One example is moving archery deer to Nov 1 - Feb 28 etc. Our normal hunting weather conditions are occurring 1 month later now days.


In some areas like the southwestern part of the state, the rut is in early/mid October. You want those poor guys to skip their rut?

It does make sense in other areas like in the Atchafalaya that rut in late January/early Feb.

I think the seasons are pretty spot on for deer in the given areas, maybe there could be some advocating for certain areas moving dates around, but for where I hunt and have hunted it’s great.

I’m not a fan of the state putting more restrictions on hunting limits. I’d rather see a similar model to Mississippi with antler restriction, and eliminating doe days, if that drops the total to 5 deer(2 bucks, 2 does, 1 either) I could live with that. Personally, I’ve never shot 4 deer in a season in Louisiana, in my life, but I don’t want to give up the ability.

It definitely takes a special kind of person to hunt those webfooted marsh deer on a chenier with Roseau cane over your head, but if you’re not happy with how the season aligns with the weather or the rut, you can travel.
