Whitetail Taxidermy · Wisconsin

Museum-grade whitetail deer taxidermy for every trophy buck.

From classic shoulder mounts to dramatic lifesize displays, we preserve the character and story behind every Wisconsin whitetail. Fifty years of craft, two studios, one standard.

Why Stehling's

A whitetail mount is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. We treat it that way.

The whitetail is the mount most hunters judge a studio by — the cape, the eyes, the expression. Every mount we build honors the hunt with correct reference, hand-sculpted anatomy, and materials chosen to last generations.

01

Fifty Years on Whitetails

Thousands of whitetails over five decades. The muscle memory, the cape-handling, and the antler-alignment instincts that only come from mounting deer year after year.

02

Pose-Driven, Not Catalog

Shoulder, pedestal, pack, half, lifesize, or European — every pose is built to your room, your reference photos, and the personality of your buck.

03

Two Wisconsin Studios

Drop off in Jefferson or Green Bay. Serving hunters across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula.

Every Pose, Every Trophy

Every pose. One standard of craft.

Whether you want a timeless shoulder mount or a full lifesize centerpiece, we have the forms, poses, and experience to do your buck justice.

Shoulder Mount

The timeless classic. Upright, semi-sneak, or full-sneak — sculpted to your buck's antler spread, face, and hide.

Pedestal & Pack

Floor or wall pedestals for 360° display, plus rugged pack mounts that retell the pack-out.

Lifesize & Half

Full-body lifesize on custom habitat, or a space-saving half-lifesize with the same anatomy and detail.

European & Skull

Clean, degreased, whitened European skull mounts — classic or camo-dipped, with optional plaque mounting.

Field Care & Preparation

Get your buck to us in top condition.

Cape damage is the #1 reason a shoulder mount disappoints. Protect the hide from the moment you tag out. Follow these essentials — then read the full guides.

The Four Essentials

  1. Cape it high. Never cut the throat or brisket. Cape well behind the shoulders so we have enough hide for a shoulder mount.
  2. Keep it cool & dry. Get it out of the sun and field-dress promptly. Heat and moisture slip hair fast.
  3. Photograph the buck. Multiple angles of the head and face help us match expression and antler alignment.
  4. Freeze or drop off fast. Bag the caped hide and head and freeze it, or drop off same-day. Call us and we'll guide you.
