I do some 18th century re-enacting and my "persona" is that of a Pennsylvania German immigrant.  I'm also a church choir director in both the 18th century and 21st century "persona's".

I was the Deputy Sheriff at the South Rim of Grand Canyon for almost 17 years. I often was referred to by my peers as the "Canyon"

I am an Okie but worked in northern Missouri (which is a hunting and fishing paradise) for 8 years then moved back to Oklahoma when I entered my user name I forgot to capitalize the M and second O and ended up with mookie instead of MoOkie.

Mine actually has nothing to do with hunting. It came from my highschool football coach. As a offensive guard sometimes I had to poll and one time I really took out a guy. When I got back to the sidelines the line coach hit me on the pads and said " You took him out like a bull moose man!" After that some of the other players started calling me mooseman and it just kinda stuck.

I live in California and I like my bow.
Plus it's only 6 letters which works well with my lack of typing skills.

I like mustard and biscuits.  Just not together.  Reference to movie "Slingblade".  I like flingin' arrows; particularly when there is a blade on the end and I'm out there after the critters.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Well my last name is Milano and a friend started calling me Mint because of the cookies and it stuck. Of course when I was hunting with Fred Eichler and my friend called me that he had to change to just "Cookie" and his wife Michelle had to announce that at the Muzzy Shoot so some people call me "cookie" now. I'll get him back one day.

The trapper part is pretty obvious.  "zeke" is not my real name, but a future good friend in college misheard my name (steve) when we were first introduced, and kept calling me that and I never corrected him.  My other friends decided it fit my outdoorsman and living history hobbies, and I liked the uniqueness compared to my more common real name, so it stuck.

I have had the nick name Guido for Years, In 1996 I moved to a town in New Jersey called Mystic Islands. That is when I added Mystic to Guido to get mysticguido.
