What's In A Name?
Just curious......some of you people have some odd user names! I just wondered if anyone was willing to share what his/her board name meant or how they came by it. Mine was originally given to me by a fishing friend who calls me Johnny Rainbow, since I'm just as passionate about Steelhead/Rainbow Trout fishing as I am about Bowhunting Whitetails. I just shortened it to J-Bow. Now I can use it to cover both of my favorite outdoor pursuits.
Just Wondering!

RE: What's In A Name?
I used several handles in the past. Started out as LittleJohn on bowsite, then that name got stolen by someone else. Tree, Sherwood - Those were nicknames I had as a teenager (Tall as a tree. Then tall as a forest. Since I shot bows-n-arrows, it was obviously Sherwood forest ) and tried to use, but they were both taken or stolen.
So, when I got tired of having my handle hijacked, I just start using my name and initial.

I used Buck Magnet because it was a nickname that my best-friend and I came up with for my dad. Whenever he talks of hunting, we like to poke fun at him about how he use to "hunt in -10 degree weather, 4 feet of snow, and winds at 80 mph, and still kill deer", so, I just picked it as my name and I have stuck with it ever since

RE: What's In A Name?
My user name kinda has two meanings by accident. When I started thinking about a name I tried to think of something that would "fit me".
Since I bow hunt and turkey hunt most of all, I spend a lot of time in camo clothes so... CamoHunter.
Also I also saw CamoHunter arrows and thought that kind of fit also.
Good question, it's interesting to hear the reasons behind peoples names.
