Stehling's Taxidermy creates museum-grade whitetail deer mounts in Wisconsin, with studios in Jefferson and New Franken (Green Bay area). We offer shoulder, pedestal, pack, and full-body lifesize mounts. Shoulder mounts start around $1,100, and you can drop your buck at either location or ship it to us.
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.
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.
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.
Shoulder, pedestal, pack, half, lifesize, or European — every pose is built to your room, your reference photos, and the personality of your buck.
Drop off in Jefferson or Green Bay. Serving hunters across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula.
Whether you want a timeless shoulder mount or a full lifesize centerpiece, we have the forms, poses, and experience to do your buck justice.
The timeless classic. Upright, semi-sneak, or full-sneak — sculpted to your buck's antler spread, face, and hide.
Floor or wall pedestals for 360° display, plus rugged pack mounts that retell the pack-out. See our pack mounts →
Full-body lifesize on custom habitat, or a space-saving half-lifesize with the same anatomy and detail.
Clean, degreased, whitened European skull mounts — classic or camo-dipped, with optional plaque mounting. See our whitetail skull mounts →

Start Your Project Call JeffersonAt Stehling's Taxidermy, whitetail shoulder mounts start around $1,100. Final pricing depends on the pose and mount type you choose, including pedestal, pack, lifesize, and European skull mounts. Contact us for a free, itemized quote.
We offer shoulder mounts, pedestal and pack mounts, full-body lifesize and half-lifesize mounts, and clean European skull mounts. Every mount is posed to order rather than from a catalog.
We have two Wisconsin studios: our flagship at 913 North Parkway Street in Jefferson, and a second location in New Franken, in the Green Bay area. Hunters from across Wisconsin bring us their whitetail trophies.
Turnaround depends on the season, mount type, and current studio workload. See our pricing page for current delivery times, and we'll confirm an estimated timeline when you drop off your deer.
We build whitetail mounts in every popular pose — upright, semi-sneak, and full-sneak shoulder mounts, plus floor and wall pedestal mounts for a 360° display, pack mounts, half-lifesize, full-body lifesize, and clean European skull mounts. A pedestal upgrade can be added to any shoulder mount, and every pose is sculpted to your buck's antler spread, cape, and the room where it'll hang. Bring us your reference photos and we'll help you choose the pose that fits your space.
A wall pedestal mounts to the wall and projects the deer outward for a dramatic 360°-style look without taking up floor space, and it can be finished with a wall habitat — rockwork, branches, or a natural scene behind the mount. A floor pedestal is a freestanding base you can view from all sides, and we build it on a variety of bases including barn board, hardwood, and natural habitat scenes. You're also welcome to bring in your own base if you have a specific piece in mind, and we'll build the mount to fit it.
We can dress a pedestal mount with a range of wraps and backdrops to match your space and style — hide wraps, leather, rockwork, natural habitat, driftwood, and more. These details frame the mount and tie it to the setting of your hunt. Bring us reference photos or ideas and we'll recommend a wrap and base combination that fits your room and budget.
Stehling’s Taxidermy completes every whitetail deer mount in-house at one of our two Wisconsin studios. Drop off at our Jefferson studio in south-central Wisconsin, or our New Franken (Green Bay area) studio in the northeast. We proudly serve hunters across the state — see all the areas we serve.
