## What is BuckScore?

The World's First Patented Digital Antler Scoring Application

Ever wondered how to score deer? Curious what the easiest way to score a deer is? BuckScore® is your answer! Holding two U.S. issued patents, BuckScore® is the only science-proven program that allows you to score pictures of bucks in minutes. The app accurately estimates antler size including spread, beam length, tine length, and circumference all to calculate a Net and Gross score within 3% of the actual score. With BuckScore®, you have one app that organizes, documents, and scores all of your big bucks. Take a trail cam photo and get new insights with the ability to estimate the score of a buck on the hoof. Calculate size on harvest photos from years past. BuckScore® is easier and saves you time over the normal tape and note pad mess. Join BuckScore® Today!

* The BuckScore® program’s accuracy is contingent upon the quality of your photo, the accuracy of the reference feature, accurate buck information (age of buck and location by state), and the manual insertion of measurement points input by the individual. These elements are also used to determine if the photo is “scoreable”.  The BuckScore® program’s final gross and net score accuracy comes from your ability to measure the reference feature perfectly.  On mobile, as convenient as it may seem, your finger/stylus can add extra error to scoring if not measured properly.  The BuckScore® program is not an “automatic” program as it does requires manual drawing of start and stop points on each measurement to achieve an accurate result. If you are not satisfied with the ability of the BuckScore® program, please contact us for additional resources and help from a BuckScore® specialist.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2025-12-16, version 2.6*

This app is not what they say it is. When I would upload pictures the round dial would just spin and spin.  I never once received a score on several deer I uploaded.  I asked for a refund within the same day I purchased and they said they will not give me a refund. So save your money and time and stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t Work
