Inside One of the Largest Taxidermy Shops in the World

When people search for “the largest taxidermy shop in the world”, the answer isn’t simple. Unlike other industries, there’s no official registry or ranking system for taxidermy studios. Still, some shops stand out because of their size, history, and the volume of work they produce.

At Stehling’s Taxidermy, we’re proud to be recognized as one of the largest full-service taxidermy studios in the world — a family-owned shop that has been preserving wildlife memories for generations.

A Legacy of Growth and Excellence

For decades, Stehling’s Taxidermy has combined old-world craftsmanship with modern techniques to deliver world-class mounts. What started as a family passion has grown into a massive operation with two locations in Wisconsin — and we’re continuing to expand.

Our growth reflects the trust hunters place in us. With more space, more staff, and more capabilities than ever before, we’re positioned to handle projects of every size while maintaining the personal care and quality that built our reputation.

What Makes Stehling’s One of the Largest?

Two Locations & Growing – With multiple facilities, we’re able to take on more work, serve more hunters, and continue expanding our capabilities.
Facility Size – Our workshops are built to handle everything from small fish and birds to life-size elk, moose, bears, and exotic species.
High Volume of Work – Few studios can match the number of mounts that leave our shops each year.
Global Reach – We regularly ship mounts to hunters and collectors around the world, making us an international name in taxidermy.
Full-Service Capabilities – From tanning to custom displays, our team provides end-to-end service under one roof.

Why “The Largest” Is Hard to Define

Unlike companies tracked by industry associations, taxidermy studios don’t have an official measurement system for size or production. Is “the largest” defined by square footage, number of employees, or total mounts produced each year?

While there may not be a way to crown a single “largest” shop, Stehling’s Taxidermy clearly stands among the few contenders for that title — with two locations, decades of growth, and an unmatched reputation.

A Global Destination for Hunters

Hunters often travel long distances to bring their trophies to us, and we’re honored to preserve those memories. Whether it’s a Midwest whitetail, a western elk, or an African safari collection, our shops are equipped to handle it all.

Our work has been displayed in homes, lodges, museums, and businesses around the world — making Stehling’s a destination for hunters who want the highest quality taxidermy at scale.
