"Deer hunting is great again!" he captioned the Instagram photo.
Burns appeared to join the slew of professional athletes who expressed support for the president-elect over the last few days. UFC fighters, NFL players, golfers and soccer stars have all shown support for Trump by doing his dance in celebration.
Now, Burns is the latest to wear a MAGA hat, weeks after San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa flashed the hat during a postgame interview on NBC.

Former NFL star Brian Urlacher hypothesized why players were outwardly showing support during this election cycle and not in the previous two.
"People were scared for a while. You don’t want people to talk bad about you, how we’ve been talked about the last four years if you’re a Donald Trump supporter," Urlacher said on Fox News Channel’s "Jesse Watters Primetime."
