Buck down! You've taken the shot and now that you're getting a better look at your harvested game, you're looking at an impressive set of antlers. Although many hunters don't specifically hunt for "trophies," it's hard to resist finding out how that big-boy buck scores. Up until pretty recently, that's meant getting out your measuring tape and hoping you're doing it correctly. These days, however, Trophy Scan is making things much easier. It uses state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology that—as of right now— is available on both your iPad and iPhone. Here's how it works.
By using Trophy Scan’s patented “Volumetrics” algorithms and cutting-edge 3D scanning software, you can accurately score whitetails, mule deer, and elk using any major scoring methods you wish—including Total Volume—all in under 10 minutes. Once those 10 minutes are up, you can share your 3D Scan and official score with anyone you like (especially that one guy who won't stop talking about the 8-point he got in 2010). Each scan isn’t just a score—it’s a curated memory of the hunt—as well as a form of insurance against the loss of the physical trophy.
Designed for "regular folks," Trophy Scan Mobile bridges the gap between innovation and hunting heritage. Trophy Scan Mobile is currently available exclusively for Apple iPhone Pro models or greater via the iOS App Store. Subscriptions cost $9.99 monthly to $99.99 annually; www.trophyscan.com.
