Founder of UpRiver Taxidermy
As a sportsman, you know that moment - the one where you make the ultimate catch or kill. The one where you accepted the greatest challenges that nature has to offer and won.
I have worked and trained with some of the best in the taxidermy world, including the late Bill Fuchs. Using that experience, I handcraft realistic, true-to-life pieces that capture the essence of the animals and your ultimate moments with them.
Taxidermy is where art, skill, and science meet. In addition to capturing that moment, preserving animals allows you to display, study, and admire the beauty of your animal.
As a taxidermist, I take great pride in respecting the sacrifice made by your animal and recreating it to its true glory. As a fellow sportsman, I devote the same care to your mounts as I do to my own.
Fish taxidermy is one of my greatest passions. Some of the local favorites include brook trout, rainbow trout, bass, and crappie.
Freshwater Fish
Saltwater Fish
UpRiver Taxidermy creates and preserves mounts of most North American animals. Some of the most popular mounts are:
Whitetail Deer
Bear
Elk
Mountain Lion
Coyote
Moose
Wolf
UpRiver Taxidermy offers exotic mount services. Early in my training, I learned extensively about exotic mounts. Some of the mounts I currently offer include:
African Mounts
Asian Mounts
European Mounts
Over time, your mount can deteriorate. There are lots of factors for this, including insects, water, sunshine, or inappropriate cleaners.
If you have a mount that needs repair or restoration, contact me for a quote.
UpRiver Taxidermy is a family-friendly business, and it's my pleasure to create first mounts so your little ones can cherish those memories.
For a complete listing of the animals that I preserve, you can view our price guide.
Please note that prices are an estimate based on experience. Actual prices are subject to change based on availability, demand, or size of the animal.
If you are interested in taxidermy services for an animal not listed, please ask! I am always interested in trying something new. (Please note, however, that I do not preserve pets or domestic animals.)
