2nd rut?

RE: 2nd rut?
I have heard that it depends on the deer in the area where you are hunting. If there are a lot more does then there are bucks, some of the does wont get bread their first time around so they will go into a second estrous cycle. If you have a good buck to doe ratio you probably wont experience much of a "second rut"

Not only will mature does that didn't get bred in the first rut come into heat 28 days later, but female fawns over 85 lbs. will also come into heat during the 2nd rut, which is in the middle of December, north of Tennessee.

You don't believe in a 2nd rut, because it is just some does who did''t get bred the first time around?
If you don't mind, please define the 1st rut then.

I think hes saying that does wont come into heat again if they have already been bread once. Therefor not eveyone will notice or experience a second rut
