Mine is my persona for my muzzleloader club based on my dutch oven baking. I've written some gear reviews for Cabela's under that handle so it was natural to use here.

from WA Mtnhunter wrote 1 year 22 weeks ago

My blog name was Mtnhunter, pretty self explanatory for one who chased elk in the mountains. Added the "WA" (Washington State) after some zero hijacked my name on a blog by adding a period. Not a very complicated or intriguing tale.

from JImp wrote 1 year 22 weeks ago

Mine is an acronym made up of my first name (jim) and the first letter of my last name. It goes back to high school when my folks served a formal dinner for four couples before one of our proms. One of the guys was dating a young lady, who shall we say wasn't selected for her intelligence. To keep the location of where we were having dinner, he told her we were going to a new restaurant called "JIMPS". The ruse worked. Whether the rest of the evening was as successful I will never know as he was too much a gentleman to say.

When I was 16 I shot a pitbull that was killing my neighbors dog. So pb stands for pitbull and it happened on Dec 17.

I saved the dog, but since it wasn't on my property, I was charged with curelty to animals and had to do 100 hours of community service, pay $1,000 dollars for the dog, then all of the court and lawyer costs. That turned out to be one expensive good deed.

I grew up in South Dakota, hunting and fishing all over the state for the abundant varieties of game. Although I have moved to many different parts of the country for work and have thoroughly enjoyed each of them, I will always be a SD man. I guess you can take the boy out of the state but you can't take the state out of the boy.
