Everyone calls me a mountain man at some point so figured it was a good screen name.

My callsign from an all expenses paid vacation to southeast Asia many years ago.

My dad always said "Boy! If you don't(whatever) your name is Mudd" or "Boy! If you do(whatever) your name is Mudd" but the one I feared most was "Boy! I will stomp a Muddhole in you and walk it dry!"

So when folks asked me my name I'd reply "About half the time it's Mudd." It's been my handle ever since and the only one I use everywhere.

I think the only person who doesn't call me Mudd is my wife but there are times I wish she would, it would be a lot nicer than the name she uses instead...lol

God bless,Mudd

my hunting nick name with my friends is DOE BOY cause I never see bucks and shoot only does I guess,,,,,, handle is my name in Polish and 17 is the day of my B-day

Mine is easy as well. Buckeye state

Mine is TOP SECRET.......nobody can know....

My parents - never understood the "handle" thing.

Mine is fairly easy to figure out.  I have been born again by the Blood of Christ and I am also a bowhunter.

Mine is the first part of my businesses name ie;

Prairie Drifter Taxidermy
Prairie Drifter Rods

Mine came from an old e-mail address. Me and my wife were trying to setup a new account. My name is Dennis her's is Dee. We tried dennisdee, deedennis, deeden, dendee, everything was already used. Finaly we just slapped an a in front and ended up with adeeden. It's just kinda stuck since them

A late friend of mine gave me mine because parts of my Harley are literaly held on by ductape.

Mine has to do with a Native American Story. Also I love it when the Elk are singing!

My Mom......not very original  

My Grandmother was named Owana, which is Chickasaw for "Flame on the Water". She was Half Chickasaw Indian. I am "Raging Water" but I can't remember what the Chickasaw Name is.

Mine has nothing to do with archery. I work in the Computer Security field. Back in the darkages; users would be given account names that were eight characters in length. First inital and seven of the last name. I have kept that format for the most part.

Martin

I have been using my user name since 1979. It came from a 1979 movie titled "Night Wing".

Co workers at my 1st job gave me the nickname.

Did you ever make it up to the Maple Flag exercise at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alberta?

Well we are still on here so I am guessing this to be an appropriate thread. I was shocked and gratified to see so many responses when I checked this morning.

I got my name when I went to be a vice principal in a Northern Alberta native community.

The principal and the board member who were responsible for hiring me over the phone are both firearms safety instructors. In their instructors training they had been frequently cautioned to ensure that everyone taking the course knew not to use smokeless powder in damascus shotgun barrels.

Andy, the principal, asked all of us new staff to email a picture for a newsletter. We had talked on the phone and he knew that like him I am an avid hunter and shooter.

When he and John, the board member, were looking at my picture John turned to Andy and said, "I wonder if that old guy (actually I was a youthful
54 at the time)has any damascus barrels".

When I finally met them they told me the story and the name stuck.

Mine came off a bag of chewing tobacco. Oh well!!
