SHE SHOOTS – Episode 35: Jenna McRae – Animal Artistry

About Jenna:
Jenna McRae is the Owner/operator of McRae Taxidermy which operates out of Mission BC.
Jenna has a long background with farming, fishing and hunting and growing up was raised in a farm to plate type of lifestyle. Her experience with raising animals developed her a keen eye for the structure and mechanics of the animal body. Her creativity and attention to detail lead her to passionately pursue taxidermy where she, after many years of looking, landed a spot as an apprentice under a seasoned taxidermist. She spent a year and a half learning the skills of animal artistry and has since taken off with great speed in the wildlife taxidermy world.
Growing up she spent a lot of time at her family cabin located in Loon Lake just outside of Cache Creek. There she spent Fall and winter hunting deer and moose with her dad and grew to become an avid waterfowl hunter. While in the spring and summers hiking with her belly boat on her back into remote fly fishing lakes targeting Rainbow trout. In the Her passion for fishing eventually expanded to chasing salmon on the river and ocean in Haida Gwaii as well as fly fishing for bonefish and barracuda on the Mexican warm water flats. Her passion for hunting turned into an obsession for chasing deer with her bow. Jenna enjoys shooting skeets and is a member at her local rod and gun club.
Jenna’s love for the outdoor world has made her very passionate about animal conservation and feels if you take, you must give back double. She is proudly involved with the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, The Wild Sheep Society, periodically writes for articles BC Outdoors Magazine and has been a part of numerous conservation groups including the Ducks Unlimited. Where ever she can dip her feet into the industry to help spread knowledge she is there.
