Politics or no politics, I thought it was very interesting.

I enjoyed listening to it.

Thank you for posting it.

Trump raised some great kids, evidenced by this interview! Very interesting and thanks for posting, enjoyed it! Wyatt

My bad: Jr is a bowhunters.Cool.

From: Skeets
Date: 11-Jan-16




Very interesting. Funny how a city person from a rich family can end up getting involved in hunting and traditional archery even though their parents didn't hunt.

From: Michigan Hunter
Date: 11-Jan-16




Interesting to hear him talk about how he enjoys traditional archery.

From: Steve Milbocker
Date: 11-Jan-16




Its pretty rare these days to find a member of the elite in this country that shares the love of the outdoors with us common folk.Don Jr sounds like a genuinely nice guy.Great interview Pat.

From: reddogge Professional Bowhunters Society - Qualified Member
Date: 11-Jan-16




Very interesting. I didn't listen to every segment but what I did was interesting. I didn't find any politics at all in the listings.

He apparently goes on the forums so I'd like to think something I posted proved to be interesting or helpful to him.

Sounds like a great guy.

From: George D. Stout Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 11-Jan-16




Good to know. Appreciate the heads-up Pat.

From: Recurve Crafter ™ Professional Bowhunters Society - Associate Member Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 11-Jan-16




Steve Milbocker quote: "Don Jr sounds like a genuinely nice guy."

That was my take too.

He comes across as very genuine and down to earth with a sincere passion for the outdoors and hunting.

It was a great interview.

From: Sipsey River
Date: 11-Jan-16




Trump's son bought a used recurve bow from a friend of mine a few years ago.

From: GLF
Date: 11-Jan-16




He seems pretty down to earth. Nice to know traditional archery can be fun for people from all walks of life.

From: David Mitchell Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 11-Jan-16




Excellent interview. I would like to meet the guy. Thanks to Bowsite/Leatherwall for posting the interview.

From: RymanCat
Date: 11-Jan-16




Don't have anything to do with politics it has to do with Jr. being a trad archer which is great. I knew he was hunter but didn't know this and now we do.

Thanks Pat have to go over there and check it out. This is great could it be the presidents son. Wow LOL

From: Mike Etzler
Date: 11-Jan-16




nice interview Pat,, thanks.

From: Stix

Thanks for posting this!!! He has shown Donald Trump has shown his interest conservation by joining some of the hunter/conservation groups. He is a good guy.

From: BACK YARD

Thanks Pat,good stuff.His dad is not my favorite but he raised a good son. I enjoyed the interview Best regards to all

From: gluetrap
Date: 11-Jan-16




didn't listen to all, but agree with him on the forums being a big help on the learning curve...ron

From: dean
Date: 11-Jan-16




With not being able to mention politics on any forums, it keeps those that know particular things only being able to preach to the choir. I had heard that Donald senior has eaten venison. I imagine, that some would think it is high class over the top eclectic dining like pheasant under glass, not knowing that it came from his down to earth son. But then again, those of us that eat a considerable amount of wild game and fish are eating high class over the top eclectic food. That will give the peta and elite liberals something stir over.

From: Gary Miller
Date: 11-Jan-16




I feel better about Mr. Trump as times goes on. Glad to know a politician running for our highest office has the courage to fight for common sense without being ashamed of being an American. Seems like he raised a pretty solid and mature son. Great to have an avid hunter with access to the man's ear.

From: jimwright
Date: 11-Jan-16




Gee, I was worried there for a minute that this might be a political endorsement but then I clicked on the interview and saw the last segment was "what would Donald trump's presidency do for us millions of hunters?" Set my mind right at ease, just a good old boy shootin' the breeze, I'm almost embarrassed to have thought it might have been politically motivated.

From: roger
Date: 11-Jan-16




First, I actually listened to all segments of the interview and hope everyone else who has or decides to opine did/does as well. Shouldn't have to say that, but ahhhh, you know how things can get around here. :)

Pat, the interview was very well done and I mean that. Did not take it as a reflection of management's politics(as some allude), but rather a frank discussion with an obviously knowledgeable interviewer and interviewee. Trump's not faking it guys, the man knows his stuff and that's a good thing.

I sure don't think it hurts to have a person of some notoriety or another helping in some positive way in support our lifestyle and related causes. To be staunch, articulate, educated and vocal with a podium handy can be a really good thing for all involved.

For a man who grew up in the lap of luxury, he sure does appear genuine at heart and doesn't shy away from his heritage, family and friends. In some ways or others, I'm certain most, if not all here can identify. Really.....I'd hunt with him any day.

From: Deno
Date: 11-Jan-16




I listened to the entire interview and was really impressed with Jrs passion for hunting and passing it on to his kids. Seems like an alright guy to me. Always willing to learn. Deno

From: longrifle
Date: 11-Jan-16




He's a member on another familiar Trad site. His posts are just like most of ours, pretty much down to Earth, always questions politely...if that makes any sense. IOW, extremely low key and definitely not what most people would ASSUME...

From: scienceguy
Date: 11-Jan-16




Great interview. I'd hunt with the guy.

From: Kodiak

Very impressive young man.

good interview! It sounds like Don is getting to spend quality time with his children in the great outdoors.

From: Keefers
Date: 11-Jan-16




That was a great interview Pat. and he has good values instilled in him. Must have a great Father who has tought him very well. Just what being a true American is all about.

From: shade mt

Gotta give that one a thumbs up.

From: Tim M
Date: 11-Jan-16




I listed to the entire interview and liked it. I like that he jokingly said he would want to be part of the Department of the Interior. Maybe someday we can hunt bison in the National Parks :>)

From: tinecounter
Date: 11-Jan-16




Thanks Pat for the informative interview. In life, additional knowledge is always welcome. I did not see this interview as an “endorsement.”

From: Tedd
Date: 11-Jan-16




Excellent interview and he sounds like one of us. Tedd

From: TGbow
Date: 11-Jan-16




Thanks for the interview. I'm sure he will catch some flack from the media.

From: Tdwhip
Date: 11-Jan-16




That was a great interview. He sounds like the kind a guy that would offer to lend you a hand packing your elk out from deep in the bush. I would share my campfire with him.

From: Fred Arnold
Date: 11-Jan-16




I'm thrilled that you were able to arrange that interview Phil. You did an excellent job and so did Don.

I'm a firm believer in the old adage 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".

I'm not so sure about his dad yet but he must have had one heck of a good mother!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the interview.

From: Stan Asby
Date: 11-Jan-16




Hah! Who knew? Great interview!

From: deerfly
Date: 11-Jan-16




Great interview Pat, thanks for doing this and posting it up. I've seen interviews in the past with Trump Jr and Eric too, so this was no real surprise, well except for maybe the part about him liking his BW bow, lol. Regardless, its nice to hear his take on the things we all love and hold dear. I would share a campfire with him anytime.

Like it or not, this says a lot about Sr too. It's pretty obvious he raised a fine young man, well grounded, articulate and unassuming. Probably not what most would expect or assume from a multi-billionaire family...

From: Elkhuntr

From: kybownut

I enjoyed the interview, it just happened to be the son of Donald Trump. He certianly seemed sincere in his answers.

From: Iktomi
Date: 11-Jan-16




Great interview, and Jr. seems like a real nice kid. I still don't think much of Sr., and won't be voting for him :)

From: Don
Date: 11-Jan-16




Thanks Pat. See you Bob

From: Graysquirrel
Date: 11-Jan-16




If you do a google search on him youbwill find he hunts a lot, with trad stuff. I have visited with him on that other site. Talked to him and sold him a riser. He's a goid fellow. Down to earth

Its truely a shame some mouth off before they actually find out what is going

Bye Bob

Good thread Pat thanks for posting. Didn't know that Donald Trump's Son was bow hunter. How isn't that archery related?

From: JParanee
Date: 11-Jan-16




Wow

I really liked a lot of his answers

Thank you

From: RLA
Date: 11-Jan-16




Real good interview, he seems like a nice enough guy & very articulate spokesman for bow hunters rights. I think most if not all of us on this site enjoy the right to hunt & or own arms. That in itself should put most if not all of us on common ground politically. Political correctness has darn near destroyed this Country & the time for silence is no more.

From: newell38

Don Jr is a great guy. I'm honored to know him through a few past bow dealings. I'm glad this was posted!

From: Wild Bill
Date: 12-Jan-16




Bob,

"My comment had nothing to do with whether I personally endorse Donald Trump."

REALLY? That's the la la logic many people are tired of being force fed.

Pat,

Great interview, thank you.

Guys,

You have to understand that the bond we have as traditional bowmen doesn't go beyond, to some of the more important issues of life. Remember the pictures of Paul Ryan, the bow hunter? His wise choice of hunting gear doesn't insure his stance on political truth and moral integrity, any more than it does your own.

From: TGbow
Date: 12-Jan-16




He just happens to be the son of a political candidate. I personally congratulate anyone in the public domain that has the back bone to not let the slanted media sway his decision to be a hunter. Thanks for the interview!

From: overbo
Date: 12-Jan-16




For anyone that sees Trump as a terrible candidate for President, should take in consideration this article. We all know Sr's political incorrect is very brash but someone installed the values and direction in JR.

Pat I listened to all the interviews and thought what a fine young person this is. He has had some good up bringing and is doing the same to his family. I sure don't find that offensive and cannot see anything political about it. He like all of us works and looks forward to his outdoor hunting trips. I sure am not offended by that possibly a little jealous as he seems to have more toys than me. ha

From: letrwalk
Date: 12-Jan-16




He's Hired!

From: Billy Shipp
Date: 12-Jan-16




I enjoyed the interview. He's just another passionate hunter and fellow trad archer. What difference does it make who his Daddy is? Thanks for posting.

From: Bowlim
Date: 12-Jan-16




If I had his money, I would do more DIY. Just because you have money, no reason to miss out on the good stuff. Why go do a guided hunt when you could own the same area if you were Ted Turner. And i wouldn't pass up on stuff I enjoy like fly tying if I could do it.

I'm joking a bit about Ted Turner, but in the real world, if you are poor, you do it yourself; if you are rich you join a club, or hire a guide; But if you are really rich like the Royal family you have your own hunting lands (just as lots of us do), and it is back to doing it yourself. If you are Puttin you can do it in National Parks...

From: WV Mountaineer
Date: 12-Jan-16




He's a man like all others who enjoys traditional archery. Certainly no different from you and I. And, only elite if you are one of the people in this world that categorize others on income. He's just a guy that shares the like for traditional hunting. It doesn't make him special. Nor does his income. God Bless men

From: Skeets
Date: 12-Jan-16




Pat that was interesting. Like I said before he came from wealthy parents and from the city. I know because my aunt lived 2 doors from his family and my uncle was a plumber and worked as a sub contractor on Trump projects. My cousins don't hunt. But Donald Trump's son does. I think that's great that he came came from this background and got into hunting. I wish we could get more people to do that. It's a better lifestyle for young people than running around all night and getting into trouble and drugs.

From: DJTJR
Date: 12-Jan-16




Thanks for the great comments guys I'm glad you liked the interview. As I said in there somewhere the outdoors has been good to me and kept me out of a lot of outer trouble I could have gotten into growing up, so when I get a chance to try to represent it in a positive light and get others into it I always do my best. I'm just trying to make sure the same outdoor opportunities I had growing up are there for my 5 kids and their kids after them, so they can get the same benefits from it that I did.

Reddogge: I have been here and elsewhere for a while so I very well could have learned form you as I have from others and I hope some of my commentary has helped others too. Being self taught Trad I've made all the mistakes in the book but when you struggle and figure out how to fix it you tend not to forget.

Greysquirlle: thanks and i still have it.

I also posted this on the BG forum as there is another thread there so forgive the double post. All the best, Don

ditto - Thank you Donald Jr for representing our community so well. Ethical and passionate outdoors men and women are the finest people on earth and it's all too rare to be represented so well by highly visible people as yourself and your family. Again, thank you and I hope your dad goes all the way.

From: Mike Mecredy
Date: 12-Jan-16




I enjoyed it, and I must say...

Sorry Pat, and Bob Rowlands, for my earlier comment, it was meant to be a joke, an it was removed, as it should have been, but in retrospect I can see how it was hurtful. I should never have mentioned "her" and Bob in the same statement.

But Don Jr. isn't running for office, so this isn't political, he's simply a somewhat well known guy who digs on traditional archery and the outdoors> Sort of like the post about Genna Davis and her Olympic archery pursuits.

From: Kelly
Date: 12-Jan-16




Thank you Pat and Don JR. It's about time that we get our passions out in front of the rest of Americans.

Hope Plenty Coup is still treating you well, Don or is Eric absconded it :).

From: DJTJR

Kelly, thanks and I still have it... No way I'm letting go of any of my original DAS bows. The master hunter gen 1 and 2s are awesome.

Thanks Don Jr. Nice to hear a bit about your passions and your a fellow LWer and bowhunter. I didn't get through the whole interview but enjoyed the parts I listened to.

From: kadbow Compton's Traditional Bowhunters

Pat I copied your link on my Facebook page for this interview. So far it's been very well received. This is very cool and I am happy to see this. Glad you did it.

As sportsmen it's important that we unite and support candidates that are supporters of our sport and the second amendment. Thanks again for posting !

From: Rut-row

I enjoyed the interview, I can relate on every level...well...except one... $ ;) anyway glad to know Don Jr. is the real deal, it is evident that he enjoys the "hunt" and the "preperation" .... values etc. Don, I sincerely hope your kids are able to share your values and joys of the outdoors, regardless of a financial status when you understand and fully enjoy the outdoors the memories are and will be second to none.

From: limbwalker

Finally took the time to listen to the interview. Don Jr. sounds like a decent guy with a lot of love for the outdoors and sporting way of life - a lot like many people here I know.

Like someone else said, he just happens to be the son of a famous person. Neat to see how he's managed to keep his feet on the ground. Good for him and well done Pat.

From: Lambow
Date: 18-Jan-16




Great interview, Pat.

I learned That Don Jr. Was a bowhunter back in 07 I believe. I was talking to David Allen Sosa (DAS) on the phone one day, and he told me about a fellow that recently called and that he'd ordered two bows. Said his name was Donald Trump Jr. At first, David thought it was a joke, but turned out it wasn't. He even offered to take David hunting on a private island via helicopter.

Good interview - I appreciate his strong and very public support of maintaining Public Lands under federal control. He helped choose Rep. Ryan Zinke, another promoter of federal Public Lands as Interior Secretary and has stated repeatedly that he will be a loud voice in his father's ear on this issue.

From: Sipsey River
Date: 20-Jan-17




If that is a DAS in his hands, a friend of mine sold him a DAS, used, several years ago. If you guys know Lonnie, the guy who did the camo dipping for Sipsey River, he is the one who sold it to Trump.

"I am unapologetically a Donald Trump supporter and watching your father's inauguration speech today made me extremely proud."

Me too!

Whether you like him or not, what a historic invent today was.

All of the odds were stacked against him in the beginning, and he came out on top in the end.

It's been truly amazing to witness.

I think he'll do good things for this nation in the coming years.

Looking forward to it.

How did a city kid get into hunting?

He was introduced to hunting and the shooting sports while spending time in melania's home town in Slovenia.

I particularly got a kick out of the President referencing the 2010 American Carnage Tour by thrash metal bands Slayer and Megadeth, Testament, and Anthrax in his innauguration speech. Who'd thunk he was a fan? ; )

Donald JR was introduced to the outdoor life by his grandfather.

Donald probably has more DAS bows than anyone else. I know he has several that I sold him, as well as others.

Twas a great day in the U S today.

Great news!! And a great day for America. Absolutely loved to see Don Jr.'s father dancing with the female service member, Melania did the same with an Army Ranger during the last Inaugural Ball. Just pure class...

rare breed, I agree that seeing the new President and First Lady dance with service members was great and is a class gesture, but Trump is far from the first to do it. As I understand it is a long-standing tradition at the President's Inaugural Ball. I remember seeing the Obamas do it, as well as the Bushes.

Donald Jr. strikes me as down to earth, genuine, a committed father and an intelligent self-taught outdorsman. Add to that a hard working, successful business man who enjoys the same pursuits we do and is not a snob. Great having a fellow trad bowhunter with the President's ear. Kudos to Pat and Don for an enlightening interview

Well thank god fore Slovenia keeping their rich hunting heritage alive and well. My god I'm sick of the left wing celebrity winning. They picked the hill dog, not me. I didn't go shoot people and burn cars when the last one got elected. Sorry, just had to vent! I'm thrilled to have a member of America's first family be an outdoorsman of any kind. A traditional bow hunter makes it even better.

From: Crossed Arrows

For many years I have thought that having some archery targets on the White House grounds would be a good thing. We all know that archery is a great stress reliever so it might be very beneficial for the staff.

I am very glad that we have a significant change in the swamp management because every organization needs to be shaken up,downsized and reorganized periodically or it becomes inefficient.

Having an outdoorsman as the President's son and an outdoorsman as Interior Secretary is a big plus for all of us. By the way, Rep. Ryan Zinke served many years as a Navy SEAL officer before his retirement.

Ron G it was mentioned on Jan 11th 2016 when Pat Lefemine posted this at the top. Folks are just very excited to have someone like Donald Jr. who can relate to this great sport we all enjoy. Thanks Pat for posting this last year cause I enjoyed it then as well as now. Congratulations to the Trump family and for great children they have.

What a breath of fresh air! This was a great interview, and Don Jr sounds like a very accomplished and knowledgeable hunter. Looking forward to a exciting 4 years (and maybe 8) for American sportsman. God Bless the Trump family, I will be praying for you and the prosperity of our Great nation.

Nice interview DJTJR. And good to know you are one of us!! I'm sure everyone is glad you don't feel the need to hide your identity. Hopefully you can continue to contrubute to the LW (But with 5 kids! And busy job I'm not sure where you'd get time). Tedd

From: foxhall

I really, really don’t get it. You wear your “Lets Make America Great Again” trump hats (that are made in either China or Vietnam by the way)… which apparently shows you care for the United States.

But, then you see these ties trump has to Russia that are verified by 17 different intelligence agencies . Of course trump says ALL 17 agencies are in collusion against him. But, even before trump was nominated it was said he borrowed 5 to 6 hundred million from russia because no bank would lend him money because of his bankruptcies. To me that’s a red flag in itself. Doesn’t this connection concern you for our country?

I personally believe President Reagan would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the trump/russian connection… even to the point that I believe Reagon would call him a traitor. Trump sure has said a lot of bad things about fellow Americans, but NEVER ONCE has he said anything bad about russia or putin. I used to vote republican. I’m not trying to cause trouble here… just trying to understand. thanks

Foxhall, just a couple things in response to your comments. First off, be careful when you trust what "they" are saying. Question your resources. I for one don't trust most of the folks on TV or radio any farther than I could throw the whole lot of em. Secondly, yes Trump has said some things that could be considered derogatory. But take a look back and you will typically find that "someone" had already took their stab at him. When he responds to that criticism, then he becomes the bad guy. Not sure about you, but when a man slaps me in the face, I typically like to defend myself. And lastly, there isn't a person out there we're gonna see 100% eye to eye with. When we vote, we have to pick the one that's closest to our core values, or don't vote at all. I personally didn't feel the other candidate gave us a choice in that matter, especially if your a sportsman. I for one am planning on being less dependent on what "they" say, and will let the man's actions be the foundation for my opinions.

Though he is a bowhunter, be wary of trusting Paul Ryan's commitment to public lands. His "Path to Prosperity" budget resolution blueprint for 2013 proposed putting millions of acres of publicly owned land up for sale to help balance the budget. Per other comments, be very careful about trusting what "they" say. Actions speak far louder than words.

All at the cost of the American huntyer, our WHOLE Bill of Rights, and the Constituion.

Pat's no fool. He shared this interview fully aware a few might would use it as an opportunity to attack archers/bowhunters who dare to say something that rankles them.

Some are yes-men or no-men who stupidly imagine DJTjr is the same as his old man. That obviously ain't true and it certainly wouldn't matter.

Me, I don't mind occasional political comments, but I do mind when some attack others of us. Grow a pair.

From: picapica

Sharing ideas and expressing opinions on a public forum is what they are all about; anyone presenting a topic takes a risk that discussion may get lively - moderators keep it civil.

Attacking other members directly for sharing something they disagree with as "crying and whining" is a very different kind of exression.

The Trump brothers were offering a hunt and fishing trip for four with them, they wanted one million dollars to go to a conservation charity. For 500,000 you got a hunting trip for two for a couple of days. Google it. They decided to cancel.

Lord watch over the Trump Dynasty and guide them giving them courage in the face of evil and ugly. Guide their arrows straight and give them all wisdom. Give Sr. the wisdom to guide this country into new greatness that honers you Lord. Save him Lord from himself and give him courage to listen to his family when you have given them the right things to say to Sr.to better serve this country. Help us all work towards doing each of our parts to repair this country and get along.

From: mgerard Compton's Traditional Bowhunters

Seems every election produces the same debates. often from the same players, often ignorant with no thought of the environment, the poor, various religions, race or gender. This thread was dead until someone decided to make another statement to propagate those same issues. Well, you can't fix stupid, you can't cure ignorance, and you can rarely change the minds of cultists, conspiracy theorists, and racists. You can feel sorry for those people though. I feel sorry for many of you!DJTJR, congrats on being a bowhunter. There are bigger issues ahead than just that. I know the 2nd Amendment is big on this site, the 1st Amendment, not so much, but I needed to take this shot down range. New bow coming soon. See ya!

Guys, let's not get wedgies over this. Don Junior hunts with a recurve and that makes him a brother of the bow and I am very glad that we can have him as an ally. I didn't notice any other families on the ticket that I could possibly consider allies.

So far, I see cabinet choices of highly successful people who have made it on competitive merit, rather than beaurocrats, lawyers and pompous professors.

My sweet wife told me that Saturday the new President got more fat women walking than any time in the past eight years. Not a bad start for an improved health program, I'd say.

I'm really hopeful for this change.

Well I finally took the time to listen to this entire interview and I'm sorry I waited so long. I have always thought Don Jr. was a solid person and held him in high regard based on seeing his interviews on tv, but now this interview has removed all doubt that the man is the genuine article. So Don, Jr., if you happen to read this, thank you for agreeing to do the interview and telling us about yourself, your family, and your upbringing, and for doing what you are for the sports and the outdoors. Just thanks for having a good head on your shoulders and be willing to share your ideas and feelings with the rest of us. God bless your family and your businesses, now your father and all your family's positions in the White House and in general, and your outdoors lives. The best to you all in your progress to Make Our country Great Again, greater than ever before! I can speak for so many when I say Thank You All for taking the time to put America first and take us out of the hands of the despair that we were so close to falling into. I know you didn't have to do it, but you wanted to. God Bless! And, you have some great kills too... nice goin'!

You know I have seen people complain about President Trump and his "Supposed" relationship with Russia. The information that was put out has never been denied as to it being incorrect. Should anyone be allow to hack? Does our country hack, yeah, to believe other wise your lying to yourself. The difference is it was used on us this time. Has anyone heard the statement "Keep your friends close and your enemy closer.". If people really paid attention to Trumps speeches before he became President? If memory serves me right, this is not a exact quote but it is something like this: You don't tell your enemy WHAT you are planning on doing. I didn't vote for Trump when we were picking a Republican Candidate, but I am going to set back and watch and give him a chance to see what he does. I have know for some time that Donald Jr. hunted, as well his brother. Gives me a little faith that their dad has his feet planted in the right place. President Trump was not created from the political machine that so many politicians that have run this country have come from. He worked to get to where he has been as a business man, "I" believe he respects the people who put him there, and I believe he respects the citizens of this country that has put him where he is at now. We shall see how his ideas for what he want to do pans out.

Hey, if there's somebody willing to pay that and they think it's worth it, then who are we to pass judgement?!? For example...there's a couple brothers down in Iowa that charge guys to come learn how to scout for deer and place stands...and for even more money they will come to you, walk your property, and put a big fat red "X" on a map telling you right where you should sit! Would you pay for that? I wouldn't, but to each their own and kudos to the brothers who can make a dime without holding a gun to anyone's head. Free Country!
