The story is I was a real cranky baby, probably colic or something. My parents tried everything to no avail. My Great Grandpa, who was born in the 1880's came to visit and suggested a little whiskey, honey and tea. Worked like a charm. He called me a little Toper, an old term for a drinker. It stuck and was eventually shortened to Tope. Grandpa also gave me my first .22 when I was 5, a Winchester model 90 22WRF. Still have it. He passed when I ws 20, sure miss those stories about Montana in the old days.
I like it... Good story.

My intials are AMP and Ive always gone by that, Threw the 713 on the end when i first started to check out forums. 7 being one of my lucky numbers and since our family has always said "if it wasnt for bad luck we'd have no luck at all" I decided an unlucky number must be my other lucky number so 13.

I tried three other names and the forum kicked them all back, so out of frustration, just used my name!

I believe America is the greatest country in the world and am very patriotic. I hate that liberals want to take the phrase "In God We Trust" off of our money and God out of every thing else. So I used it as my name.

My forum name is just my own name. My forum name is not all that creative. When I saw In God We Trust's forum name I said a big AMEN. Seeing what you wrote about how you came up with your name, again I say, AMEN.

I picked mine because I root for the good team in Montana... and 61 was my jersey number when I played there. Oh and FTG :)

when my grandfather was alive, he used to sit me down and talk about those wiley wapiti's..... how it was just for food and that he never brought home a set of antlers because grandma would just throw them out. he used to say...."them damn wiley wapiti's fooled me again boy, but ill get'em tomorrow." as he unpacked his international scout.

ill never forget his hunting stories, they were the best.

I like velvet Muleys and we all experience buck fever so that's my name.

Some think it should be "velvet feather" though ;)

I picked it bc it's what my friends call me anytime I leave for a hunt. They know my wife will tag along and I end up being the pack mule. She can take care of herself, but i have to baby her a lot so nothing happens to her.


Although, I think electronics guru has a better ring to it.

I came up with mine after hunting in the Frank Church, one of the drainages Woodtick Creek was the most god awful nasty country I've ever been in and I haven't hunted that hard in my entire life and probably never will again in my life. It was 12 miles in one way with a 65 lb pack and there was no trail, good thing I had just finished up football season and was in the best shape I had ever been in.

I'm among the noncreative types. JasonGNV entails my first name, last name initial and the state I live and love. I'm obsessed with hunting and prefer hunting my hounds above all else but I hunt it all. Chasing muley bucks with stick and string comes a close second. I guess I could have been more creative with my name, something like Hunt365HoundemBucksBearsLionsObsessiveBullsBirdsSpeedgoatBackcountryFamilyBowHorseTraditionsNVBootleather!!!!!. Ya I think I'll change my name, I like it!

I must have been tired and out of creativity and just went with my last name - figured no one else would have it. Its very uncommon.

Later, I thought I should get something more snazzy, but then I thought at least if I meet one of you guys in the outdoors, you'll make the connection faster than if you just knew me here by my handle.
