Raffle Winners Harvest Three Elk
Jeff Cowell of Big Timber was a winner in this year's Bugle for Kids raffle benefiting the Sixth Judicial District CASA/GAL Program. The raffle was sponsored by Tom Brokaw and Randy Tobias of the West Boulder Ranch and Twelve Springs Ranch.
The winning raffle ticked provided for an adult and youth to each hunt elk on one of the two ranches. Cowell took his 12 year old grandson, Tristan Manuel, on the hunt at Brokaw's West Boulder Ranch, accompanied by manager Doug Campbell.
Despite having a broken arm Tristan shot a bull in an adventurous hunt that included crawling up a steep drainage before downing the elk. Cowell elected not to hunt but was reportedly thrilled to be out with his grandson having such a good time.
The second raffle ticket winner was Brent Cook of Livingston, who took 17 year old family friend Jordan Foster with him to Twelve Springs where they hunted. Cook shot a cow elk and Foster a five point bull. They were guided by ranch manager Lonnie Clark.
The local CASA program serves abused and neglected children of Park and Sweet Grass Counties.
