lit a shuck 

The phrase means to depart in haste for another location, especially in the dead of night. It is derived from the use of corn shucks as convenient torches for lighting the way home.

As heard at 33:57 minutes into the movie “No Country for Old Men”
“the glass is stlll sweating (condensation), I believe they lit a shuck.”
