Antlers by Klaus began nearly 35 years ago in northwestern Wisconsin, founded by artist and whitetail enthusiast Klaus Lebrecht. While training under master taxidermist Joe Meder in Iowa, Klaus discovered antler replicas—and instantly found his calling. After years of refining his craft, the lifelike realism of his reproductions drew in major clients like Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, the NRA, and the National Turkey Federation. Today, Klaus, his wife Nola, and their talented team handcraft every piece using only the highest-grade materials. Their work is featured in hundreds of books, magazines, catalogs, and digital publications—and is recognized as the world’s largest, finest, and most respected antler reproduction collection.

This time, we are taking you out of the shop and into the field.

Klaus recently took Scarlett hunting, and on just her second day out, she connected on a handsome buck of her own.

Congratulations, Scarlett!

It is a question whitetail hunters have debated for years, and this time Klaus has the original Johnny King antlers right in front of him.

In this video, Klaus gives his perspective on the scoring controversy and puts the King rack beside one of our James Jordan Buck reproductions for a side-by-side look at two legendary Wisconsin whitetails.

Seeing these antlers together gives you a completely different perspective than simply reading measurements on a score sheet.

Klaus also shares a great story about the James Jordan Buck, another famous rack with one of the more unusual histories in whitetail hunting.

Watch the full video, take a close look for yourself, and tell us in the comments: what is your take on the Johnny King Buck controversy?

Both of these legendary racks are also available from Antlers by Klaus as full-size reproductions and detailed miniatures.

Every once in a while, Klaus reaches into the vault and pulls out something you simply do not see every day.

This time, it is an antler from a Stag Moose, an extraordinary animal that roamed North America during the last Ice Age.

Despite the name, the Stag Moose was an extinct member of the deer family with a look all its own. It stood slightly larger than a modern moose, with long legs, a more elk-like head, and distinct antlers. The species disappeared roughly 11,500 years ago, leaving behind only the rare remains that have survived thousands of years.

In this edition of Antlers from the Vault, Klaus shares the story behind this particular antler, including how the original was discovered by a hiker near a stream, and gives us a closer look at one of the more unusual pieces to pass through the Antlers by Klaus shop.

Stag Moose remains like this have frequently been recovered from ancient wetland, lake, and river deposits, environments these animals likely favored during their era.

Take a few minutes with Klaus and get an up-close look at a remarkable species that vanished thousands of years ago.

there is a tremendous amount of skill behind every Antlers by Klaus reproduction, and we feel incredibly fortunate to keep finding talented young artisans right here in our area who want to learn the craft and help carry it forward.

Meet Megan, one of the newest members of the Antlers by Klaus team.

Megan came to us with an existing artistic skill set that translated naturally into the detailed hand painting required to bring our replica antlers and horns to life. Matching natural color, depth, texture, and character takes patience, a good eye, and a steady hand, and Megan has quickly found her place in that process.

Her talents do not stop at painting. With experience in leatherworking and other hands-on crafts, she has already been able to lend her skills to other areas of the shop as well.

For us, this is about more than adding another talented person to the team. Seeing young craftspeople take an interest in traditional hands-on work gives us a great deal of confidence in the future of this craft. The tools and processes may continue to evolve, but skilled hands, attention to detail, and pride in the finished piece will always matter.

We are proud to have Megan on board and excited to see where her talents take her.

Some antlers are impressive because of their size. Others become unforgettable because of the animal and the story behind them.

This time, we are reaching into the Antlers by Klaus vault to take a closer look at Hook, a famous bull moose that became a familiar sight around Anchorage, Alaska.

For several seasons, Hook roamed the Anchorage area carrying massive, unmistakable racks with unique characteristics that helped earn him his nickname. Wildlife photographer and antler enthusiast Ryan Miller followed Hook closely, capturing hundreds of photographs and documenting this remarkable bull through the seasons. His patience eventually paid off when he was able to recover Hook's matching shed antlers.

One of Ryan's photographs even captured Hook resting in the heavy Anchorage snow shortly before he shed his first antler, preserving a remarkable moment in the story of this well-known Alaska bull.

Today, we are proud to have Hook represented in the Antlers by Klaus collection.

Our reproduction gives collectors the opportunity to bring home a piece inspired by one of Anchorage's most recognizable bull moose, recreated with the attention to shape, character, detail, and hand finishing that defines Antlers by Klaus. Each reproduction is custom crafted, hand cast, meticulously finished, and painted in our Wisconsin studio.

Take a closer look at World Record Hook Bull Moose on our website and place your order to add this extraordinary set to your own collection.

If it looks like our 3D printing room has changed since the last time we showed it to you, that is because it has.

A lot.

The growth of our 3D printing capabilities at Waters by Klaus and Antlers by Klaus has been one of the most exciting developments happening behind the scenes. Since our last look inside this part of the operation, we have added considerably more printers to help us keep pace with the growing demand for our products.

For Waters by Klaus, 3D printing has opened the door to an entirely new level of production capability for detailed fish reproductions and other aquatic replicas. It allows us to combine modern digital technology with the same commitment to accuracy, realism, and craftsmanship that has always driven our work.

That same technology has also created exciting opportunities for Antlers by Klaus. By accurately scaling some of the world's finest and most recognizable antlers, we can offer miniature and scaled antler reproductions quickly and easily. For collectors who may not have the room for a full-size reproduction, these smaller pieces make it possible to build a collection of legendary antlers without requiring a trophy room to display them.

And what you see here is only the beginning.

With a new building on the horizon, our current plan is to expand the number of 3D printers we operate by roughly four times our present capacity. That added capability will help us increase production, continue developing new products, and better keep up with the surging demand we are seeing across both brands.

It has been incredible watching this area grow, but even more exciting to think about what comes next.

NEW ARRIVAL! Elsenheimer Maine 8 Point Record

We are excited to add another great 8 point to the Antlers by Klaus collection!

Tim Elsenheimer had been watching this Maine buck for years, and it kept his attention for one big reason, it always produced a very clean 8 point rack. As the years went by, that crown of 8 just kept getting bigger!

Tim had his chances along the way. In 2020, a late opportunity with his muzzleloader ended in a miss. In 2022, he finally had the buck within bow range, but made the decision not to force a bad shot.

Then came the 2023 season.

Tim caught up with the buck again while it was feeding underneath an apple tree. He grunted, and the buck responded by coming closer. Tim took aim with his crossbow and missed!

Fortunately, the story wasn't over.

The buck stopped again. Tim reloaded, settled in for another shot, and this time connected at 42 yards. After years of faithfully following this deer, it had finally all come together!

And what a buck to finally put his hands on.

The Elsenheimer buck carries an incredible clean 8 point frame and scores 177 1/8" net, making it the Maine state record 8 point.

For those of you who appreciate the really big, clean 8 pointers, this is a rack you're going to want to take a closer look at.

The Elsenheimer Maine 8 Pt Record reproduction is now available from Antlers by Klaus.

How big are Irish Elk Antlers?

Even this scaled reproduction gives you an idea of just how impressive these animals were. The original Irish Elk, also known as the Giant Deer, was one of the largest deer species ever to live, with antlers that could exceed 12 feet in spread.

This Irish Elk replica is made at scale, making it much easier to display while still capturing the character and presence of this remarkable extinct species. We do offer full-size reproductions as well, but scaled pieces are often the better fit for collectors, decorators, and anyone who wants something truly different without needing an entire wall.

For the antler enthusiast, this is more than an unusual piece. It is a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a keystone for a collection built around remarkable specimens.
