Knowyourgame.

Know which bucks to pass — and which one to take.

Send in a trail-cam photo and a wildlife expert tells you his approximate age and whether he fits your property's rules. Game ID keeps every buck, every review and every harvest in one place — for leases, clubs, landowners, ranches and outfitters.

The problem

Guessing is the hardest part of managing deer.

Photos everywhere

Hundreds of trail-cam pictures across cameras and phones, and no easy way to tell one buck from another or remember what you saw last season.

Second-guessing

Is he three or four? Is he the one we agreed to pass? A quick look through binoculars leaves you unsure — before the shot and after it.

Different rules at camp

When every hunter judges deer a little differently, even a good management plan falls apart.

The decisions that shape your herd for years shouldn't come down to a guess. Take a buck a season too early and there's no second chance to watch him mature.

Where Game ID comes in

Real deer, real photographs, real wildlife expertise

We're hunters too, and we've spent five years building a better way to make these calls. Game ID connects you with wildlife professionals who review each deer you submit — not an algorithm guessing from a single frame.

Evaluations are expert opinions that support your decisions. They don't guarantee a score or outcome, and they never replace your state's hunting laws and regulations. Read our story.

What a review looks atPer submission

  1. AgeAn approximate age based on body and antler characteristics.
  2. AntlersDevelopment, characteristics and a score assessment where it applies.
  3. EligibilityWhether he fits the management rules your property has set.
  4. RecommendationPass, or approved for harvest — so the hunter isn't guessing.

How it works

Three steps to a better call.

No new gear and no guesswork. If you've got a trail camera or a phone, you're ready.

  1. 1

    Snap it

    Pull a buck off your trail camera or take a photo in the field, then submit it in the app. Add a few angles if you have them — more photos mean a better review.

  2. 2

    Get it reviewed

    A wildlife biologist or qualified expert evaluates the deer, which can include:

    • Approximate age
    • Antler characteristics and score, where applicable
    • Whether he fits your property's criteria
    • A harvest recommendation
  3. 3

    Manage & record

    Pass him and keep watching, or take him with confidence. Log the harvest with photos and any required documentation, and he joins your property's history and Trophy Room.

Club forms & agreements

Signed before anyone hunts.

Every club has its own rules and its own paperwork. Game ID keeps each club's forms in the app, from the hold-harmless to guest waivers to anything else you need, and members and guests sign them on their phone before they join the club or set foot on the property.

  1. 1

    Add your forms

    Start with the standard hunter and guest hold-harmless, then add the forms your club already uses. Each club gets its own set.

  2. 2

    Sign on the phone

    Members see what needs their signature before they hunt. Guests register and sign their waiver before they come on the property.

  3. 3

    Kept with your club

    Signed agreements stay with your club, so nobody is chasing paper at camp.

Hunter hold-harmless

Every member, every season.

Set it as required, so it's signed before the season starts.

Guest hold-harmless

A waiver for each visiting hunter.

Guests sign their own, before they hunt your ground.

Guest registration

Register a hunting guest before they arrive.

The club knows who is on the property.

Equipment waivers

ATV, UTV and equipment use.

Make them optional, for the members who need them.

Club rules

Have members acknowledge your rules.

Harvest criteria, camp rules and safety rules, agreed to up front.

Your own forms

Anything else your club needs signed.

Lease terms, property access or a form you already use on paper.

Set up your club's forms Tell us which forms your club uses and we'll help you get them in the app.

The best deer management decision happens before the shot.

Every deer you pass is a management decision.

Every deer you harvest is a management decision.

With Game ID behind you, those decisions get easier to make — and easier to agree on.

  • Pass. Let him grow.A younger buck gets the season he needs.
  • He meets our criteria.A mature buck that fits your rules is identified with confidence.
  • That's the one we're after.The deer you've watched, documented and managed toward.

Talk to a biologist

Year-round, not just in season.

March to JuneProperty work: feeders, food plots, stands and habitat set up for the season ahead.
August to NovemberAging and inventory: every buck photographed, reviewed and sorted into pass or harvest.

No ranch required.

You don't need 10,000 acres. A few hundred, owned or leased and shared by a handful of hunters, is exactly what this is built for.

We manage this way because we owe it to the land and the animal: let deer reach maturity, look after the habitat, and give thanks for every harvest.

Talk to a biologist.

Send us a few details about your property and a Game ID biologist will reach out to you to get started.

Who it's for

Built for the people who manage deer.

Game ID isn't another GPS mapping app. It's focused on the deer themselves — identifying, evaluating, managing and recording the individual animals that make up your herd, wherever you hunt.

Hunting leases

Turn scattered trail-camera photos into an organized management system.

Manage the herd on your lease instead of hunting whatever walks by.

Farms & private land

Know what's living on your property.

Make decisions based on more than a quick look through binoculars.

Hunting clubs

Give every member the same criteria and a shared record of the herd.

Multiple hunters, multiple camps, one set of rules everyone can see.

High-fence ranches

Organize and document decisions on individual deer.

High-fence hunting operations often run specific age, genetic and harvest objectives. Game ID keeps those decisions consistent and on record.

Outfitters & guided hunts

A structured way to identify and manage the deer available to clients.

Give clients a more informed hunt while protecting the property's management goals.

Individual hunters

Better understand the deer you're seeing.

No big property required. Use Game ID on your own to make more informed harvest decisions.

Everyone on the same page.

Game ID gives each person on a property the tools that fit their role.

Club owners & managersSet and manage the rules for your property or club, and keep members aligned.
HuntersSubmit deer, read evaluations, track the bucks you're watching and record harvests.
BiologistsReview submitted deer and provide expert evaluations.

Years in the making.

Game ID wasn't built in a weekend, and it wasn't built because hunting apps got popular.

For nearly five years we've been developing, testing and refining Game ID with real hunters and real wildlife professionals — on real properties, with real deer. We've learned what works, what doesn't, and what hunters and property managers actually need to manage a herd.

We've watched it change how people hunt. When hunters have better information about the deer in front of them, they make better calls: younger bucks get the time they need to mature, and the deer that fit a property's goals get identified with confidence. We've seen mature bucks harvested after being managed through the process.

Now we're opening Game ID to hunters everywhere.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still wondering about something? Contact our team.

What is Game ID?

Game ID is a deer and wildlife management app. Hunters and property managers submit photos of deer, get them evaluated by wildlife professionals, track individual bucks over time and record harvests — building a history of the deer on their property.

Who is Game ID for?

Anyone who takes deer management seriously: hunting leases, farms and private landowners, hunting clubs, high-fence ranches, outfitters and guided hunting operations, and individual hunters.

How does deer evaluation work?

You submit one or more photos of a deer. A wildlife biologist or qualified wildlife expert reviews it and provides an evaluation that can include approximate age, antler characteristics, a score assessment where applicable, management eligibility and a harvest recommendation based on your property's criteria.

Who evaluates the deer?

Submitted deer are reviewed by wildlife biologists and qualified wildlife experts working with Game ID — not by an automated guess. Evaluations are expert opinions meant to support your decision.

Can I use Game ID on a hunting lease or my own land?

Yes. Leaseholders and landowners use Game ID to organize trail-camera photos, keep individual deer records and make harvest decisions based on the goals for their property.

Can a hunting club use Game ID?

Yes. Each club sets its own management criteria, by minimum age, antler size or both, so every member works from the same rules, with a shared record of the herd across camps. Club owners and managers control the rules; members submit deer and record harvests.

Can high-fence ranches and outfitters use Game ID?

Yes. High-fence hunting operations and outfitters use Game ID to identify, document and manage individual deer against specific age, harvest and management objectives — and to give guided clients better information.

Can Game ID help me set up and manage my property?

Yes. Through Game ID Management, a wildlife biologist can visit your property, walk it with you and map where feeders, stands and food plots belong, along with deer density and buck-to-doe numbers for your herd. Send us your property details and a biologist will reach out to you.

Can I track individual deer?

Yes. You can name the bucks you're watching, keep their photos together and see each deer's status — such as approved, pending review or on your target list.

Can multiple hunters use the same property?

Yes. Multiple hunters can belong to the same club or property, including properties with more than one camp, all working under the same management criteria.

What happens when a deer is harvested?

The hunter logs the harvest in the app with photos and details. Where your property's workflow requires it, documentation such as a jawbone photo can be included. The deer then becomes part of your harvest history and Trophy Room.

Does Game ID work with trail-camera photos?

Yes. Trail-camera photos are one of the most common ways deer are submitted. You can also use photos taken with your phone or camera.

Can I score my buck with Game ID?

Yes. Our free whitetail scoring tool calculates typical and non-typical gross and net green scores from your measurements, then creates a branded score card and full score sheet you can share. Green scores are unofficial; record-book entry requires an official measurer.

How much does Game ID cost?

Game ID is free to download. Seasonal access for hunters and clubs is available through in-app purchase; current pricing is shown in the app when you sign up.

Is Game ID available for iPhone and Android?

Yes. Game ID is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android.

Does Game ID replace hunting regulations?

No. Game ID provides information and expert opinions to support management decisions. Hunters remain responsible for following all applicable state and local hunting laws and regulations.
