We'll build a scorecard you can save or print — every measurement, the age you called, and your photos on one page.
Who he is and where he came from. Only the property and ZIP matter for your records — the rest is for you.
Soil and browse change how fast teeth wear and how antlers grow. A ZIP lets us compare your deer against others on similar ground. Nothing we publish or share identifies you, your property, or your deer — it is always aggregated with everyone else's.
Add up to 4 — him on the tailgate, a rack shot, whatever you want on the record.
Optional. Pictures of this same buck from before you took him. Useful for your own records year over year, and they stay on your device with everything else.
Count the points on his main frame, both sides together, beam tips included. This sets how many tine rows you fill in. Kickers and stickers don't count here — they go in abnormal points below.
Measurement D — the greatest distance between the inside surfaces of the main beams, taken at a right angle to the skull. That is the only spread that counts toward the score. Tap the chart to open it full size.
Boone and Crockett record all three. Only D enters the score — B and C describe the shape of the rack for the record.
Straight line between the two main beam tips. Recorded, not scored.
Widest point anywhere across the rack, at a right angle to the skull. Often falls across tine tips. Recorded, not scored.
Greatest distance between the inside surfaces of the beams, at a right angle to the skull. This is the one that scores.
Main beam runs from the lowest outside edge of the burr along the outer curve to the tip. Each tine is measured along the centre of its outer curve. Circumferences are the smallest spot in each gap — and if a deer has no G4, take H4 halfway between G3 and the beam tip. Tap the chart to open it full size.
Leave a side blank if he doesn't carry that tine — an odd frame means one side has one more than the other.
Kickers, stickers, drop tines, anything off the bottom or side of the beam. Add a row for each one. These come off a typical score and add to a non-typical one.
Either way works. You are reading the six cheek teeth along one side of the lower jaw, front to back. Tooth three tells you the most, and after that it comes down to how much dark dentine shows against white enamel on the first molar.
In the mouth — quicker, no tools
Prop the mouth open, run a knife back along the cheek on one side to open it up, and put a light on the lower teeth. Wipe them clean. You want to see the chewing surface from the side, not from above. Good enough for most calls and it leaves the cape alone if he is going on the wall.
Jaw removed — clearer read
Cut the cheek back, work a jawbone extractor around the bone behind the last tooth, and pull toward the chin. Boil or scrub the jaw clean. You get a straight side-on view of every tooth, which makes the dentine-to-enamel call much easier on an older deer. Worth doing if you are keeping records year over year.
Optional, and it saves with this buck. Shoot the chewing surface from the side with the light across it, close enough to see where the enamel edge stops and the darker dentine starts. A photo lets you check your call later, or have someone else look at it.
We built this because we got tired of guessing at a tailgate. No account, no cost, nothing to install — bookmark it and it's yours. If it earns a spot in your truck, take a look at the blinds, feeders and cameras we stock.
Scores follow the standard typical whitetail measurements and are calculated here as an original implementation — this is not an official Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young form, and it doesn't replace one. Age estimates from tooth wear are estimates; wear varies with soil, browse and region, and cementum annuli testing is more precise. Records are stored in this browser only, on this device.
