Here at Anchorpoint we’re always on the lookout for ways to help others in the hunting industry and earlier this month, Ameristep sought names for their new blog.  Ameristep is well-known in the outdoor space, offering several lines of blinds, tree stands, shelters, furniture and related gear for atv’s and hunting accessories.

Boiling all this down to one name was tough so I ultimately submitted these names via Twitter:

• StepSpeak
• Undercover
• Under Cover
• Out of the Blind
• Beyond the Blind
• Out in the Open

Earlier this week Ameristep chose “Beyond the Blind” as the name for their upcoming blog and I’m looking forward to my new hat.  Maybe they’ll want to put an ad on Anchorpoint?

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.
