With the buck to doe ratio being as screwed up as it is in Michigan some does don't get bred until December. At least that's what I've read from Dr. Ozaga (sp?) I've seen dinks carrying half-a-rack into March in Saginaw County. YMMV...
Secondary rut, the doe fawns will get bred then.
Pretty common.
That's beyond secondary rut. First rut here is in September, does won't stand for bucks. The major rut is late October~early November. The third rut is late December, have actually heard of a later rut (rare) in January. The fawns produced from the December/ January rut don't have a high survivability rate for their first winter. Depends on snow cover...
