SERVICES
The best compliment a taxidermist can get from customers is, "It looks so real! It looks alive." That's the whole point of taxidermy...to preserve the essence of the animal so that it can continue to be admired and to educate others.
Each piece I create is crafted to a museum-quality replica or mount. I devote the same care to your trophies as I do to my own.
FISH TAXIDERMY
Fish replicas are the new wave of fish taxidermy.
Based on the photos and measurements you provide, I create a realistic replica of your fish. This includes marking, colorings, contours, and the size of your fish.
The markings, the coloring, and the contours of your fish are incorporated to create a unique, original piece of art. I incorporate natural elements, such as driftwood or rocks, which ensures a realistic mount.
Best of all, fish taxidermy allows you to commemorate your catch while the fish gets to live another day.
Services include freshwater fish and saltwater fish.
NORTH AMERICAN GAME
There's a wide variety of domestic big game animals in North America. Some of the most common taxidermy services for big game include whitetail deer, bear, coyotes, elk, wolves, and mountain lions.

If you have an animal not listed, reach out. I will let you know if it's something I can do at UpRiver. Please note that I do not accept animals hunted illegally, pets, or domestic animals.

EXOTIC MOUNTS
Some of the most beautiful and majestic animals come from Europe, Asia, and Africa. If you visit the shop, you will see a variety of mounts, including exotics.
I take great pride in crafting a unique piece of taxidermy art to preserve the memories of your safari or overseas hunting adventures.
Exotic mount services include lions, tigers, elephants, zebras, cape buffalo, impalas, etc.
FIRST MOUNTS
"I love everything about it!"
Some of your favorite memories are probably from when you went hunting and fishing as a kid. Your first memory of the fish you caught or the deer you shot with your dad stays with you forever.
Preserving that moment in time is a beautiful gift that your child can keep for his or her whole life. They can also share these experiences later on with their children.
UpRiver Taxidermy is a business that was built out of the love of family. This will always be a family-friendly business, and I consider it my privilege to create first mounts for your little ones.
