21 Jun Elle Bucher

The daughter of Bill and Penny Bucher, Elle is a 17-year-old senior at Big Sky High School. Born and raised under the Big Sky Elle grew up on her family’s Ranchette in Missoula. A member of the National Honors Society, and Health Sciences Academy at Big Sky High School, Elle looks forward to graduating and going onto pursue a degree in marketing at the University of Montana. In her spare time, Elle enjoys all of the pleasures of living in Montana, including hunting, floating the river, and riding her horse. She is blessed with a wonderful gelding, named Whopper, who has carried her through rough country and the dirt of the rodeo arena.

Elle hopes to continue the preservation of rodeo and our heritage by traveling the state, and sharing her love for our western way of life with the community. She feels blessed to have the opportunity to represent Montana this year as your Miss Teen Rodeo Montana 2023.
