257's daughter's buck got me to thinking (fantastic buck btw) do yall think there is a correlation between double throat patches and big racks? i swear, I rarely see an AL deer with a double throat patch, but when I do, they always seem to be in a grip & grin photo with a stud of a buck.
Correlation or coincidence?

Just means that double patch lived long enough to get grown

I have a 10 point mounted that scored 146-5/8" gross and netted 144-1/8" after 90 days drying period. He has a double white throat patch. Don't know if there is any truth to it but I was told that it is a characteristic of a Northern strain of deer that was stocked in Alabama back in the 50's. I believe the guy that told me that said they came from Michigan or Missouri, I can't remember which state he said. I have no idea if he knew what he was talking about or not. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/3xhpRNZ8/IMG-0155.jpg)

Just means that double patch lived long enough to get grown That's true of all of them. I'm just curious if the gene that causes a DTP might also typically be found in deer with superior antler genetics? If the 1:100 number is accurate, seems I see a higher rate than that of DTP bucks in grip & grins.

Both large antlers and double throat patches are a direct result from the frequent visitation to a Clorox stump.

Killed lots of deer, my best buck had double throat patch, makes an awesome mount. I understand about one in a hundred. My dad got one a few years ago. His taxidermist was excited, said he'd never done one. He said it was closer to 1/1000. But I don't have a dog in this race. I think it's old age, and they gray there first. I've got a few years on me, and have a double chin patch. 😁

Skullworks, that buck got a double dose of browtines and bases instead of double throat patch.
Is that an Alabama deer?

I’ve killed a few bucks over the years with a double throat patch. I’ve seen some does with it, as well.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Not sure I believe it is related to antler size/genetics. We have killed 4 double patch bucks that I recall, and have seen a few more. Some exceptional, some just deer.
My wife's biggest was a double patch, my 3 biggest were single.
I do tend to see more of them in Texas than other states, although one of mine was shot in South Carolina.

So, of your combined 4 largest bucks, 25% of them had DTP? Again, seems to be a substantially higher % than 1:100 or 1:1,000

If I've ever killed one with a double throat patch then ive never noticed it. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me
We will burn that bridge when we get there

It was killed in Macon County over close to Tallassee. I used to hunt in between the river and dog track. Saw a couple like that from that area. Also the area where I lost my biggest buck too. It of big deer on both sides of the river from 229 to 231
