2nd Rut??
I know the rut here in Canada has just kicked in, but can anyone tell me if there is a 2nd rut in December.Is it natures way of making sure that if there were Does that were not impregnated the first time around,then they would have a second chance a month later?Here in southern Ontario, Canada,the Buck/Doe ratio is probably 1:8 so I can't imagine those Bucks being able to "Get around" that much.Any thoughts? Thanx, Steve.

RE: 2nd Rut??
In Minnesota 6 month old fawns breed in December. That's the case in most northern areas, especially if the buck:doe ratio is way out of wack. Take a look at the MN Conception Dates Graph on my website, it should help explain breeding during the rut.
During Dr. Marchinton's study they found that does recycled from 21-30 days, with an average of 26 days. One doe came into esturs 7 times, the last time would have been in April.

It isn't exactly a "2nd rut". The bucks are in rut depending where you are , from mid to late October thru January. Their in rut the whole time , it's like TR said , their after the late breeders.
