Whitetail Playbook: You may be curious as to what exactly the second rut is. The second rut is when fawns or does who did not get bred during the primary rut come into estrus. The fawns are a month older than when the primary rut occurred and often have the first estrus cycle between the beginning to mid-December. At the same time, does who did not get bred during their first estrus cycle in November go into estrus again 28 days later. In most of the country, the rut is in full swing during the second and third week of November. To explain in better, a doe who was in estrus the fifteenth of November that was not bred during that period would be scheduled to go into estrus again on the thirteenth of December.

Whitetail PlayBook Fact-
I know every situation is going to be different, deer density, hunting pressure, etc. But if you're in an area where a buck has these "focul points" with a lot of does, that buck probably isn't going to go anywhere far. If an area has low deer density and high hunting pressure, bucks will have to travel a lot more in searching and good luck in getting a pattern on that... but the older bucks will know the key locations the does go to get away from people and other bucks. So again, hunt the does I assume.

One could say they are the l...
