    I know this has probably been a post in years past but I haven't seen it since I've joined and I'm bored. A lot of them are obvious but I find myself wondering if there are some good stories behind some of the usernames on here. Shocker came to me because after hunting hard for about 2 weeks, me and my hunting buddy hadn't killed or even seen anything. Well we were going out for another hunt and had to drop his 8yr old son off at the sitters. He asked if I was actually going to kill anything. I said well yea of course I am! Then he proceeded to say "That would be a real Shocker"! Haha little jerk. The "99" is the age I'll probably hang up bowhunting and start playing golf

    Mine is simply because I am from Minnesota. I am pretty proud of my state with the exception of the vikings.

    Schultzy believes I savage the local teams, fact of the matter I am an objective fan, pretty rare in Minnesota it is usually a referees fault or some other series of unfortunate events.

    I can't say I'm proud of my state as far as the government it's right there with the worst of them. but I do love the land. If I was a little smarter I'd hop across the river to Missouri and pay a hell of a lot less in taxes.

    My username & nickname came from when i was staying at and watching my friends house while they were gone. They were expecting some renters to deliver rent checks which i was expected to gather as they showed. One of the renters asked if i was my friends daughter to which i said no. They she asked if i was my friends sister to which i said no. Then she asked if i was related at all because i looked so similar to my friend to which i said no. Frustrated, she threw the rent check at me and left as i chuckled. Told the story to my friend upon her return. She & her husband started calling me "Junior" from there on since. Granted my friend and i are both about 6 ft with brown hair and girls but thats about where the similarities end!

    My first vehicle was a 51 Jeep Willys. Bought it from my uncle for $600 because it wouldn't run. Worked on it for a few weeks and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't stay running. Dad finally got ticked off, jumped in it and floored it till there was a loud explosion. Pressure built up in the muffler causing it to bust at the seams. Mud daubers had built nests in the tail pipe almost sealing it completely off. Ran great after that and sounded good to boot. Wish I still had it.

    "Swamp" came from the fact that I owned and hunted on a non-buildable wetlands. "stalker" is not what local women refer to me as. It's how I want to hunt, by still hunting and stalking.

    Edit: correct my run on sentence.

    I would have to verify that with the local vixens in your town before I take your word for it.

    I just want to be like my bro, Greg/MO. Only my name's not Greg... and I'm not from MO. I'm a fan of simplicity.
    I love it when members create their names after a bow brand -or better yet, a particular model. Then, 3 or 4 bows later... lol.

    Clearly, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars........

    Not really, I actually named the first stand location on my Property Skywalker because it's way the hell up there and I liked the ring of it.
