Upland Game Bird Taxidermy

World-Class Upland Game Bird Mounts, Crafted with Over 50 Years of Experience

For more than five decades, Stehling’s Taxidermy has specialized in upland game bird taxidermy—creating lifelike, museum-quality mounts that capture the beauty and character of each species. From pheasants, grouse, and partridge to rare and exotic game birds from around the world, our team has the experience and skill to handle even the most challenging specimens.

We’ve proudly worked with hunters, collectors, museums, and nature centers across the country and abroad—producing custom bird mounts and full-scale dioramas that bring nature to life.

The Stehling’s Difference

Our reputation is built on attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and a deep respect for wildlife. Every mount is treated as a one-of-a-kind piece, from preparation to final finishing.

Comprehensive Inspection: Each bird is carefully evaluated upon arrival, and we’ll discuss any special concerns or restoration needs before beginning.
Meticulous Preparation: Every specimen is properly skinned, fleshed, and washed to ensure all fat and grease are removed for lasting preservation.
Precision Caulking: Our birds are fully caulked to maintain structure, durability, and natural musculature.
Expert Feather Grooming: Feathers are painstakingly preened and aligned for perfect symmetry and realism.
Lifelike Detailing: Legs and feet are injected for accurate anatomy, and artificial heads and bills are used where needed for crisp, long-lasting definition.
Professional Airbrush Painting: Each mount is finished with detailed airbrushing to match the natural coloration of your bird—down to the subtle tones of its bill and feet.

From start to finish, we strive to create a lifelike, lasting tribute that honors your bird and your hunting experience.
