My name is Darren Shipp. I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but most of my upbringing was in eastern Manitoba. Growing up in the outdoors has been a great journey and experience simply because of the beauty of the lakes, rivers and wildlife. At the age of seven I was introduced to trapping, hunting and fishing, at which point my passion for bow hunting started almost immediately.

At the young age of twelve years, I harvested my first white-tail deer with a bow. My hunting experiences have taken me through Canada and the United States. I’m involved in about every type of hunting, I sit on boards of multiple hunting organizations, and am very actively involved in promoting hunting to all age generations.

I am also a member of:
Northland Bowhunters
Archers and Bowhunters association of Manitoba
Pope and Young Club
(Executive Vice President) Manitoba Bowhunters Records Club
Manitoba Wildlife Federation
Labrador Retriever Club of Manitoba

Out of this passion for the outdoors and hunting was born my life’s profession and mission – to dedicate the same amount of effort and detail to preserving the natural beauty of the animal and put into harvesting it. The wildlife art created in my studio is very different from ordinary taxidermy.  Every trophy mounted is given special attention necessary to achieve a perfect wildlife creation.

On behalf of Wild North Taxidermy, I extend my deepest gratitude to my clients for being true sportsman whose efforts have saved so much of Manitoba’s game animals for future generations. Our wildlife is our priceless heritage and we have to all play a part in its conservation.

At Wild North Taxidermy, our art captures all the majesty and glory the animal possesses in life.Also on this site you sill find more that just Taxidermy information. You will find information on archery supplies, hunting supplies, gunsmiths, and much more to help you with you outdoor experience
