A rock chuck lives an ideal lifestyle (other than being shot at). They come out in the spring, eat themselves silly, make babies, spend the afternoons sitting up on the rocks whistling at pretty girls going past, then in August they go back down underground and sleep for 8 months. How can you beat that?
You guys took all the good ones before I got here. In frustration I tried the name that dad named the 10 acres that he bought up north in 1956 with a 3 acre 38' deep natural spring fed lake and 300' of lake frontage on an adjoining larger lake for $1,500. I sold it last October for a little more.

Hillbilly + Jack of all Trades = HillJack living in Ky.
The term HillJack refers to people who live in remote, rural, and somewhat mountainous regions of the United States (closely related to the people known as “Hillbillies” or “Rednecks”). A HillJack is competent at performing many skilled task (mostly manual labor), but is not the master of any one. The HillJack is described as an extremely proud American (somewhat backward and socially unsophisticated) who is willing to stand up for what He/She believes; never willing to compromise their integrity or values. HillJacks are a self reliant group who have been known to spend countless hours in pursuit of nature’s most prized creations: CATFISH, WHITE TAIL, and yes even a deer once in a while!
It seemed like everyone or at least most around here use different usernames than their own so I chose rainshot. I wanted lawndart but that was taken. It seemed at the time that every time I went hunting I got rained on.
My name's not Ken. I own and operate one of the largest dog boarding kennels in central WA. My wife gave me a military style dog tag with my user name on it the first year we were in business. Also the name on my truck license plate.
I was part of a group of Kentucky fans that wanted the coach Tubby Smith fired and we all chipped in to take out an ad in the Kentucky Kernel paper saying so, that created a poopstorm of hatred toward us and I got banned from a forum I was on for several years so I came up with KFWA which stands for Kentucky Fan With Attitude with the sole purpose of being an irritant to the mods on the Kentucky message board. So I just kept it and used it for other stuff.
About 15 years ago, when I was still not too bothered about recoil, I shot a 340 Wby and 338-378 Wby quite a bit so my hunting partner started saying 'hey , it's 340boy!" I guess the name stuck, though I have thought about changing it to 6.5X55 or 270 something or other?
The handle I wanted was taking, so took the easy way out and chose my MOS designator. At times I regret it.. especially with you giving me grief in when I was in Korea over that transgender lol you are a dick!
I'm a world record holder, in bench press. Well, for the little old guys, anyway. 55-60, 181, multiply bench, 530 at 177 bodyweight, 58 years old, drug free.
Here you go folks..... Spoiler alert, it's going to be very anti-climatic....
Back around 15 years ago or so, myself and a group of fellow employees were sitting around the break room table thinking of the creepiest name we could come up with for a radio talk show host. The name "Uncle Soapy" produced the most cringe.
When I signed up to become a member a 24 hour campfire, my brain drew a blank, I couldn't think of a user name that I haven't already used on other forums. When trying to think of a name, it brought me back to that discussion of creepy radio host names. I thought to myself, what the heck, I'll use Uncle Soapy
There you have it folks, sorry to disappoint, has nothing to do with pedophilic misadventure.
Ingwe is the Shona and Zulu word for leopard. africans have a way of tagging you with a name, usually after some kind of misadventure.
I had a 'misadventure' with a leopard in Zimbabwe....
Tom, were you aware that Ingwe is also the name of a king in Tolkien's Silmarillion and therefore appropriate as a name for the Poobah? You could almost be Ingwe II.
Last name and best score I ever shot in a NTI or Leg match when the wife and I were actively competing.
Not many can say they shot a score that good. I think my best was 490 before legging out. My best shot at leg points was sticking to it when the rain started, got a bronze at Perry once just because I wouldn't quit when it started raining and so many did. And that score included a miss, had a double in rapid fire. So my handle came about because I'm really myopic but still shoot good.

Suuuuure..........Don't pay any attention to the "Free Candy" sign on the side of the minivan.......
Rooster is the name of my 14 year old female pointing lab. She was an upland bird hunting dream in her prime.
I purposely named her Rooster because I planned on only hunting with my buddies and it would make them have to yell COCK!! instead of ROOSTER!! when a male pheasant got up.
There's this tribe of pygmies in Africa, see. They live in four foot tall grass. Trouble is, they are only three feet tall, so they are constantly jumping up and down, saying "Fugawe? Fugawe?"

My family are all gamblers so Aces was a natural name for their first born, my middle name is Norsegod but it was too long so I shortened it to N, my family’s last name is Eights and they’re famous robin hood type outlaws. It’s a very sentimental name for me, mostly because of the tremendous weight it carries. 😁
Did a stint pulling trailers for Jeep events around the country using Dodge's diesels. Kinda fits as I have been known to be stubborn and carry the heavy load.( or is it be a heavy load.)
My high school calculus teacher/assistant scoutmaster gave me the nickname due to my pace on a Grand Canyon hike and my red hair. The legs now move slower and the hair is whiter.
So there I was doing the backstroke in my own personal pool, when all the sudden I go down thisdark tunnel and some jackass in a schmook is pulling me by the head and smacking me on the ass. Next think I know I'm in a coed mini dorm for all these others who had the same experience and im with this name tag, Richard Austin.

It was a good score. Of course I knew every shot I dropped and.... and I dropped one at the 600, just pure damn nerves because I knew what I'd done.
Sticking to it counts! Hell in my books it counts more than a good score. I'd have gotten points once with a miss if I hadn't gotten bent out of shape mentally over what I thought at the time had to be a pit scoring fault... but that was years ago and I'm more mature, and tend to ignore things I can't change ( easily anyway) these days.
I sure thought as I got even better I'd shoot a 500 eventually, but as I got to where the only thing holding me back was not shooting above 98 standing usually, and that was on perfect days, we just quit shooting and took up life again.
I could have just as easily been the 25WSSMGuy, but the 25 WSSM hadn't been introduced, let alone discontinued, when I signed onto this site for the first time.
Bought a '79 Ford Fairmont for 20 bucks. The little 4 popper was about shot. I first put a 2.3 turbo out of an '81 mustang cobra in it but that motor went south. So I yanked the 360 big block out of a '71 Ford F250, Put 390 crank and pistons in it and shoehorned it into that little Fairmont.....Along with an 8-point cage, frame connectors, custom clutch system and really funky dual exhaust. My buddy who was in the Air Force was home on leave when I got it running with the 390 in it. He said...."I thought you were sick when you put the turbo motor in that piece of junk. Now I know that you're Psychotic". I change the spelling and put Sykotik on the license plate.
The handle I wanted was taking, so took the easy way out and chose my MOS designator. At times I regret it.. especially with you giving me grief in when I was in Korea over that transgender lol you are a dick!
I fugged with you so hard on that. I used one of those really super sharp Japanese Treble hooks!!!
Lmfao!!!!
Sorry man, but I got ya good on that marilyn manson Warrant Officer!!! If it ever went down over the border, the NORKS woulda sent it back that same day. Even they wouldnt keep something like that for ransom.
Kolofardos is Greek slang for someone who's got horseshoes up their ass. I had a streak of getting 5 2 point moose 5 years in a row (1 or 2 points are the only ones legal for the general open season, everything is else is by lottery). A couple of bitterly envious hunting partners started calling me Kolofardos. Some guys hunt years without seeing 1 or 2 point moose, so I guess I've been extremely lucky!

Ummmmmmm.... Yah that is legit for sure.....
"UncleSoapy". Any regrets about that username on a international hunting website at all???
What was your name on other sites? It surely had to be something better than " UncleSoapy". Should have used one of those. It sounds like a character out of a Rob Zombie movie. Definately nailed the creepy factor radio show host thing for sure.
It occurred that I didn't have all my digits, but Digitless Dan just didn't strike me the right way. Ah HA! It is the digital age....and I can count to 9-1/3 on my fingers.

Shot a buck in a November lighting snow storm in Maine, which is pretty unusual. To this day, I have never seen lightning during a snow storm.
Thunder snow. Grew up in Maine myself have heard it about 2 or 3 times. It is rare. At least ya had tracking snow on the ground. Some Novembers up their you dont get squat and that sucks...
Once I began using computers which created the need for usernames & .............Following the pattern of alpha-numeric titles for Hercules Reloder powders........& being a reloader ............& my birth day being 28. Hercules had not yet claimed the number 28, so I did.
I should trademark it so they’d have to pay me for it if they wanted it.
I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan, usually referred to as the U. P. The people here are call yoopers. Yooper was already taken on the first sight I registered on, so I took Youper, and stuck with it on subsequent sites.

kellory PM you yet?
Hahahahahahaha
"Hey lay off my dungeons and dragons dungeon master, he's legit"
That reminds me of the scene in the movie 5 easy pieces where Jack Nicholson’s character comes up from banging hookers and his T-shirt reads.... TRIUMPH. 🤣

I thought for sure it had something to do with your love for the Spartan Nation! Go Green go White!
I used to hunt and kill quite a few wild hogs. So back in the days before texting when we used radios (still do some places) that what my handle was. It kind of stuck as a nickname in some circles. I been associated with it for probably 30 years.
First initial “R”, first 3 of last name “Ing” and I’m the third so Ring3. Way back when I chose this as it was easy to remember on all the boards which interested me. Stuck with it for all these years.
Tried about 5-6 diffrent Handles, all were taken. I joined because I wanted to learn more about Savage 99s, had a 1899 303 Saddle ring Carbine next to me so tried Saddlering, and it Took!
Last name is Yates, and I've been blessed with no shortage of body hair, so my nickname in the Army became Yetti. Added the t to differentiate from the coolers and bikes.
I started a group of my old highschool grads from 1970. I nicknamed us the rustyzipper club. We would go out to dinner together about once a month. The name sort of happened. I took it up for some internet forums. We still have walker and wheelchair races now and then to see who gets to the dinner table first! We were in our 50s when we started it. Now we are near 70. God Bless. Rusty
Old man I use to sale coons and foxes I trapped too. He called me Fuzzytail. Said If it had a fuzzytail I could catch it in a trap, College money!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A couple of years before I discovered the Campfire, and joined the group, I had wandered into a large gun store that stocked lots of used rifles, looking for something that I had been lusting after: a Savage M-99 in 250 Savage. I had recently inherited my Grandfather's Savage M-99 in 30-30 Winchester. That sparked my interest in the Savage lever-actions. The more I learned about them, the more interested I became in acquiring one in 250 Savage.
Another rifle I had on my want list was a sporterized Springfield 30-06. A friend had one, and I liked the Mauser features and I particularly liked the practical, knurled knob on the end of the bolt to facilitate uncocking the firing pin. I just thought it was a cool idea, and I liked the look.
So, this particular day, I walked into the gun shop and asked the man behind the counter if he had any used Savages in 250 Savage in stock. He said, "Why, yes I do. I have a nice one you may be interested in."
I naturally expected him to produce a M-99 lever-action. Instead, he handed me one of the lightest, trimmest, little bolt action rifles I had ever held, and it had every appearance of being a miniaturized Springfield, right down to that knurled knob on the end of the bolt. I was informed that it was a first-year, Savage Model 1920, made in 1920. (Trimmer and finished better than the version introduced in 1926). It was well used, but had obviously been well taken care of. The bolt slid back and forth as smooth as glass. The price was reasonable and I bought it without hesitation.
I had a lot of fun working up loads for its slow-twist barrel. A friend who was a retired gunsmith created a scope mount that anchored into the rear sight dovetail so that I could mount a scout-scope on the rifle with out any drilling or permanent alteration to the rifle. The rifle's best load used the 75 gr. V-Max bullet and would consistently group just a little over an inch for 5 shots at 100 yards using the scout scope, in spite of the fact that the rifle had a very worn throat, and lots of light pitting the full length of the barrel. (I already had a Hawkeye Borescope in my gun room). I shot many ground squirrels with it in a rocky burn area where most shots were in the 50 yard to 125 yard range. I became a big fan of the 250 Savage cartridge, eventually acquiring my M-99 as well as a Rem M-700 Classic. (My modest collection today also includes 3 Springfield Sporters in 30-06. One is a Sedgley. So, that itch eventually got scratched, too).
So, when I joined the Campfire, that nifty 250 Savage Model 1920 was what had been keeping me busy in the loading room and at the range. It is still a favorite of mine.
Mine was my Navy rating and rank, and my last name, OpticalMan Chief. It was a small, specialized rating that worked on everything that the Navy put glass in (except eyeglasses!) Binoculars, NVS, optical gun sights, compasses, sextants, stadimeters, alidades, big eyes and submarine periscopes. In 2000, the rate was disbanded and the Navy started using more modern binos that were not meant to be worked on, farming everything else out to DOD contractors. I guess I could have snagged a job at the east coast periscope repair facility, but Newport, RI? No, thank you...

I was working at the submarine mast and antenna shop at MARMC in Norfolk, I think that's where we sent the periscopes.anyway thats where I was when I signed on here the first time. I was a Colorado resident in The Navy. the best horse I ever rode was owned by a company and his identifying brand was 1135. So that's how my name was made.
Blatantly stolen from Varmint_Al who maintained an awesome shooting/varmint hunting website. Was BAT_Boy for several years until I sold one of my BAT actioned custom rifles to a fellow in TX. I had 5 such rifles at the time and when he told me that he owned 13 BAT rifles already, I dropped the moniker because I felt unworthy of the name.
