When I saw that nice guys post on how he got his name, now Im curious....why did you pick the screen name you have, and what other cool names do you have on other forums. I look for great forums to join, so you could list those too. Mine is really obvious. I am a Deputy Coroner in a large county in Illinois, and its not Cook. We have been really busy with all this heroin, fentanyl and synthetic rat poison laced cannabis lately. Really sad these folks didn't get into hunting, and not drug use. al
I spent 16 years working all over the country. Mainly the east coast but as far away as New Mexico at times. Being married and a father it was hard for me and hard for my wife but we stuck through it and she was a champ about it all. Right before I joined the forum I got promoted to management and am now home with my wife and kids most days. I am able to be more involved in their lives and activities.
That made me "Happy".
I was brand new to the site, and I'm from Delaware, hence "dejake".
My old college email. Wish I had been more creative now, but I have the same username on all the forums I frequent

Because the spit and drum is my most favorite sound in the world with the gobble a close second.
I'm an Oakland Raiders fan from Iowa. Not too interesting, it's just the best I could come up with. In some other forums I've condensed it to "oak".
Years ago, on the first couple of forums I joined, I was Gobblerman, but after some reflection, I decided I wanted to have a name that more represented my fascination with turkey hunting. To me, turkey hunting is all about the "Gobble", and I am admittedly somewhat of a "Nut" about wanting to hear those gobblers sound off,....hence the name "GobbleNut".
...And NO, there is no other connotation of that name that is applicable! (just to clarify that for certain individuals around here) ;D ;D :newmascot:
In high school my hunting buddy wasnt very sure footed in the woods and was always tripping over something making noise. He'd always tell me I had to be part Indian with how I picked my way through the woods and one day he just started calling me taunto and later tauntohawk and I used it over on archery talk and it just stuck as my forum name.

Where I was raised there is alot of pirate lore.and I a turkey hunting fanatic, HOTSPUR is the name of an old pirate ship
Mine goes back to the old U.S. Hunting forum days. A lot of friends had joined and I just went with Guesswho to see how long it would take someone to figure out it was me. Didn't take long :TooFunny:
Aka known as Six or Olesixbeards due to the number of turkeys I've killed (6). Was hoping to change my name to seven this year, but I guess there's always next year.
The real story on Gobblenut is they gave him that name at the old folks home. He was shy at first and wouldn't talk to people, especially old women. He would just walk around and gobble at them. They just referred to him as that Gobbling Nut in 3A. When he earned computer privileges he joined some forums and just shortened it to Gobblenut.
I was born with 6 legs and 3 body parts :z-guntootsmiley: :TooFunny: Actual name goes way back, but I will keep that part of my history stored up to be reminisced by a warm fire and mysterious brown liquids.
Wade is the name my momma gave me. I've used more creative names on other forums. Not sure why I just went with wade here.
I have many passions. Turkey, ducks, hounds, bird dogs, etc, etc but I've been shooting a bow since 1970. I am an archery instructor, hunter ed instructor teaching the archery courses mainly. The bow is my oldest passion next to fishing. Comes between something w scales and something feathered or furred, I'm going hunting. I do like bowfishing though!!
Bowguy it was. Turkeys are prob my next longest passion at early 80s.
I was named Dr Juice by my family because of the different 'juices' (adult beverages) I doctor up. Cheers ????
kjnengr - kjn (Cajun) engr (Engineer). I'm from South Louisiana and I'm a Mechanical Engineer.
I created a Gmail account and wanted a name with letters that kinda made a word instead of a more conventional word with a bunch of numbers or characters to make it unique.
I've always been interested in the medieval times in history and my wife has always told me that I go hunting to much, so there you go.
I am on a duck hunting forum (as waterfowling is probably my first passion) under the screen name of Squaller... It was an attempt at self-deprecating humor as to my calling skills...
As time has passed, I noticed other members who simply used their first name, and it seems that it makes a more personal connection... Being that my first name has a different spelling, it was not taken on these forums, so I just went with my given name... Which is a far better choice than what most people call me...
I played baseball in grade and high school so when my friend's sons and mine started playing Little League, we started coaching. We coached together for 10 years and I moved on to Middle School baseball and eventually on to JV, Varsity and Junior Legion baseball, so it was only natural to be bbcoach. I've probably coached well over 20 years of my adult life. Very enjoyable and rewarding.
Avid SCUBA and Free Diver....
I'm chief of police in small town that encourages asylum patients to become lawn mower mechanics. I use to play cards with Doyle Hargraves till some nut killed him with lawn a mower blade that's a murder I never did solve. But anywho! And Wade already took Wade so JD it is! And I'm STILL looking for a 2018 patch. Steeler fan gave me one, put it on my vest and it was stolen from the carwash. But I like this thread.
My last name is Fridley and people have always used Frid as a nickname for me. Just decided to add KY to it for the state i live in.

Yea I like to ....... nose pick while I am sitting in the blind.
Have You thought of changing your O.G.name to Sir-picksalot...???
Naw, can't do that, name means something to me. Guess I will explain it, The Sir in my name comes from a book my mother got me when I was young on knights and armor. Dude gets knighted and becomes Sir so and so. The diealot (Die a lot) came from several friend but mainly one. When I had my car accident back in 2001 I could not hunt due to pain, I had a hard time standing, sitting, or laying down but I found well padded office chairs gave relief. Well I wound up also getting into computers and computer gaming as many of my friends were into it. My friend Jerry used to pick on me all the time, he would say "Man you die a lot" constantly because well it was true. I combined the two interest together to come up with Sir-diealot My mother had already passed in 95 and Jerry died as a result of burns he got at a campfire one night 14 years ago this Sept. 7 He was one of the best friends I have ever had in my life, could start an argument with you and then turn around in the middle of the argument and make a wise comment and make you start laughing so hard you would cry. I have tried to do as much as I could with his kids though my pain has limited me, I love taking them fishing when I can but right now the vehicle is down. Neither boy is into hunting and his daughters mother moved them to FL which breaks my heart because the daughter and I had a very special relationship, truth be told she had me wrapped around her little finger. So this is why on just about every forum I am on I use my gamer tag to honor and remember them both.
Edit: The only other name I have used on forums came before this name and that came about as my eBay name which is Far-outdude and there is no reason behind it.
hello all, new to the forum thing. my father was known as big foot in his CB radio club and therefore i was lil foot. he passed a few years back.

Welcome to the forums. Ah C.B.'s used to love him, my father gave me the handle Ball Bearing because I would ruin them in my bike all the time when I was a kid. When I got older I became Tank Driver because I drove a big old 77 Chrysler New Yorker with a 440 in it, which was shortened to Tanker or just Tank
My screen name was taken from where I live. It's a community in North Georgia where I was born, raised and still reside. My family helped settle this area in the early 1800s.

I just tried to think of a handle that was turkey related. I was probably looking at a tailfan mount when I registered... ;D

My name is Jeremy, and I used to be pretty big. I've lost quite a bit of weight, but I'm still tall. Really clever, I know...
Cutt & Run was taken on a turkey forum I joined that went defunct many years ago, so I went with Cut N Run. I have the same user name on every turkey forum I belong to. I used to hunt that way a lot when I was younger, but now I'm more like Cutt & Hobble or Yelp & Wait.

I just use my name ...lol... you can say hi...anytime ....i have no reason to hide ....lol
I Live in western NC and spend a lot of time in the off seasons tracking game to learn their patterns and habits. I've always loved game tracks. As a young boy and cub/Boy Scout it was always one of my favorite things. When it snowed I'd hit the woods up in the mountain with my book of tracks.

In the 80's there was a show on called Airwolf. About an attack helicopter stolen from the government. The main character of the show was named Stringfellow Hawk and I was supposed to play his brother Sin-Gin but then the producer of the show decided to make my character a lost Pow, hence I was never really on the show. Ya?

As I remember Sinjin was played by 2 different actors and winds up taking over for Stringfellow Hawke?
I was a Firefighter for 20 yrs....14 as volunteer and 6 paid. When I changed jobs I held the rank of Captain. My nick-name since I was about 7yr old(now I'm 56) is Pete....so you have CaptPete.
Well now I'm a little reluctant to say, after the recent heated discussion on shooting jakes.
Years ago when I ran a turkey check station we I had a buddy take a piece of eggshell and stick it to the head of a jake I shot.....he then told everyone "look Dana don't even let them get completely out of the eggshell before he shoots them" After that is was a joke about me shooting jakes right out of the shell. Heck out of 150+ birds I probably haven't shot 10 jakes, but you know how hunting buddies are once your tagged it sticks.
I have trouble spilling big words

Childhood nickname and what I named the call company.
Nickname from my days playing baseball. Started in High School and stuck all the way through college ball and beyond. A guy named me that because of the way I threw a baseball. Said my arm bent like I was Gumby and so it was from then on.
No need to explain mine at all!
You don't want to know... ;)
I'm a Chief Engineer on a Tugboat and well been called Bubba since before I could talk :TooFunny: Bubba
Mines also pretty self explanatory...1 of many Iowa gobbler getters...
Three guesses and the first two don't count.
I grew up in what was once called the District of West Augusta. It consisted of the Southwestern part of Pennsylvania and the Northwestern part of Virginia which later became West Virginia.
The town I grew up in was nicknamed West Augusta. It's where I'm from. Sadly, I no longer live in the District of West Augusta.

I'm originally from KY but been in GA for 22 years now. I used to travel and research indigenous or native peoples of the south Pacific mostly in the western Solomon Islands. I studied and published articles about ancient witchcraft and sorcery, ritual warfare, predatory headhunting, and material culture. No I am not a follower of these things I just wanted to understand them and it fascinated me. It eventually led to a deep and dark underworld that I would never return to. In the village I was known as Tie Vaka Basioto which is "white man crocodile" in the Roviana language because I always wanted to see their large crocs in the lagoons surrounding the islands. The areas I visited were probably more dangerous than anywhere I went even when I was in the Marines. And since there is an old country band called the Kentucky Headhunters I thought it would be appropriate. And it sorta relates to turkey hunting. Sounds crazy I know.

Mine is from my nickname bestowed on me almost 30 years ago. Really enjoyed reading the stories behind every ones screen names. Great thread!
My nickname is Duke and I have 6 wonderful children.
I named my browning bps 12 gauge "HBK" because it is the showstopper and has put many long beards in their graves and I forgot my password for my older account.......so."The Heartbreak Kid" was a no brainer, and also he is my favorite entertainer ever to wrestle.
This post has been a great read. I have always wondered about how many of the individuals named themselves. Mine is Mtns2hunt. I have always had a fascination with mountains. I loved the mountains of Europe especially in Austria when I was very young. I liked the mountains of Scotland and Northern England. Frequently as I traveled north in England I would see fields that just begged to have deer in them but never did.
My father introduced me to hunting in Northern California and later to the Appalachians in Virginia. I also remember the mountains in Idaho and still feel that was the coldest place I have ever been despite several trips to Canada. I mountain Lion hunted in Wyoming and Elk hunted in Montana. Everywhere (almost) there were mountains Still looking for those Kansas mountains. So it no wonder I picked Mtns2hunt. If there is a hill I have to hunt and climb it. I truly love the Blue Ridge as well.
Aside from the obvious...
I used to work out of an office that was in enemy territory - aka Ravens. Having to endure "purple Fridays", etc. - I would make sure to have an adequate display of black & gold. My office was then referred to as the "Steeler fan".
I dropped the first part of the moniker my coworkers would add on occasion, "#*%!... Steeler fan" since this is a family oriented forum. ;D
chbarnha is the beginning of my work email, so I use chbarnha on every forum. just easy to remember
