Eric..excellent point.

IMHO we ought to put our or approximate location too.
For those of you worried about identity theft..maybe even the just the state or a section.i.e"SE Pa"

It really helps with the classifieds,but when someone relates info,it is often helpful
to know their geographical context.i.e."it was darn chilly this morning when I set out my decs this morning.

"..when I'm not a huntin', I'm AFISHN"

You have to question a persons intentions if he/she makes a fuss over using their real names. This site is a privilege and not a God given right to use. If they can't see the value, depth, and benefit in this site then they must be missing the boat!

It is comforting to know that there are still some actual people who enjoy hunting and discussing their common love for boats, dogs and anything associated with duck hunting. I believe the new generation of duck hunters ( Mallard Mashers,Pintail Poppers and Duck God ) were created when the Duck Killin' 1, 2, and 3 videos were introduced. Pick a name or a video they all are the same. Thanks for a wonderful websight. Pat Reichley

I do have to agree I do like using my real name here.

but Outdoorplay (ODP) is my handle, I us it on my CB, VHF, Forums.

its like being a truck drive with a handle like little rubber ducky.................



I do think a lot of people on the net. hide behind there handle and say things that they would never say if there real name was on it.

My handle is relevant to some of my NA ancestry.

I don't recall ancestry counting for a real name. Please comply with the rule.

says MESSAGES.......once you get to that point it should be obvious as to how to respond to the private message....

I am a member of many websites, organizations, and forums. I use all for different purposes. This website started out as a search for the "perfect" duck boat. Even though my account is less than 2 days old, I know now what it will be used for. When I want honest, intellectual opinions, help and "olden days" values, I will be right here. On other sites, I'm 1FowlHNTR. Here, I have the freedom to just be ME. Thanks to ALL for providing such a great environment.

Great Call:
I would rather meet someone with there real name instead of some one that thinks he is on his CB driving his semi across country.

Hi Eric,

I believe this rule will set duckboats.net above most other forums, because it will go a long way toward keeping things civil and clean. If a person thinks something is worth posting, they should own it by putting their name on it. Anonymity makes the cowardly brave.

Thank you

I agree. Great Rule!

 The time has come and gone. I'm happy it was followed through with. Why would some one hide behind a nickname etc. Good move. State would also be nice, we might be neighbors???

Great thread ! and I can honestly say I agree with everyone on the real name debate. I'm 43 and have had my share of nick names, most of which went away after high school. But since my hair was red as a youngster all my buddies on the baseball team and in the duck blind called me RED-DOG ! As it is now, most of those buddies are no longer in my life and the guys I hunt and fish with now just call me Kevin ! LOL I'm glad the hair color idea doesn't stick anymore because now most of my hair is grey and " GREY-DOG " just doesn't sound as cool as red-dog used too !! LOL I agree with the younger generation hiding behind nicknames or using a nickname for a social status ranking ! Kind of like the younger guys with all the "duck killa " or "Monster Muley " stickers all over their rigs. I S you not, just last deer season I come out of the local general store in Eastern Oregon where we hunt and a little 2 wheel drive pick-up with those dumb Azz stickers all over the back window is parked right in front of the door. Monster Muleys..Whack em and stack em...and a few others. I take a look in the back of the rig and there is a baby spike and a small forked horn !!!
I looked at the 20 year olds like..Are you serious ??? "
I guess somne people are raised different, but my dad and grandpa would have slapped the taste out of my mouth if I showed up in deer camp with my rig looking like that and I never got to shoot small bucks after prob age 16 - 17 !! Anyway, I love the real name idea, and I have looked over a few diff "duck" chatrooms and none of them compare to this one . I'm very new here and just from my first few posts I have recieved very positive feedback and I have been actually offered help for the questions I have posted. Just feels like I'm talking to guys I would stand around the fire and have a beer with! !
