Saw a nice 3x3 town deer with his nose to the ground sniffing for someone last night.

In my experience, the does around here come into heat the first or second week of November.

I know if they aren't successfully bred, they'll come in again 28 days later. So that WOULD have the "2nd rut" happening right now.

We had what was clearly the second rut early last week where i hunt in shelton.  Fawns are back with does and no visible rut activity since mid week last week.  Just my observation from my hunting areas
