When I shoot, it is either "Hit" or "Miss". Seems to be more missing than hitting most of the time...LOL!!!

Lots used to know me by several handles.  In college, on the rodeo team it was Johnny Reb.  When I started hunting trad style, rare back then, it was Longbow.
When I started here I went with JAG.  From our "Ranch" brand.  Stands for Johnny & Angela Gottler.  If I were more 'puter literate, I'd put up a copy of the brand itself.

I was a pretty good guy and headed for hell when I ran headfirst into God's grace and made Jesus Lord of my life.  I decided then and there that I would "follow" hard after him the rest of my days.  Therefore: Follower.

Grace and Peace

O.K. But yus guys can't tell anyone. I DO have a reputation to protect ya know.

I was guarding a cabin in Colorado for the owners who didn't spend the winters in it, to keep it from getting broken in to. There were a few other owners scattered over several miles of canyons that I didn't have any contract with, but I would patrol just outta a sense of responsibility. These places were getting broken into during the winter, which was how I was there in the first place. Their property was right on the border of a national forest. It was just me and 40 sq. miles of wilderness area. I grew my beard and didn't cut my hair for a while. Spent a lot of time tramping over those mountains, cutting firewood, exploring, hunting. I LOOKED like a mountain man!   :archer:  

 I used to go into town and get books from the library and got to know the girl who worked there, and became friends with her. Well one day I invited her up to my cabin for the weekend.

She told another girl she worked with she was coming up to visit, and the girl said "With him? In the mountains? All alone? But he looks so DANGEROUS!"  I'll have ya know I treated the librarian very politely and did NOT try to take advantage of her.
 (Although I can't say the same of her!  Women...they're all alike! Only after m' body! I DO have a brain too ya know!)   :biglaugh:  

So she started calling me Dangerous Dan the Mountain Man and the name stuck all these years.   :D

On another site, I originally posted as The Nuge. Sorta as a joke but because I enjoy watching the show. Then a mod came around and said I needed to change it because people actually thought I was Uncle Teddy, so I went with the obvious, I'm Not Ted. Stuck.

Naturally, when I First got a Dreaded Wheelie Bow, I was OverBowed BIG Time......Shakes, did a lot of that, Youch.  :scared:   6 = June, 02 = 2002. I got my Son his Very First Little Compound Bow, and of course Teaching HIM to Shoot it, I HAD to get one!
  So, June 2002 was when My Son and I First Started shooting together!  :thumbsup:

(pure luck because ive never been that good of a shot)after that he told that story to everybody and when id go to 3-d shoots everybody started calling me the rabbit buster.

Well, some 47 years ago, my parents named me Thomas. Now I have never gone by Thomas, and few are allowed to call me Tommy, but remembering my own name is easier than remembering a handle.

Pretty self explanatory-

I know. It's very original.
