You cannot hunt on the King’s land.

Remember, those are the King’s deer.

I was talking about this yesterday, theres a whole lot of federal land and seasons just really getting started. It was just a matter of time before they figured this one out. Screw anybody and everybody you can and make it hurt. If this continues theres going to be a bunch of pissed off hunters.

So what?

Are conservatives going to cower in fear forever as the government strips them of all rights

"Lets all willingly get into the cattle cars on the way to the FEMA camps. We wouldn't want to provoke the government."

Lots of pissed-off hunters, who tend to be average joe’s with possibly union jobs, who may think twice about supporting democrats

(unless they buy that it is all republicans fault- there are some really stupid people out there)

A lot of people could go hungry this Winter if they don’t get some food in the freezer right now.

Though I suspect if the Feds can’t keep people off the Mall in Washington, they are going to have a harder time keeping people from hunting in Alaska.

Obongo’s slugs with guns only acknowledge orders laid down by him and certainly not laws made by dead people, such as Our Founders. Obongo set that precedent and it will be a hard one to shake in the future.

In Alaska, if it is the law and armed people attack you, they are doing so illegally meaning you should defend yourself. In this case the hunters are obviously armed.nit WILL happen.

Give them a few months and they’ll be the ones screaming the loudest about too many deer or whatever animals and then it’ll be the GOP’s fault all over again.

Alaskan authorities ought to arrest the Federal agents breaking the law. If they're serious. If not shut up and sit down.

We never bought steak. When deer season came, we had deer meat for breakfast, lunch and supper.

this federal overreach shows states and private groups and all citizens which lands and resources they must reclaim to curb tyranny, in this case wholly directed by ONE MAN

Authorities?
How about a local militia?

Some of these feds could be “dropped off” a few miles out in the tundra to make their way back.... or not.

The hunters should just tell the feds that theyre illegal aliens demanding amnesty. Then the feds would have backed off.
