    Figured this might be a pretty cool thread. So why did you choose your screen name? What's its meaning or significance to you? Of course those that have their actual name as a screen name we obviously understand that. :D

    REMYNGTON- I chose this screen name because my real name is Jeremy some of my friends call me Remy. I just thought it was a cool play on words with the Remington arms co. name.

    Mine is just a nickname that family and friends call me (Last name Olson so the "ol" come from there) among other things :lol: but then 44 is the number i had for football andwas also my dads number in high school so its my favorite number hence Oly44. If you dont want to call me that you can just use my real name Tyler. It doesnt matter.

    No idea, picked the name probably 10 yrs ago on the other site when I was 12.

    Edit: Just hit me, my dad's hunting buddy used to call me 'deer slayer', still don't know why I put a Z in there.

    At one point I had 13 piercings in my face. I managed a bar at the time that was always full of old rednecks. One of them used to always tell me it looked like I fell in my tacklebox. The name stuck even though I got rid of all the piercings everyone still calls me Tacklebox.

    I am aging. Not really all that old but aging. It is something not everyone gets a chance to do and I am thankful I do.

    Well I usually pull some real bone head moves while hunting. Hence Bone Head hunter... And it has a double meaning of chasing big whitetails with lots of bone on their head.

    My last name is Cook. For years in school, everyone, especially the girls called me cookie. When I met my best friend in high school he said he couldnt call another man cookie lol. So it went to cookie monster, because apparently thats more manly haha. Then it ended up over time getting to C Monsta. Its also been used in fishing because i Catch Monsters! But mostly these days, especially in fishing, Ive been known as Hip Hop, because I wear baggy clothes and listen to rap, which stands out pretty big in the sport.

    My whole family has called me the great white hunter since I started shooting bb guns when I was 4 years old. I would go around the farm and shoot all sorts of random things that impressed my parents and was coined the greatwhitehunter. Oh and 3 is my favorite number and my high school sports number back in the day.

    Since I'm not a total nerd, Skywalker has nothing to do with Star Wars. Sorry to disappoint. I have a tree stand that is pretty high up in a tree, and it is hangs out over a drainage ditch so it feels even taller so we named it Skywalker. It has been my favorite go to stand and it's where I killed my first buck on my property.

    Was dumb and thought numbers and a slash was a good idea at the time. Wish I could change it. But I guess it's been that way for four years now.
