Friday morning I pulled the boat up to Billings Bait stand around 5am.
It was crowded with boats as expected for the summer season. As I tied up to the dock between the bait stand and the old Castaways stand I notice some one shining a flash light at me. After getting my bait and going back to the boat the light is still shinning around at me and other boats. This time I look back and notice a older man with the light and he is carrying a deer rifle in his hands. Shocked

I assume he lives at the Castaways stand or on the shrimp boat there.

It is concerning with all the fishermen and kids around the area to have this behavior in a public area.

Anyone else see this?

He probably just lost a Yeti out of his truck.

If he's not harassing anyone what's wrong with the "behavior?"

Someone shining a light in my face with a rifle is harassment.

Maybe but that's also not what was described.

I once bought a used rifle from a guy on TexasBowhunter.com and we met at the Home Depot on i35 and 3009 here in San Antonio. It felt really weird in the parking lot standing at his tailgate going over the rifle and looking through the scope and down the barrel and giving it a good inspection as literally hundreds of cars were driving by us because we were right on the access road. We were there for close to half an hour, nobody said anything. I made a comment about feeling weird and the seller quickly squashed it saying don't let the liberal yuppies dictate my thought process and that we were doing nothing wrong so why feel weird about it. Anyway no idea what the bait stand goofball was doing but if he's not harming anyone I figure there's no reason to freak out about it.

Somebody comes at by boat with a rifle, there is a good chance it's going to get real loud and not be a good day for him.

If you were a thief and you saw a man with a gun walking around a few boats you wanted to rob, wouldn't it make you think twice. That guy probably did a better job of security that morning than any Wal-Mart rent a cop ever could. Shoot I might have felt comfortable even leaving a yeti in the boat while iI ran in for bait.
