Claire Eckstrom (below) is a Nebraska native who is just as comfortable in stilettos as she is in her hunting boots. She will graduate with a degree in fashion design and an emphasis in entrepreneurship in December; Claire then plans to pursue her masters in fashion business in either London or New York City.
Hunting is part of her family heritage, having grown up in fields and blinds throughout the state, but western Nebraska captures much of her outdoor spirit. In addition, she has also been blessed with a keen sense of wit. To that point, here are her top ten reasons every woman should be a hunter.
1. Coming face-to-face with a bull elk could add that necessary element of danger your day job is lacking – because avoiding Steve from accounting has become too easy.
2. It’s a much cheaper way to get organic meat than Whole Foods.
3. All of your friends think that you’re a real-life Katniss, which reminds them why it’s in their best interest to stay on your good side.
4. It opens a whole new realm of possible comebacks to “make me a sandwich.”
