LDWF needs move deer and duck hunting season dates 30 days later.

We need as hunters to advocate moving hunting seasons 30 days later and ending 30 days later than current dates.
One example is moving archery deer to Nov 1 - Feb 28 etc. Our normal hunting weather conditions are occurring 1 month later now days. Our Oct weather we used to have now is in Nov. LDWF could still keep dove season in Sept to co-exist with corn harvesting, but start other seasons 30 days later and end them 30 days later. We are now just getting our coldest weather and deer and duck season are nearly over.

Once again, LDWF has no control over DUCKS!
You need to contact USFW and make them aware of your concerns about season start and end dates.

Maybe in your area, but Deer in some areas would have already bred if you postpone it 30 days
And for ducks that would be bad. Pair bonds would be broken up
There are wood ducks starting to nest right now in some places

With deer tags, one could still take does early season, and validate one's buck only tags later days.
I just know something needs to be done.

If you can’t kill 6 deer with the current season I don’t know what to tell you.

How well are those foodplots doing planted in Oct or later in Nov helping the deer herds. Mine went to shite. We are on the road to state-wide banning on feeding wih CWD.

You should protest in person at the following address
2000 Quail Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808
Something has to be done about this

Those mother frickers are easy to decoy in Feb I’ll give you that.
Posted on 1/17/24 at 11:22 am to boudinman
you may want to go back and actually compare weather data... because despite the climate change alarmists it's not much different that 80s or 90s. even the 70s

There are 120 days to hunt deer everywhere in Louisiana. 1/3 of the year. If you can’t do whatever it is you need to do in that timeframe, it’s on you

As someone who hunts in area 9 in St. Mary parish. We barely have rifle season during the rut. I always say rifle should start on Dec 15 or later and open until Feb 15th. All of our doe days I still have spotted fawns and does full of milk and nursing due to our deer breeding so late. It isnt just my property either it is everyone around us. I say rifle until Feb 15th then archery until last day of Feb would be perfect.

Archery only deer season would be much better in Nov than Dec.

I hunt Area 7 in st mary parish. Our bow season started Sept 16. Hot, humid and millions of mosquitoes aint my or anyone I know, idea of a good time. Our gun season starts Oct 15 or so. Again, its hot and humid and buggy for at least a month. And out gun season ends Dec 31 while bow season ended Jan 15. Literally a mile across the Atchafalaya river is area 9. Their gun season goes from around Nov 20 - Jan 20 and bow extends until at least the end of January. We been pleading with the folks in baton rouge to be more like Area 9. Give me less days but better conditions 100% of the time.

It amazes me that people think seasons should be set so they can maximize kills. But don’t think if that was the case then populations would get worse.

If you look at the estimated deer breeding season for any of our deer areas they coincide almost perfectly with to maximize your time afield for
The rut
Deer in st mary parish are primarily marsh deer and Will rut earlier than the bottomland hardwood deer along major rivers
If you start the season a month later in st mary parish you are missing out on the rut

Deer season is based on rut and subsequently fawns being self sustainable.
Also, in many parts of the state, bucks start losing antlers late Feb
Now as for ducks? I agree however it’s a federal issue and since the feds are most interested in stifling its citizens I wouldn’t expect any relief

I’m not a believer in manmade climate change, but am old enough to know that we’ve been in a warming trend for awhile now.
As a child in the early 70’s, frozen mud puddles were commonplace in the mornings. I seldom see that any longer.
