People see my forum name and wonder if I'm from Georgia. Nope. I am from Monongalia county in the territory of West Augusta.
A historical territory before there were states. The town where I live is also nicknamed West Augusta locally and the county where I live was
almost called West Augusta county. I live near the E in West Augusta on the map.

How'd you come up with your name?

I have killed many turkey in monongalia WV. Near Bob Town, Gosshin Rd., and more. Also hunted lots in Burnsville Dam area. Love WV, some of the finest turkey hunting around I think.
I got my forum name from close friends and my wife. Here where I live in PA we a have a dragonfly that has always fascinated me and I love watching them. They are also my wifes favorite thing. Gorgeous in color from purples to blu-ish shades and it is called the "Eastern Pond Hawk". This specie of dragonfly is known in science, (you can look it up), for its outstanding hunting abilities, being killing machines, crazy agility and speed.....Like me. *lol* So Friends & my wife call me Dragonfly.---Jason

Steve, Great post. For me it started when one year I killed a gobbler with spurs that had silver like streaks through it. When I joined here, I remembered that gobbler and the fact that my own hair was turning that silver color and that is how I came up with the name silverspur. Not much to it and not interesting either..Lol My next part will be to purchase one of Steve Lumma's silverspur necklace to go with my name on here.

Ever since the net started I have been ghost. Something in the background, unseen. The 5 is a hackers replacement for another letter I'm not a hacker that part comes from one of my favorite books. Even my avatar is part of the joke it is a pic of my shadow so it is the shadow of a ghost ;D ;D. Only one person has figured that out.

Goshen Road and much of Eastern Mon county is now unhuntable. That area is growing very fast. The Burnsville area you can still hunt.

Well growing up in Pa. and reading "Game News" magazine I always enjoyed reading the stories every month by Ned Smith a wildlife artist from Millersburg, Pa. called "Gone for the day" So as I started out the door to go hunting I would tell my wife I'm "Gone for the day" and she would cut in and say yeah I know your "Gone Hunting" Again!!!!!! LOL The 982 is part of my address

About 12 years ago I fished a lot of bass tournaments. I always did well no matter the conditions or how the bite was. My lure was always the same tube lures. I would only fish Gitzit tubes. It started to be a nickname after a while. I was born in 68 so I started using gitzit68 for my email. User names had to be different so I went with 69 on the end.

I'm old and I'm Bob.

when I started out surfing around these forums, I didn't know much about computers and still don't, Lonnielou was part of my email address, Lonnie for me and the lou is the second half of my wifes name, Marylou, I mixed up the part where it says to pick a user name, thinking it had to be part of my email address, so I entered lonnielou, the 688 comes from our favorite NASCAR drivers at the time, #6 for Mark Martin, # 88 for Dale Jarrett, so anyone with any Nascar knowledge knows I've been using this user name now for well over 10 years or so, Mark has moved on to several other owners since then, and Jarrett's head got to big to fit into the car window so he retired since then. Mark was the fellow I followed . My wife hates Nascar now !! >!!

When I first started participating in internet forums in college years ago....I was also involved with lumberjack competitions, like the Stihl Timbersports Series you see on tv, I figured the name was unique enough so have stuck with it!! I added the WV for my beloved home state!!!!

JLC is my Dad's initials. That's him in my avitar. I love that man! Lost him a few years ago and when I needed a name for my calls, that's the first thing I came up with.

When I was born Brian Keith was a popular actor and one of moms favorites. So my first and middle name was set.
Aliff is my last name,so I use my initials BKA. Some folks call me a artist because I do a little painting so I go by BKAart on some other fourms. besides Brian Keith does play a lead role in one of my favorite movies The Mountian Men.

I use to have the handle Cluck-n-Purr, because I love using, those calls in the Spring and Fall. Then my wife gave me the idea for, GR8CALLS, because of my passion of turkey calls and collecting.

When I was a kid growing up, we all hung out wading creeks catching Crawdads, even though I was the youngest of them all, there was not a Crawdad to big for me to grab & I was good at it. When the other guys found one they were afraid to get, they called me. So that's how I got the name.

I enjoy turkeys and everything about them..........
