A 2nd rut? ppppfffff Hell, we didn'teven havea first rut!
At least in my area of SE Pa.[&o]
I still have my Pa buck tag, and it ain't over till the fat lady sings.
The rut that happened here in Illinois was very slight in my area. It has always seemed to me that in December, there will be a few young does that will be ready to breed.If you find one of these does at this time youcan be sure that she is probably going to bring a buck by you.
