My Nickname

[Red Badger]

My SASS alias is SFT, although I just use my real first name here on TMC. I took that nickname/alias to honor my late grandfather who was a member of the AVG/Flying Tigers (Sons of the Flying Tigers) but rather than go through the entire explanation I just say it stands for Santa Fey Trail where my cowboy persona was born.  Someday I hope to earn a proper nickname befitting my current experience.

By the looks of your vehicle after the last two Hog hunts we ought to call you rubbing Buffalo.... they sure do like your vehicle for rubbing on even when they have several to choose from...

Rubbing Buffalo!

[flintboomer]

I am Flintboomer for obvious reasons even though I shoot percussion too. I am also Elk Killer because so many have fallen to my rifles and my SASS name is Flash Boom which describes a very slow flintlock. I have also been called Straight Arrow because of my lifestyle. I am proud of all of them.

[crazell]

my nickname started when i was a very young boy. i was 3 years old when my momma started to call "crazell".(I'M NOW 47) i was the kid that had to wear bells or anything that would make noise. her and the rest of the family thought i was crazy or something. i got into everything and out of everything my mom said. so I've been called that by my family and older friends. my shoot'n name is "row". but i know brokenhawk will probably give me a different name. I'm a little concerned . his name suits him fine. he brakes at least 1-2 handles every rondy!!!when he sticks it, HE STICKS IT!!! 

[Loaf]

Well, I am new to the form but I got a nickname, it's because of my surname name Baird, there is a bread co. in the Texas area called "Mrs.Baird Bread" some call me doughboy but I like The Loaf it fits because, I am as big as a loaf of bread.

Robert "The Loaf" Baird so its just Loaf, besides I am lazy and I Loaf around.

[Sinnanatha]

When I first started,  I was spending my summers as the waterfront director at the local boy scout camp.  I was given the nick-name 'Big Fish'.  Then, in the process of reading Eastern NA history, I encountered the person in Shawnee history called 'Sinnanatha'-'Big Fish'.  He was a white who had been captured and adopted into the tribe.  So the story is-I am a Wendat warrior/legend teller (born and raised in Wyandotte, Michigan-Wyandotte being what the English settlers called the Wendat), who was given the nick-name 'Sinnanatha' by his Shawnee brothers when he was fighting the English in the Ohio Valley, circa 1750-1760's.  And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

[Red Badger]

Hmmmm,  I was just re reading the posts here and relalized that I have not updated my "Red Badger" name. 

Some of you may remember when I changed my handle from JamminJim to Red Badger.... I was at the Grouse Creek Rendezvouse with a Lakota Elder who asked me my cmap name.  Upon hearing that I did not have one he left me alone for a while and went to his camp, the next thing I heard was him hollering to the camp loud enough to wake the dead and walking toward me.... He grabbed me by the arm and announced to the entire camp that he had been walking in the spirirt world meditating on me, he saw a red badger in his vision ad decreed that from that time forward I would be known as Red Badger.

I am honored that he took the time to seek a name for me - a pilgrim who had at theat point only been to three rendezvous befroe that.  I will use that name for the rest of my life....

[ADK Bigfoot]

"Bigfoot" was given to me after a bunch of us were caught in a snowstorm while hunting in the Adirondacks.  Some of the old guys were concerned about getting out the five miles to the trucks in all that snow.  Someone suggested that I lead them out, breaking trail for them since I have a size 14 boot and leave a pretty large track.  The name just stuck.

[Hawken50]

  Well since i'm a dispatcher for a trucking company my nicknames are not for a family friendly site.

Two stories about nick-names. Mine is "Hang-Fire". Here's how I got it. I went to a range and saw this youngster trying to get his Hatfield flintlock rifle to go off. He kept getting a flash in the pan. I told him, "keep it pointed down range for at least 2 minutes and I'll help you..." Rifle had been loaded with patched ball and PYRODEX which is why he had no ignition. So I made sure ball was seated, picked the vent clear and worked some 4F into the vent. Prime and fire. Pan flashed, then ssssss....boom! Youngster was happy. We looked at the target and I had drilled it dead center. So the name stuck.
Second story. A buddy of mine who is now deceased was shooting at range. He was aiming his rifle and about to fire when he passed gas. Not just a little "toot" but a real buck snorter. Someone shouted "Who fired that?"And someone else said, "Everyone knows it's Windy"Well, he was already known as "Weasel" so he became "Windy Weasel" after that.
