How long does the blacktail rut last? Is it over, or is the second rut kicking in? Thanks Ty

Best I can describe it.
Does come into heat late Late October to early November. They are in heat for about three days and if not bred (lots to do with hunting pressure or Buck to Doe ratio) they will come back into a cycle 28 days later... around Thanksgiving. I have seen bucks looking for does into mid and late December... maybe hoping to find one last lady that is receptive before they have to go another full year to get lucky.
That is as I know it and if anyone knows better please chime in.
Thanks
Rob
