I was posting on a professional wannabe Bass Fishing site about 15 years ago using the name "Van" which is my middle name. Someone on the site suggested that we add the 2 letter abbrev of our state to our handle so that other folks would know where we were coming from when we posted our Bass fishing tips, lies, etc.

 
I started using Van/TX. Shortly after I posted my recipe for fried Bass Fillets and changed my Handle to "Bass Eater" I was booted off the site. Seems that none of the wannabe professional yuppie bass fisherman had ever actually cleaned a bass much less killed or cooked or eaten one.

They thought I was out to exterminate the Bass population of the entire US because I kept an occassional bass to eat ;-)

Anyway, I left the site post haste

I kept the handle "Van/TX"...

Danny, you bring back some memories for sure ;-)...Van

Worked the South Rim of Grand Canyon for 17 years.. When I showed up at the main office I was referred to as the Canyon guy. I also love to hunt large Canyon Country spot and stalk style.

OK...but don't tell anyone about this. I gotta a reputation to uphold ya know.

Back in the winter of 1980 I was guarding a cabin in the Rockies. Just me and 40 square miles of wilderness area.
I used to go into town to the library and get books to read, and got to be friends with the librarian.

Now at the time I was pretty shaggy, beard and long hair-I looked like a "mountain man".

So one day I invited the lady to come up and visit with me at the cabin over the weekend, and she accepted.
When she came up she told me that she had told another girl at the library that she was going to be coming up to the cabin with me. She said the response she got from her friend was "With HIM? But he looks so dangerous!" What? ME? I'm a pussycat!
So she, and everybody I knew, started calling me Dangerous Dan the Mountain Man.

Morningstar is the model of canoe I use. I always liked the name and the predawn piece it represents.  What hunter can't relate to a dark blue cold morning sky with those crisp stars hanging up there.

LPM was hung on me during an ELK hunt in Colorado in the mid 1990's.  I was camped with three of my traditional hunting friends. There was a camp a mile or so away made up of some good o'l boys from Arkansas.  One's name was Jimmy.  We called him Arkansas Jimmy.  I tend to become somewhat of a mad man when it comes to Elk hunting.  I leave before daylight and return often after dark.  Back then I covered as much ground as posible, always on foot.  It just happend that I crossed paths with Jimmy a long ways from camp.  He would travel by Quad runner  hunt an area then travel to another mountain for an afternoon hunt.  We parted ways and I felt pretty ambitous that day and decided to hunt Porter mountain about 5 miles north east of where I had met Jimmy.  Yeah you guessed it I bumped into him again on Porter mountain and then again when I was finnished hunting and returning to my camp passing by his camp on a trail.  He had later told my friends that I was the "walkenest" man he ever saw.  Well the guys started making a joke about it and calling me the "Legend of Porter mountain"  LPM.

My two sons came in from playing one day and gathered up a handfull of potatoes from the kitchen.

"Where do y'all think y'all are going with those?" I said. I knew the answer would be very interesting. It was.

My youngest son said, "The knew boy down the street has a whole sack of potatoes, and when we walk by, he whops us with them."

"Yeah," my oldest son said, "and we are fixin to give Mr. Jo Jo Tater a taste of his own medicine. Hey, let's use sweet potatoes; they're bigger."

That was 15 years ago, and I still laugh about it. Oh, I didn't let them take the sweet potatoes; I like em too much. However, my wife didn't miss a few red spuds.

"Jo Jo Tater." I liked that.  :goldtooth:

Actually my Bubba's nick "Nakohe" also means Bear in other indian languages. Fits him as well as he is a bear of a man.

Mine is just my name. Been thinking on changing it to "Yannashchito" my Choctaw name but seems kinda long, sides, everyone knows me as Danny.

  "are you feeling ok because you look a little pale"!    :saywhat:    

"Sure honey I feel just fine now that you gave me my screen name."    :pray:

Wary Buck.  Felt it kind of described my normal mode of operation.  I'm pretty wary of many things:  any newfangled 'trend' at work (education), ANY politician, most of the women in my life, etc.

When I got remarried, I got a note from Steve Hohensee who just said, "Not Wary enough."
