HOOEY WALLETS

The term 'hooey' refers the to the last wrap, actually a half-hitch, taken during tiedown roping...right before you throw your hands up to stop the clock.  I competed primarily in tiedown as a kid so it was a word I heard all the time.  Plus it's a term everyone within the sport is familiar with.  If you listen for it, you'll probably hear the announcer mention 'hooey' at just about every rodeo.  You could say the term 'hooey' has been around since the first rodeo back in 1872
