Forty years ago a friend of mine in Alaska starting calling me Posco after a supposedly famous black mountain man named Posco Chubb. He couldn't have been a very famous mountain man as I've never been able to find his name anywhere, but the nickname stuck.

I've been trapping coons since 1974, the #11 double jaw is my favorite trap for catching them.

My Birdman came from my niece calling me this to her Dad when I would call, she would say birdman is on the phone. Birdman because I shot so many pheasants and love to hunt them. She say's does he ever miss a shot, not very often.

I was purt near born a squirrel hunter. Dad started me at 9 years old in 1962.
Squacks was how my Kentucky hunting buddy described a squirrel bark. I use the label on any forum I join.

Love spending time in the woods here and I couldn't think of anything clever to put as a tag name.

Named after the lake by my farm. Was named for my great great grandfather who homesteaded there. Also the name of my fur buying business. It was the first place I ever trapped.

Mine gets a bit dragged out to tell.. At the fire station the guys started calling me "MacGyver The Diver" because I was a diver and always rigging things. We were watching the TV show and old MacGyver was diving so I got dubbed that handle which got shortened to just MacGyver..
So it was in late 1980s I got the MacGyver handle...
Fast forward to around 1997 I got a hand me down 386 Hewitt Packard computer from my sister. She was setting it up for me helping me get an e-mail account.. I wanted to use the MacGyver name for my e-mail. But that being popular I would have ended up like MacGyver a million or some crazy number.. So my sister started messing around did the Macthediver and no others popped up.
So Macthedvier it was.
First time I logged into the old chat here on T-man I used the only internet name I had at the time. Been that then ever since.

The signature I use below goes back to an old timer I knew. Heard him use a variation of it the first time when was about 10 years old. Decided it fit myself in more than one way to remember,, so hung on to it.
