My name is Saige Griffis West. I am a Colorado native with a degree in wildlife biology, and I am the owner and operator of Wild Goose Chase Taxidermy Studio. I am an artist and a naturalist who is passionate about conservation and the restoration of our country's remaining wild places, and hunting can be a key aspect to both!
At Wild Goose Chase Taxidermy Studio, I specialize in the creation of high quality and detailed waterfowl and gamebird taxidermy.
I provide taxidermy services by appointment along the Front Range of Colorado, but I welcome anyone who is willing to travel to my Front Range location for the drop off and pickup of their birds, or who want to ship their birds to me. As an artist, I take pride in my work and strive to preserve your mount in the most lifelike way possible.

I look forward to commemorating your hunt and appreciate the business each customer brings.
Thank you, Saige
Important Reminder: when a hunter drops off their bird for taxidermy, they MUST provide their hunting license number for that bird's identification tag.
Examples of who I can provide bird taxidermy services for:
- Hunters
- Hobby farmers (no pets, just barnyard poultry, ornamental quail and partridges, Guinea fowl, peacocks, and such)
- Museums/nature Centers/scientific collections
- Universities/colleges/scientists
- Wild bird rescues/educational facilities/zoos
Note: Although I typically only taxidermy waterfowl and gamebirds, non-gamebird species such as songbirds and birds of prey can be mounted as well, provided the collector has a valid federal permit listed under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Typically, only places such as museums, zoos, wildlife rescues, and universities are granted these permits, and they are not available to the general public. Always feel free to contact me with any questions, but please leave a message if I do not pick up the phone. If you do not leave a message, I may not be able to call you back. Thanks!
