Never really thought about this until I saw someone mention it in another post. How common is this? I've only noticed this trait on one of my bucks.

I would say 10% of mine have them. I really like them.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

While I don't think it's super common, I think it's more common than a lot of people think. I would think it probably occurs in about 5-10% of mature bucks.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to start watching for it. Does anyone know if it is passed down or does it just happen randomly?

I see it on a lot of bucks. Some are more noticeable than others but it's not all that uncommon.

This guy has a double throat patch and a white dot between the two.

Fairly common here.
Surprising how many folks never notice however.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Some of the bigger bucks I've seen on my place this year have it. Guessing it's genetic and shows with age.

You probably have a short tined 8pt running with your dagger buck that has one...and a matriarch group. Just an educated guess though.

It's in the genes. If of you see a doe with the double patch, let her walk. She's the one passing it on. We have a 6-7yr old doe on our place with a double patch, and we had a couple other doe with it 8-10 years ago. It's in that herd. Probably half the bucks we see have it.
