Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour star Sam Burns set the internet ablaze Monday night with a post that sent the woke crowd into a tailspin. The 27-year-old rising star shared a picture on Instagram of himself proudly donning a camouflage *Make America Great Again* hat while posing with a massive 10-point buck he had just hunted.
Captioning the post with the cheeky phrase, “Deer hunting is great again!” Burns quickly garnered nearly 14,000 likes. However, it wasn’t just the trophy buck that drew attention—it was the MAGA hat and Burns’ unapologetic embrace of his Christian and conservative values that sent leftists in the comments section into meltdown mode.
As expected, the post brought a deluge of angry, vitriolic comments from the perpetually offended. Some couldn’t resist personal attacks, with one troll writing, “Hope you go hunting with Dick Cheney,” a crude reference to the former vice president’s infamous hunting accident. Others questioned Burns’ faith, suggesting that supporting Donald Trump somehow made him un-Christian: “I’m not sure what Bible you all are reading, but a Trump follower is the antithesis of a Christian.”
The haters didn’t stop there. One commenter ranted, “Disgusting for you to post this. What’s wrong with you?” Another bizarrely accused Burns of promoting “hate and white supremacy,” claiming, “Seeing guys like Sam Burns with a platform and a following choose to promote hate and white supremacy with the hat he is wearing, I do have a problem with that.”
Despite the left-wing outrage, conservatives and common-sense commenters came out in droves to support Burns, praising him for his unapologetic stance. One fan hilariously quipped, “All the soy boys are crying in the comments over a HAT.”
Another celebrated the impressive buck while taking a jab at the woke mob: “All the cupcakes in these comments are crazy… stud buck.” The conservative backing for Burns showed that, despite the noisy minority, many Americans appreciate a man who stands firm in his beliefs and celebrates his Second Amendment rights.
The outrage didn’t stay confined to Instagram. The liberal meltdown spilled over to X (formerly Twitter), where the account NUCLR Golf posted a screenshot of Burns’ photo with the caption: “🚨🦌⛳️ #NEW: World #19 Sam Burns has taken to Instagram with the caption ‘Deer hunting is great again!’ while donning a camouflage MAGA hat in support of President-elect Trump.”
As expected, the anti-hunting and anti-Trump brigade had their say. One sarcastically wrote, “It would be a sport if the deer had guns.” Another sneered, “Amazing. He killed an animal with a firearm, what a guy.”
Yet, for all the whining, Burns’ post struck a chord with his supporters, proving that many Americans still value traditional values like hunting, faith, and patriotism.
In a time when athletes often cave to the pressures of political correctness, Sam Burns isn’t backing down. By proudly wearing his MAGA hat and showcasing his hunting skills, he’s making a statement that resonates with countless Americans: stand firm in your values, no matter how loudly the woke mob screams.
Bravo, Sam Burns. Keep making America—and deer hunting—great again.
