BRIAN MOORE
Founder of UpRiver Taxidermy
I create true-to-life taxidermy to preserve your greatest moments.
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.
services
UpRiver Taxidermy specializes in Fish Taxidermy, North American Game, Exotic Mounts, Trophy Restoration, and First Mounts.
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
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
NORTH AMERICAN GAME
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
EXOTIC MOUNTS
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
TROPHY RESTORATON
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.
FIRST MOUNTS
UpRiver Taxidermy is a family-friendly business, and it's my pleasure to create first mounts so your little ones can cherish those memories.
