About
Trophy Scan is the premier deer scoring app for modern hunters, combining cutting-edge 3D scanning technology with a purpose-built social network for the hunting community. Using an iPhone Pro or Pro Max, hunters can create detailed, high-resolution 3D models of their whitetail, mule deer, or elk trophies directly in the field or at camp — no tape measures, spreadsheets, or guesswork required. The app leverages patented scoring software to deliver fast, accurate, and consistent antler scores in minutes. All scans are stored securely in unlimited cloud storage, ensuring every trophy is preserved as a lifetime memory. Scans automatically generate shareable GIFs, making it easy to post highlights across social media or Trophy Scan's own Public Trophy Room. Trophy Scan doubles as the first social media platform designed exclusively for hunters. Users can follow other hunters, discover trophy walls, and connect with a community that celebrates the sport. The platform is trusted by hunters, outfitters, guides, and taxidermists alike. The base app — including 3D scanning, field scoring, cloud storage, and social features — is completely free. For those who need official, certified antler scores (e.g., for record books or commerce), a paid certified scoring add-on is available. Whether you're a seasoned hunter, a guide managing multiple clients, or a taxidermist needing to document scores for pricing, Trophy Scan brings trophy management into the modern age.
