Fun Facts about Hunter: Hunter’s professional career took off when he started roping with world champion Matt Sherwood. That experience got him to his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2019. He made it again the next year with Canada’s Kolton Schmidt. Then he started roping with Luke Brown and finished 25 th in 2021 and 32 nd in 2022. This year, thanks to $6,000 won the last day of the season, he and Luke will rope together at the Thomas and Mack Arena. Hunter didn’t grow up roping. His father farms and ranches and his mother is a teacher. He started tie-down roping when he was young and was self-taught. He got help from Gary Jacobs in Vernon and started taking team roping seriously. Now it’s his life and he’s loving it. He’s sharing that love with his new wife McKenna. They got married last May and will be celebrating in Las Vegas.
