I didn't find out until some time last year that Nimrod was actually a mighty hunter.
Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:812 as the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. The only other references to Nimrod in the Bible are in Micah 5:6, where Assyria is called the land of Nimrod, and in 1 Chronicles 1:10, which reiterates his might.

It's only because of Bugs Bunny that we associate the name with buffoonery.

According to the comments in that article it was Daffy Duck, not Bugs Bunny.
