If you haven’t checked out Trophy Score yet and you own an iPhone, do yourself a favor and grab a copy. For just $2.99 it’ll be the best investment for your hunting adventures since the Ultra Day pack.

After an article appeared in the Wilmington Business Journal, local news WECT called about featuring it on their evening news. I was already on the road to the Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, South Carolina so if they could wait until the following week, I’ll let them have the scoop on Trophy Score Fishing. Being a beach town with a big fishing industry, it was a no-brainer.

As for the results, some quotes got chopped but all in all, it turned out well. “My best is pretty darn good” was preceded but “I’ll never get a world record but….”, to put it into context. A transcript of the interview can be read here.

Trophy Score was developed by the owner of this blog. Click here to learn more! Look for Trophy Score and Anchorpoint at the Dixie Deer Classic, March 5-7, in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Grab your coat and head to the South Carolina Lowcountry for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition! You and over 40,000 others can enjoy one of the most anticipated shows of the year, featuring 500+ artists and exhibitors.

I’ll be there as an exhibitor, showing off Anchorpoint and Trophy Score in the Sporting Village.  No, these aren’t dog names, even though the DockDocks competition and retriever demonstrations will be going on there as well.  Trophy Score is the only big game scoring app for the iPhone approved by Boone and Crockett and SCI, while Anchorpoint hosts a full-featured hunt club manager along with the database of trophies generated by Trophy Score.  Stop by and say hello inside the tent located at Brittlebank Park along the Ashley River.

The Expo is open to the public 9 am – 6pm Friday & Saturday and 9am – 5pm Sunday.  The event calendar is chockful of great stuff, from a Birds of Prey Flight Demo, presentations by Jack Hanna, Cast Net and Fly Fishing demonstrations……whew, there really is something for everyone.

Tickets are $20 Friday & Saturday and $10 on Sunday with kids under 10 free all weekend.

Dayne Shuda of Hunting Business Marketing recently reviewed Trophy Score, an iPhone application for scoring big game developed by Doubletough Ventures, the company behind DoubletoughOutdoors.com.

Trophy Score was extremely simple to use. There are easy help directions for each section of the scoring procedure. It was easy to enter in my measurements. The 1/8 button made it even simpler and faster.

We all know about the Booner bucks, SCI monsters and Pope and Young heroes – you see them in the outdoor magazines every month.  Trophy Score is for the rest of us, who take a trophy animal that may not qualify for the world record books but are the biggest we’ll ever shoot ourselves.  Dayne nails this aspect of the app and the companion website, Anchorpoint.

I went to the living room by my trophy whitetail buck (it’s a trophy in my eyes) and began working with Trophy Score to score my buck.

It’s a trophy in my eyes.

Carrying around a photo of your big game animal on your phone is nice, but when synced to Anchorpoint is where the beauty of the system is revealed; now you can compare your trophy to others, research areas to hunt for trophy potential, and learn what to look for when sizing up a buck in the field.

Trophy Score does more than deer. Score elk, turkey, bear, caribou, kudu and a lot more, plus many subspecies.

We’re back!  Took a brief hiatus to do some hunting, eat some turkey, and launch two brand new offerings that will help you make the most of your outdoor experience:

Introducing Anchorpoint

If you’ve ever been a part of a hunting club, thought about starting one, or are a retailer interested in creating an online community to help generate sales, Anchorpoint is your answer.  Offering a full suite of features for clubs plus a global marketplace and forums, it has everything you need to bring your members, friends and customers together even when the season is long over.

Coming Soon:  Trophy Score

We’ve all watched the shows and read the magazines touting the latest Boone and Crockett whitetail record, Pope and Young trophy bear, and Safari Club International-qualifying kudu, but not many folks know how to actually score their game.  Plus, if your animal doesn’t meet the minimum qualifications, it won’t get any recognition outside your own county.  And that’s ok.

Not everyone will get a world record, but your personal best is still a trophy.  Trophy Score for the iPhone will walk you through the scoring process, according to the method of your choice, and sync it to Anchorpoint, where it can be admired and compared by hunters around the country (and the world).  Trophy Score has been submitted to the iTunes App Store and we’ll let you know when you an get it.

So yes, we’ve been busy but we are back to featuring the latest Doubletough stories so stay tuned!  And look for more news about Anchorpoint and Trophy Score!  Follow @trophyscore on Twitter and the Anchorpoint blog for all the latest happenings.

Doubletough Outdoors, Anchorpoint and Trophy Score are products of Doubletough Ventures, Inc. Let’s go hunting!
