Welcome to Buckscore™ where SIZE DOES MATTER! Antler size is estimated visually by wildlife professionals and deer hunters. While books, magazines, and record keeping organizations offer techniques to judge antler size in the field, nothing can replace experience.

BuckScore™ was developed by researchers at Mississippi State University’s Deer Ecology and Management Lab. They recognized the management and research value of a tool that could accurately estimate antler size from a photograph and began a quest to create the perfect system. BuckScore™ is the result of years of rigorous development and testing using white-tailed deer data from across North America.
