I would think you'd want blast every doe you ran across for 5 years on a wide spread level, then stock and use that strategy if your intent was to make a major shift. Otherwise, you'd end up with a much less defined rut... which is what some places seem to deal with already..... it's a rabbit hole of speculation man.
If you only had 25 does going hot in the middle of Macon Co in late November I’m guessing you would have a pretty tight and intense November rut with or without the other does……lol!.....How many bucks do you think would be on those 25 does? ...You know actually I’m pretty sure I saw a really similar thing play out one year on the back end as I had a couple does that must have been the very last ones around hot.
Got ya, I was under the impression you were talking about a complete rut shift. But yes you should certainly be able to create an intense window if you kept those does within a certain area. In theory.
That's why late rut, or 2nd cycle is my favorite time to hunt if I could choose any two weeks, it would be on the back end. The older bucks, if they slip up, that will be the time. Same principle without transplanted deer.
