One night a friend of mine (and Tucker's) and I were going out to Kentucky Lake to do some catfishing. On a small dirt road leading to a remote cove, we encountered a coon hunting competition. That's right--they actually have contests. There were a bunch of people running around with their dogs, scoring judges--barking an yelling; we couldn't wait to get out of there. Looked too much like work. We pulled out our lawn chairs, put on the stink bait and cast out into the dark water. Built a fire, broke out the beer and settled in for a long night of beer drinking and bullshitting. A red fox came up to the edge of the woods and sat down watching the fire. He sat there until a couple of guys in the contest came up and joined us. They were looking for their dogs they said. They pulled out a couple of doobies and sat down to smoke. They drank a few beers and smoked a couple more. They got pretty stoned and left after a couple of hours. We continued to sit there and wait for a bite. About an hour later, 2 more guys wandered up and asked us if we had seen two guys in the hunt. It was almost dawn and they couldn't be found. I told them, "If I was you, I'd look for them at the nearest restaurant or convenience store." After a long night of beer drinking--without catching one catfish--we drove back and came back through the coon hunting competition zone. We asked one of the judges if they had found the two missing guys. He said their dogs came back about 2 hours ago. I told the guy he could probably get them back if he opened up a couple of Twinkies and the wind was right. He looked at me like I was crazy but it was a righteous plan. I knew them boys had the munchies. Coon hunting is a changing sport. Keep up the good work Tucker, and be sure and tape your TV interview.

Hope you have a good time.

Tucker has been trying unsuccessfully to send you an email, though the fact that you've found his blog may signify that he was successful.

I still think Rufus would score in a Knoxville bar before Tucker did. But, they are both handsome devils and I'm sure they would do well on the club circuit. Tucker can probably write better than Rufus, but the jury is not in on that yet. Tucker's promoter, Perry Nelson, says that Tucker learned everything he knows from dawgs.

You are right on about our old friend, Tucker. The picture of him in my mind's eye is his having a story that fits every occasion and how he looks as he laughs and obviously enjoys retelling them.
