Trump Jr.’s Montana prairie dog hunt prompts backlash
Donald Trump Jr. will be targeting more than just Montana’s Republican voters on Friday and Saturday when he helps Greg Gianforte campaign for an open U.S. House seat.

A prairie dog hunt is also on the agenda for the four-city tour for President Donald Trump’s son and Gianforte, a technology entrepreneur up against Democrat Rob Quist in the May 25 election for the seat vacated by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

“As good Montanans, we want to show good hospitality to people,” Gianforte said. “What can be more fun than to spend an afternoon shooting the little rodents?”

I must be a bad person also, because I dream of doing one of these hunts.

Humane Society has a "Prairie Dog Coalition"?! On second though, of course they do. They probably don't have a NYC rat coalition, though, because those rodents affect them.

The way the Montana politician talks isn't helping him, though. "Don't they know how much fun it is?" It very well may be, but putting it that way is only going to alienate the people he needs to swing. How about talking about helping the farmers and helping to control the population?

It's called City Hall.

Prairie dogs are pests whose population in areas has run out of control due the elimination of predators. I used to go play whack a prairie dog often in TX, ranchers there are usually more than happy to be rid of them, Cattle can break a leg in the holes and die there. I used to pop em with my Colt LE6920. Good times.

Screw them...they would have to protest this too.

At least it's not another dinosaur hunt!!

When I was in Colorado..outside Denver...the Guard Air Base was infested with the "dogs"...They had no fear and there were hundreds if not thousands all over the place. Also, south of Denver at the Air Academy, the golf course is infested with huge deer....they also have no fear as you sometimes have to coax them to move to play a shot under the pines.

I wish I had time to care about these types of stories!!!

maybe they need to see what happens when the hay/straw wagon hits a rat hole and your standing on 7 layers of bails .. its not a fun ride when you fall a good 15 to 20 feet with a hook in your hand ..
