The Stehling Legacy
A Craft Passed Down. A Standard Never Compromised.
What began in 1978 as one man’s obsession with getting every detail right is now an 8,000-square-foot production studio in Jefferson and a showroom in New Franken near Green Bay — and a family name that hunters trust with their most important memories. Stehling’s Taxidermy, known online as Taxidermy Planet, is one family and two Wisconsin locations.
Nearly five decades later, the tools are sharper and the techniques are more refined. But the standard is the same: if we wouldn’t be proud to put it in our own home, it doesn’t leave our shop.
Every trophy matters. We take the time to understand your vision and recommend the pose, form and finish that fit it best.

A family craft. Shared with the next generation.
Aaron and Austin Stehling grew up on the bench in the studio their father opened in 1978, and they still do the work themselves. Decades of that experience go into every mount. Aaron and Austin also teach professional taxidermy online and in person, and the family preserves the craft’s history through the Taxidermy Heritage Archives. Read the family story →
