OK, Where did your handle come from?

[Bishop]

Mine's not very creative, just my last name.

[Whoadog]

######My creative wife bought me the personalized license plates years ago that said "Whoadog" since she would hear me telling dogs that during training (she was my assistant before my daughter stepped in).

Brian

[Hogskin]

Well, besides the fact that I like to hunt porkers, my last name is Hodgson. I've heard all the wisecracks and Hogskin just sort of stuck with some dirt biking buddies of mine.

Regards,

Paul

[Brian S]

I think mine is pretty obvious I've thought about changing it to something creative I like fork'dinL.A. I'm just glad no one has used my little cartoon guy.

[Duke]

Mine is just my favorite college basketball team. Blue Devils.

[Hook]

My last name (Hookassian) is too long so it got shortened by my buddy's when i was in the military and on the Dept. to Hook.

[jackrabbit]

Mine came about when my buddies and our work friends started to caravan all over So Cal and the high desert to fish, and hunt rabbits, quail, and deer in the early 80's. ######CB radios were all the rage then, even in downtown L.A., so everybody had one. ######One of the ladies in our fishing/hunting group had the CB handle of Cottontail, and then I got dubbed with the handle of Jackrabbit -- kept it ever since.

[Bigolwiggler]

Well .......ummm......mine kinda evolved , then one day I was needin a handle to get into one of these web sites. ###### So Bigolwiggler it was.

I used to work with this guy named Harry Waggler. Me and my huntin buddy always thought it was kind of a humorous name. ######

We began callin him Harry Wiggler ######between ourselves ( terrible werent we *S* )

Then we said , hey that sounds like a good name for a fishin lure , the "hairy-wiggler"###### And for the really big bass it would naturally have to be called the ###### ######"Big-Ol-hairy-wiggler" . ###### We sure got a kick out of ourselves with all that sillyness.

So any way I signed into a web site , needed a handle and thats what popped into my mind........

Bigolwiggler.

You asked for it !

It's my childhood nickname,

[Rimrock]

It's the ringside seat for getting a good look at the world as the sun comes up.

Play fair

[Qbn Hunter]

I was born here but my parents are Cuban, hence the name and of course I love to hunt.

[coyotehunter 1]

Well back a few hunderd years ago I guided for a local hunting lodge, coyotes started to be a problem with the walking stock. The owner wanted someone to control coyotes, when I was not guiding clients on hunts I tried my hand at coyotes. After a few kills the head guide ######started calling me coyote hunter and it stuck. I decided to use coyotehunter_1 ######when I started using the www.

coyotehunter_1 ###### ######

[paulc]

mine is self explanatory paulc.. my last name is comino...

some great names on the post..

would like to know what a fainting goat is..

i particularly like the handle qbnhunter..

stryder, i always wondered if that was from lord of the rings. that was one of my favorite characters in the book also.

[Arrowhead]

Well I got the handle on a turkey hunting trip to the South Carolina low country. I spent more time lookin for Arrowhead's than hunting turkey's.

I love lookin.....

I just found these this year.

[Brad]

just my first name. Go by Brad_NY in the chat.

[Stryder]

Paulc, I love the Lord of the Rings books although in the book it's spelled with an i not a y, I just thought it looked better that way. The movie is really good but not near as good as the book.

Stryder

[EL CAZADOR]

Double meaning:

1. ######Whenever I get a boat - FULLSACK will be its name. ######Hopefully the sacks will always be full of fish.

2. ######GOT CAJONES?

Foulshot chewed me out for not giving him props . . .Foulshot and I thought that one day we'd get a boat, so we both came up with the name.

Does that make you happy now?

[tealtamer]

Started hunting 4 years ago and first trip was on blue wing teal ,my buddy said they fly fast and wild ,so i shot one down and he said i guess you tamed him ...hence tealtamer

[goatman]

PaulC

Fainting goats originated in Tenn. They don't really faint but when they are suprised or run to fast they have a muscle lockup. The older ones usually just get stiff but the young ones often fall over. Usually only lasts about ten seconds.

[LavaHunter]

My favorite place to hunt in california are the lava beds in X1 zone been going since i was 13 years old. So i named myself the lavahunter

[coyotehunter 1]

goatman,

I'm from Tennessee, untill I read your reply I thought all goats fainted. You have taught me something...

Never know what we will learn on this board.

ch 1

[paulc]

goatman, i am not trying to be cute or funny, but, what is the advantage to having a goat lock up when its startled? it almost seems that would be a genetic flaw.. we have goats in ca, nubians, boer, alpines etc.. but i never heard of goats that lock up...

stryder, i hope to see the movie this next week..

[goatman]

Really no one has figured out why these came about. They have what is called mytonia. They are traced back to Marshall County,Tenn. around 1880. They are rare and are easy to catch.
