Moose gauge app

[PA Hunter]

Does anyone use this app to judge antler width? Just curious if you need cell coverage to use it in the field or does it just work off a pic front on without cell coverage?

I can answer my own question now I sent them an email and you don’t need cell service just a front pic of the head.

Still only available on Android though, right?

I don’t know that’s what I have. You can email them I have played with it some I am within 2 inches on my European mount so it seems accurate anyway.

Leopold has a "trophy scale" measurement functionality on some of their rangefinders. I have an archery range finder with the functionality, https://www.leupold.com/rx-fulldraw-3-rangefinder. Its very light weight RF and does allow you to define a measurement scale, max 60", that's overlaid in the view. That said, inside 100 yds, the scale may be adjusted. So if I input 50" as the scale, at 100 yds, I see vertical tick marks indicating 50" width. If I'm closer in, the scale may only indicate 20" or 30", something less than the 50" set up. Its still useful for estimation, but of course, I'm not using this as my only decision criteria to shoot/not shoot.

What is this app called? Passed on this guy this last weekend cause I thought he was to close to the 50 inch minimum.

Can't speak to the app, while it does sound useful and interesting, I'd feel obligated to do some thorough testing before I made a decision based on what it tells me as it could have legal consequences should it be wrong. I do know that if your scope has accurate mil or moa hash marks on the reticle and you have an accurate distance to the animal, a little math can tell you a really good estimate of width. Slightly different but I used to use and teach a different formulas in the Army for calculating distances based on known target sizes and they worked quite well.

Yeah I have a couple buddies that do that, but I mainly bowhunt so I don't have a scope with me

Hard to tell with that photo, but as nice as his palms are I think you did good passing on him. He may have been close but it’s not worth it if he wasn’t. His palms look awfully cupped to me, would like to see the angles on his bases.

You need a dead on pic of the head, straight and close enough to see the tine tips, or its impossible to call unless REALLY big.

Good pass. I put that bull at 46-48".
