Steven Pollock, president of the Saskatchewan Bow Hunters Association (SBA), told CTV News that Hunter’s dedication to the community and passion for archery is well known.
“The energy that she brings to our club, and just the dedication. She's very supportive of our organization,” he said.
“When we heard that she was sick, it really affected all of us. She's been family to us. We sent her some stuff in the hospital when she had her surgery. We're just extremely happy that it sounds like things are going well.”
Hunter said the support from her “second family” at the SBA has been immense. Additionally, with her Lady Bow Hunter of Saskatchewan award, a major milestone has been reached.
“It's definitely something that has been a goal of mine and this year I've had kind of a run of bad luck. But my hunting luck has sure switched that,” she laughed.
For Hunter, her passion has helped her through some of the toughest moments of her life.
“It's really important to do what you love and have that passion with you throughout it all,” she said.
“That's what bow hunting has done for me. I was able to continue that and do what I love.”
