SANDPOINT — Bonner County hunter Amanda Lowrey is one of four finalists in the “Extreme Huntress” competition and another round of public voting has opened.
Lowrey, 25, made the cut based on prior online voting and judge scores of a head-to-head hunting skills competition in Hondo, Texas, last July.
Episodes from the competition in Texas are currently streaming online and two future episodes will be aired on NBC Sports at end of November and December, according to Lowrey.
“We are on our fifth online episode and I am currently in first place for the skills competition,” Lowrey said in an email to The Daily Bee.
Lowrey is currently in third on the online voting, which remains open until Jan. 1.
The outcome of the popular vote accounts for 30 percent of the final score.
Judges’ scores from the Texas event account for another 40 percent, while skills test scores account for the remaining 30 percent.
As of Wednesday, Candace Crick had 2,445 votes and Mindy Arthurs had 2,412 votes. Lowrey is in third with 1,898 votes and Cheyenne Dahlberg rounds out the top four finalists with 1,020 votes.
The winner will be introduced at the Dallas Safari Club Convention on Jan. 10.
The public can cast votes for Lowrey on the Extreme Huntress website (www.extremehuntress.com/vote/).
