Home/Tools/Antler score

Score your whitetail rack.

Work out a gross and net typical score for a whitetail buck, based on the Boone and Crockett method. Measure each part in inches with a flexible steel tape and a cable for the beams, enter it below, and the sheet does the maths, including the left-to-right deductions that make a net score. It is a field estimate for fun and comparison, not an official measurement.

Widest gap between the inner edges of the main beams. Credited up to the length of the longer beam.

โš ๏ธ This follows the Boone and Crockett typical whitetail method but is a do-it-yourself estimate, not an official score. Real B&C entries require a 60-day drying period, an official measurer, and detailed rules on what counts as a point and how the spread is credited. Home tapes, green antlers and judgment calls on borderline points all shift the number. Treat it as a fun, honest ballpark for comparing your own bucks, and see the official Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young guidelines if you think you have a record-book animal.

Field-judging a live buck instead? Pair this with the cartridge guide and shot placement before the season.
