TESTIMONIAL
"I had Upriver Taxidermy do a couple of skull mounts for me and they turned out top-notch. My Dad gave him two shoulder mounts based on his previous skulls, and man did his work speak for itself! Brian knocked them out of the park with the back-to-life shoulder mounts. Couldn’t be any happier and look forward to bringing Upriver more in the future."
