When it comes to priorities, Jackie Gross files hunting under "extreme."
"When hunting season is here, that's it. It's my passion," said Gross, 29. "I'd leave my fiance at home sick to go hunting if I have a tag. Call his mom and tell him to take some Airborne."
Gross, who grew up in Louisiana and relocated to the Western Slope town of Silt to pursue her passion after college, is considered among the nation's most extreme huntresses. With a little help, she could qualify as the most hard-core huntress in the eyes of the "Eye of the Hunter" outdoor program's Extreme Huntress 2012 contest hosted by Tahoe Films (Tahoefilms.com).
Gross is among 10 finalists in the third annual competition to select the nation's toughest female hunter. Her 500-word essay earned her a spot in the finals; now she needs some support from the online community that votes to determine the winner, who will be awarded a televised safari hunt for cape buffalo in Zimbabwe.
