[otzi]

Otzi is the name give to the mummified "iceman" that was found in the Alps in 1991. After I signed up to IS and did some research they say there is an "Otzi"s curse" much like the curse of the pharaohs and I almost changed the name but decided I'd try it for a while and if I had a decent year and didn't fall through the ice I'd stick with it! So far so good and at my age I try not to take any unnecessary chances.

[MoreTroutPls]

When I signed on to IS, I was doing OK catching bass, pickerel and bluegills but wanted to catch more trout.  So, I hoped that by asking politely that I'd catch more.  So far, IS and asking nice has helped a lot.

[badger16]

   
I've done a lot of hog hunting in South Texas with my bow. Well, the third year down there, a buddy of mine from San Antonio shot a badger with his bow. The ranch staff said it was the first badger shot on that ranch in the fifteen years that they had held the hunt. I was blown away, as I didn't even know there were badgers there, let alone that we were aloud to shoot them. The following day, my buddy and I made an unsuccessful stalk on a bunch of javelinas. We turned around and started walking back towards the truck, and we both looked up in time to see a badger run across the sendaro ahead of us. We both looked at each other and shook our heads in amazement. We never told a soul, thinking people would think we were full of bull, and just trying to take the limelight away from our buddy.

          The following year we hunted the same pasture on the ranch. On the last day of the hunt, I was dropped off at a good sendaro for javelina. I also had seen some nice feral hogs in the area. I walked down to a ground blind I had cut in the cactus, and sat down to cool off. I hadn't been there but a few minutes when a lone boar javelina left the safety of the cactus, and mesquite to feed on the corn I had out. Luck would have it that he fed away from my blind, and not towards me. The good thing was he was feeding straight into the wind, giving me a perfect stalking opportunity. I left the blind and went after him. After about a thirty minute stalk, I had closed within range. As if on cue, he turned from straight away to a nice quartering away shot. I managed to get to half draw when movement in the cactus caught my eye. There in a small opening I could see a badger making his way through the thick bush! (keep in mind, I'm an Ohio guy that at that point had only seen one live badger, and one dead one)
          It was all I could do to finish drawing, and get my pin on the badger instead of the javelina. I shot, and couldn't believe my eyes when my arrow found it's mark and slammed that guy! He did a quick spin and made it all of fifteen yards before he was done! I had just killed the second badger on that ranch in the sixteen year history of the hunt!

          Hence the nickname badger16. Awhile back I dropped the 16 as most people on the net were just calling me badger.

Mine was a nickname given to my by friends after a great day salmon fishing in Oswego. I couldn't keep them off the hook that day.

It's the nickname I use for all the sites I visit.  When thinking up a name for my e-mail address years ago I went with B for my first name and the Orion for the constellation of the hunter.  So it became B the hunter 2, since I love hunting for deer and fish.
