win (personally).

When the ban lifted I had the thought that elephant hunting was likely a one and done for me, but now that importation is banned again it may not be. Time will tell.

This



Plenty of changing the vote screaming on FB, likely where Marius saw it as I know we are in some of the same groups.

Totally agree on the U.S. thinking it can micromanage the world. Or really, it's the U.S. micromanaging the world because it can.

Exactly what I am talking about.

Me think you people have some lame excuses on behalf of your (beloved) President..

Nothing wrong with non-trophy hunting....done it frequently, but the affluent, who made this industry ticking demand their trinkets, like it or not. I enjoy the hunt itself immensely but a permanent ban is in my opinion the road to peridition ie the antis will gain support and the whole thing will dwindle down to nothing and the poaching will increase....Kenya revisited.

What will be banned next..??

While I will be disappointed if the ban remains in place, would you have preferred we voted for Hillary? As far as blaming Trump for anything that Europe decides to do, are the Europeans really so easily controlled? Do they not think for themselves and take responsibility for their own decisions?

 

[Pondoro]

You know perfectly well that this is one major signal to the rest of the world....do not pretend otherwise. You people toted during the election process that Trump would be the Guardian of hunting....yeah right...

You know what happens when the game loose its value, dont you..?

I urge you to make DSC and SCI to try to turn this...otherwise the elephant will be the loser..

 

[Pondoro]

The man is populistic like a windvane...that is the sad truth IMHO..

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

You people toted during the election process that Trump would be the Guardian of hunting....yeah right...

Because that is what the American people had in mind when they cast their ballots.....hunting. Forget about what he will do for the USA, reverse the damage done from the previous 8 years, push the stock markets to record highs, cut unemployment, start looking after veterans etc etc etc.

And once again I'll ask, would you have preferred Hillary? Or are you going to dodge the question again?

This wasn't the first time that the U.S. has gone above and beyond CITES while the "rest" of the world did not. If wherever you're from, I believe Norway, decides to cut off imports because the U.S. did, then you have pathetic leadership. Don't blame us for that.

America has become corrupted in the last few years. People that think critically and don't drink the media koolaid understand this. They may not be able to identify specific things or the amount of the corruption, but they comprehend and understand that it is there. A Hillary presidency would have continued this corruption.

This corruption is slowly being exposed over the past few months. More will be exposed in the next few months. America and the world will see the corruption and be revolted. Sunlight is a great disinfector.

Our Republic stood on the fulcrum in 2016. The 2016 election determined if the rule of law would reign or if the Republic would fall apart. (If you think I am being over dramatic, wait to see what is about to come out)

Somethings are much more important than ivory importation.

No doubt!

Applies to two countries only, both with known problems.

 

[Pondoro]

And once again I'll ask, would you have preferred Hillary? Or are you going to dodge the question again?

No I would not have preferred Hilda, but that is not the point here. She lost and Trump became POS. Now Trump has gone anti in a populistic way...and that is very dissapointing since he is a republican President.

So blame Trump Sir...

Don’t give up on the hunt after the first blown stalk. If not this president then the next one. Zimbabwe needs to go to work and be like Namibia.

"Donald Trump spits in the face of african hunters" . . . "Donald Duck is a populist without balls and a moral compass" . . . "you people have some lame excuses on behalf of your (beloved) President". . . "She (Hillary) lost and Trump became POS"

Yessiree, to hell with the American economy, national debt, out of control illegal immigration, the rule of law, a punitive healthcare system, the defense budget and a shrinking military, etc., and so forth. Good Americans, and certainly all hunters, should worry only about elephant hunting and trophy import.

I'm glad to have been straightened out on all that so I can adjust my priorities and focus on a single issue in the voting booth the next time around.

And don't forget that 8 year "apology tour" our last president went on.............

Guys,
I'm just on my way out, so won't see the replies for a while. Hope that I don't get stoned for this, but please keep the following in mind.
We all love hunting. I made it my livelihood. I support anything towards hunting, and although Zimbabwe/Tanzania importation to the USA has nothing to do with me as a South African, I still support it.

Just because of his stance, does not make him a bad President. He has done a hell of a job for your country thus far. Before you start shouting about how this will change your vote at the next election, just be still for a while and think about your response. When you sat in the voting booth making your mark, was your first though that you are voting for Trump, hoping he would reopen Elephant hunting, or was your thought that he was the guy that was going to make the USA the power it use to be.

Careful drinking that Coolaid...
