PSA - Don't be a jackass out there

I was fishing years ago in Vallecito creek, up where it cliffs out on both sides.
beautiful day, catching fish and nobody else on the water. Then a big rock hits the creek 50’ away. First thought was holy cow that was close, just wasn’t my time. I figured it was just a loose rock from the cliff.
Make another cast, here comes another rock. Then I remember the hiking trail up there. Get next to the cliff while screaming at them to stop it, I’m down here.

Yep, another rock. That’s enough. Had my handgun, aimed at a log on the far side of the creek and shot it 3 times. No more rocks, but I hung under the cliff for a while anyway, then went back to fishing. Those jackasses could have killed me and never known. I guess they must have known after my yelling to stop. WTF is wrong with people and this was before the instagram.

I halfway expected to find a deputy at the trailhead when I got back, which would have made my day confronting the rock pushers.

Hey, I just thought up a new thing…..
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a rock, is a good guy with a gun.
 
I get it, sometimes it gets slow on the mountain, but I go hunting to hunt! Especially since I only hunt a fraction of what I did pre kiddos. What happened to hiking to a new basin or getting behind glass? Or heck a middday snooze if you are that bored.
 
Good thing there wasnt a camp down there with guys crashed out in a tent. Seems like a dumb way to get charged with homicide

Total morons I agree. Did we just perpetuate the problem by giving them views or clicks?
This definitely crossed my mind before I posted but I wanted to spread the message that rolling boulders downhill while out hunting is unacceptable. Probably a long shot but if anyone recognizes that area we could forward the video to the whatever Ranger District it is in.
 
Kind of surprised they didn't yell, I'll drink to that, and hold up a beer. Im certain alcohol was involved.
 
Oh the stupid that exists out there. Like someone else said, crappy hunters, attention of a fruit fly, and I'll add attention whores to round it out.

The page has over 5 million followers, so we are just a drop in a barrel.
This has become a trend of sorts. The number of videos on the 'gram just like this one is astounding
