Our Whitetail Deer Mount Options

At Stehling’s Taxidermy, we take pride in offering a full range of whitetail deer mounts designed to fit every hunter’s vision, space, and style. Each piece is crafted by skilled taxidermists with decades of experience, ensuring a lifelike, durable, and museum-quality finish. Whether you’re looking for a traditional wall mount or a full-body display, our goal is to capture the spirit of your hunt and the individuality of your deer.

Shoulder Mounts

 

The shoulder mount is the timeless classic and remains the most popular choice for whitetail deer. At Stehling’s, our shoulder mounts are sculpted to highlight the natural anatomy and expression of your buck—capturing lifelike detail in every muscle, angle, and feature.

We offer a variety of forms and poses, including upright, semi-sneak, and full-sneak positions, allowing you to choose how your trophy appears in your display space. Each mount is tailored to your deer’s unique characteristics—antler spread, face shape, and hide coloration—ensuring a one-of-a-kind result.

For hunters who value tradition and artistry, a whitetail deer shoulder mount delivers both. It’s perfect for trophy rooms, offices, cabins, or living spaces where you want a bold, eye-level display that tells the story of your hunt. With proper care, your Stehling’s shoulder mount will look just as sharp decades from now as it does today.

Wall and Floor Pedestal Mounts

 

For hunters looking for a more dramatic, premium presentation, our pedestal mounts transform your whitetail deer into a true work of art. These displays offer a 360-degree viewing experience, allowing your trophy to be appreciated from every angle. Whether freestanding or wall-mounted, pedestal mounts provide an elegant and striking way to showcase your deer.

At Stehling’s Taxidermy, we offer two main styles:

  • Floor Pedestal Mounts – These freestanding designs are perfect for trophy rooms, lodges, or open spaces. Each floor pedestal can be customized with detailed habitat scenes, such as woodland bases, snowy terrain, grasslands, or rocky outcrops that reflect the environment where your deer was harvested. Many hunters choose a hardwood pedestal base that complements their home or cabin dĂ©cor, creating a truly museum-quality centerpiece.

  • Wall Pedestal Mounts – Ideal when space is limited but you still want a show-stopping display. Wall pedestals feature the same lifelike form and depth as a floor pedestal but are designed to hang securely on a wall. This style gives your deer a strong, three-dimensional presence without taking up floor space—perfect for home offices, dens, or smaller trophy walls.

Every pedestal mount we create is built with attention to detail, artistry, and structural durability. From the positioning of the head and neck to the eyes and expression, each element is sculpted to capture your deer’s natural beauty. With over 50 years of taxidermy experience, Stehling’s ensures your pedestal mount remains as breathtaking decades from now as it was the day you brought it in.

Pack Mounts

 

If you love the rugged, adventurous side of hunting, a pack mount perfectly captures that spirit. This unique style recreates the moment when your whitetail is packed out from the field—a visual story that honors the challenge, terrain, and hard work behind every successful hunt.

Our whitetail pack mounts are built using realistic packs, harnesses, and straps, arranged with authentic lifelike positioning to create a truly dynamic piece. Each one reflects the grit and tradition of the outdoorsman’s lifestyle. They’re ideal for cabins, lodges, or hunting camps, where their rustic aesthetic fits naturally into the décor.

Stehling’s Taxidermy can customize every pack mount with your preferred pack type, base, and positioning—resulting in a display that’s as personal as the hunt itself. Durable, detailed, and memorable, a pack mount stands as a tribute to the journey, not just the harvest.

Half-Lifesize Mounts

 

A half-lifesize mount offers the perfect balance between size, realism, and practicality. Including the head, neck, shoulders, and front half of the body, this style gives your trophy an impressive full-body look while fitting comfortably into most display spaces.

Half-lifesize mounts are ideal for walls or raised platforms where a lifesize mount might be too large. We customize each one to fit your space, adding habitat bases, wall backdrops, or angled poses that create natural flow and movement.

At Stehling’s Taxidermy, our half-lifesize mounts feature the same level of anatomical accuracy and lifelike detailing as our full mounts. Each piece is sculpted to highlight your deer’s strength, grace, and individuality—making it a powerful yet practical option for serious hunters and collectors alike.

Lifesize Mounts

For hunters who want to showcase their trophy in all its glory, our lifesize whitetail deer mounts deliver unmatched realism and presence. These full-body mounts capture the animal’s natural stance, movement, and spirit—perfect for those seeking a centerpiece that commands attention.

Each lifesize mount begins with a precision form that’s sculpted for anatomical accuracy and balance. Our taxidermists carefully recreate the natural look of the hide, musculature, and expression, making your deer appear as if it just stepped out of the wild.

We can pose your deer standing alert, walking, or in a running stance, and customize the habitat base—whether forest, grassland, snow, or mountain terrain—to reflect the environment of your hunt. Built for long-term display, every lifesize mount is reinforced for stability and finished with professional-grade materials to ensure decades of enjoyment.

Whether displayed in a trophy room, museum, or lodge, a lifesize mount from Stehling’s is the ultimate showcase of your achievement.
