    Well I got the nickname 'theWolf'(always the 2 words together and never just 'wolf' due to couple guys with the last name being that) back in my younger whoop it up/bar hopping days from the fact that I always disappeared for 3-4 days at a time usually around the full moon supposedly - gone huntin'(or fishing), out at camp/or tenting it. Got even more of it after that Jack Nicholson movie came out and the fact that when I started to really get scruffy around deer season I looked like the werewolf and the nickname had also sometimes morphed into 'wolfen' or 'theLonewolf'(my name is Lon). So anyway when started to get onto various forums/chats at college in the early nineties just decided to use an Olde English knockoff version so I wouldn't get the message "already been taken" and it has been my screen name and email etc ever since. Never got that message again either.

    Mine came from the name of our archery range I opened a few years back. It flopped but, the name is still here.

    Mine is pretty boring as well. My last name is Atwood so I was called woody for a long time and the numbers are my high school football number 92 and baseball number 20. I've been using it as a screen name/ email adress since high school. So it's easy to remember so why change it now.

    Mine is boring and pretty easy. My alma mater is Auburn hence the War Eagle and my daughter was born while I was a student there in 1996.

    Stringpuller#1..........I thought it sounded cool :)
    Kind of a play on the term pull some strings, like I will get it done.
    Also for the basic act of archery, grabbing the string and pulling it back, like I'm the best archer........:)
    Way cooler names on here for sure :(

    wreckless and 448 come from basic training. It was for a group of 88M (truck drivers) and my roster number was 448. My name is Tim, though.

    I agree Dave that the backcountry is heaven. Especially with those pics you sent me that I have still yet to blow up and put in my new place (been busy). But I absolutely love that pic and I have a place picked for it. It'll happen soon. Stay tooned Haha. :D
