Slim,
Since it appears you might be headed it that direction, might want to consider changin' your moniker to one of these genuine terms for a "rustler":
"Brand-burner"
"Brand -blotter"
"Brand-blotcher"
"Brand-artist"
"Long rope"
"Rope and ring man"
Originally, "Waddy" was a name for a rustler, but evolved to mean any cowpuncher.
You can find a definition for the first six in Ramon F. Adams' "Cowboy Lingo".
