RE: No throat patch????
That's interesting...I notice unusual things about the deer I see/skin out all the time. I mounted a buck last night that had a really blonde forehead, it was so pretty. A button buck Iskinned out this season had a lot of extra white on the nose, so I saved the cape. I shot a doe this rifle season with a really black tail....She was a normal deer but the top of her tail was almost jet black.
Deer are like people, every one is different.
