THIS model is both catwalker and deerstalker — because she also runs a taxidermy business.
Gun-toting Texan Kristen Ottea, 25, is a keen hunter who devotes as much of her public profile to posing with dead animals as she does in glam bikini shots.

Krista's modelling has taken her to New York, London and SingaporeCredit: Instagram / Kristen Ottea
Kristen, whose first kill was a feral hog when she was 14, said she loves hunting because she "gets to travel all over the place, you get to be outdoors, and after I shoot 'em I get to do taxidermy on them".
Meanwhile, her modelling career has taken her to London, Singapore, New York and Los Angeles.
She said she feels "blessed" to work both jobs — a combination that she said often leaves people "blown away".
