Now in its second generation, brothers Aaron and Austin Stehling continue the tradition in two world-class facilities, making Stehling’s one of the most respected and trusted names in taxidermy.
Jefferson Headquarters – 8,000 sq. ft. Flagship Studio
Our Jefferson headquarters is not only the largest taxidermy studio in Wisconsin, but also among the largest in the world. This 8,000 sq. ft. facility features large observation windows where visitors can watch mounts being created, a spacious showroom displaying mounts from around the globe, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure unmatched quality. Conveniently located just off I-94 and Hwy 26, it also offers easy parking for boats and hunting trailers. This flagship location is where scale, innovation, and tradition come together.
Green Bay Facility – 3,000 sq. ft. Showroom
Our Green Bay studio was established to serve the region’s vibrant hunting and fishing community and our strong customer base in northeastern Wisconsin. With 3,000 sq. ft. of showroom space, it highlights a wide range of mounts and habitat options for clients to explore. This location is growing rapidly, and with Phase Two expansion planned, we will soon add a new stand-alone facility to further increase our size and capabilities in the region.
