there's a post on nicknames for big bucks, might as well hear some nicknames we call our buddies during hunting season.

1. "spook and release" (obvious)

2. "click" (always forgets to load the gun)

1. "DeSoto" long story about a single guy in a nightclub

2. "Smurf" photoshopped hunting pic

3. "Gutter" no longer a member of our group, but always running with a knife hoping to gut someone's deer

4. "Antsy" he'll be out of his stand by 8a.m. opening morning

Don't know that we really have many. I guess my Dad gets called the tracker a lot, because he just likes to follow blood trails & will stay on them even if they're not his, plus he gets bored sitting in the stand.

Everybody pretty much gets called the deerslayer if they shoot a deer or two off their stand opening morning. Right after they congratulate you on your deer & it's drive time they say: "Well you've got your walking papers." That means it's time for you to start getting off some heavy clothes as you probably won't be in a stand again until evening. Nobody usually minds as they're happy they got a deer already.

[brassman]

I'm "Doe killer"

my dad is "Stogie"

others.

"Lumpy Butt" (entails a fishing trip up north on a ranger box involving many mosquitoes.

"Scoot"

"Cook"

"Bern" (real name) really doesn't have a nickname.

there are others that I cannot remember right now.
