Double patch????

[Pugsley]

What is the deal with having double white patches on a deer? age? Out of all my mounts I have one big guy with a double patch. The rug guy came over to replace the rug and said wow a double patch. I didn't even notice until he said it.

Age or genetics? I vote for latter.....

Thanks. I didn't think it meant anything, but the guy installing my rug was all excited. I guess it doesn't take much with him.

Is your head warmer with the new toupee ?

I'd say its definitely not an age indicator.

Here's a shot of a button buck I took 2 falls ago with a dbl throat patch. It made him easy to identify from the rest of the seasons yearlings, and would have made him easy to follow along with when he grew his first antlers, but I never saw him after that season.
