Boulder student’s award-winning hunting tale

Boulder Elementary 7th grader Emmy Parsons, 13, was among 10 Montana schoolchildren named winners of the Governor’s Youth Hunting Story Contest.

Parsons, who wrote about tracking down a trophy-class, 156-inch buck with her grandfather, enjoyed lunch with Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday, Jan. 12, and received several prizes, including a Stone Glacier backpack, Kenetrek hunting boots, a Sitka coat, and a new gun case. Emmy also won a two-day pheasant and duck hunt at the Whitetail Ranch in Dillon.
