Who would have thought? Andy Griggs a Coon Hunter

Excerpts from an interview with Country singer Andy Griggs:

Tell me something about your hunting trips with your blue tick hounds. I understand you go 'coon hunting a lot. It brings back memories of when I was young and my brothers and cousins would go hunting like you.

Yeah man, I went last night. Every night is a brand new experience to listen to the dogs. I heard probably the prettiest race last night that I've ever heard. The dogs, way off, sounded like a distant midnight train. And finally the race ended with the dogs at the tree, and I enjoyed it so much. I walked up there, shined on the 'coon, said hello, leashed the dogs up and went back to the truck. That's definitely my getaway.

and

he knows what breed to hunt too !!!

but you ain't going to get them done drinking decafe' coffee.

I can appreciate guys in the media trying to do good for the coonhunting sport by using code words. You notice that he used the words, "said hello". Through a top secret WWII decoding method I was able to derive the actual meaning of the code.

"said hello" = "I shot the coon several times before it hit the ground; at which point my blueticks tore it all to pieces."

.

From what I have been told by my elders, that Hank Williams Sr. and Johnny Cash were avid coonhunters as well!!!!!!

I believe Hank Jr was a coonhunter also. I believe he hunted Blueticks.

Jr. hunted Plotts. I had old AD of his but can't find it. Sometimes, folks will post that old ad on here.

Hank Jr.

raised some big game bred Plotts at one time back in the 70's..I remember the American Cooner Ad. He also tried to buy Hammer III from Dean..Of course Dave wouldn't sell him. Lots of country singers have coonhunted...
