GALLERY
Browse through my work and see for yourself what makes UpRiver Taxidermy different—where art meets the wild.
Every mount tells a story. Whether it’s the thrill of a first hunt, the challenge of landing a record-breaking fish, or the adventure of an international safari, taxidermy is the way to relive those moments for generations.
At UpRiver Taxidermy, I specialize in museum-quality mounts that capture the essence of your hunt or catch. My work blends art, precision, and craftsmanship to ensure each mount reflects the lifelike beauty of the animal. In this gallery, you’ll find examples of the various types of taxidermy services I offer, from North American big game to intricate fish replicas and majestic African and Asian trophies.
- Fish Taxidermy – Whether it’s a largemouth bass from your favorite lake or a stunning rainbow trout, I create hand-painted replicas that preserve your catch with incredible realism. Every scale, color variation, and unique marking is carefully reproduced.
- North American Big Game Mounts – From whitetail deer and black bear to elk and turkey, I use advanced sculpting and high-quality materials to create shoulder, pedestal, and full-body mounts that bring the wild into your home.
- Exotic & African Mounts – International hunters trust me to preserve their trophies from safaris, mountain hunts, and European expeditions. Whether it’s a kudu, red stag, or Marco Polo sheep, my work showcases the power and grace of each species.
- First Mounts for Kids – A child’s first successful hunt or big catch is a memory worth preserving. My customized, kid-friendly mounts offer an affordable way to celebrate these milestones.
Each mount in this gallery is a one-of-a-kind creation, crafted with the same dedication and attention to detail that I bring to every piece of my own collection.
Walls are full of great taxidermy work. Lots of animals that aren't local.
