Dusty Tuckness

Riding a 2000-pound-bull that wants you off his back is an unpredictable endeavor.
by Mitchell Riley

Riding a 2000-pound-bull that wants you off his back is an unpredictable endeavor. When you nod your head and the chute opens, anything can happen. You might get hurt, you might win, you might lose. But one thing that bull riders can always rely on is the bullfighter. Dusty Tuckness is a professional bullfighter who makes his living putting his body between the bull and the fallen cowboy. He is the 5-time and reigning Pro Rodeo bullfighter of the year.
