Norling Taxidermy Studio

They handle big game, small game mammals, birds, and both skin-mount and reproduction fish, along with specialty skull and antler work.

You can choose from shoulder, pedestal, and life-size mounts, bird mounts, European and antler mounts, rugs, and custom habitat bases that incorporate rock work, water, ice, and snow scenes.

Owner Jeff provides detailed field-care guidance, personally guarantees every mount, and runs what is described as the Rhinelander area's only full-time, state and federal licensed, full-service taxidermy studio and member of the Wisconsin Taxidermists Association.

Reviews consistently describe his mounts as lifelike, artistic, and blue-ribbon quality, with careful attention to realism, pose, and fine details.

Norling Taxidermy Studio notes that they are neither the cheapest nor the most expensive and encourages you to call anytime for a custom price quote so you know what to expect.

Customers report that the final bill matches the estimate and feel the work is worth every penny, even if the process takes a while and requires some waiting.

The studio offers custom, one-of-a-kind rock work, bases, and habitat displays, extensive repair and restoration work, rugs, and online field-care guides to help you prepare trophies correctly.
