yep, rut in Vermilion parish is underway. My son hunted Sunday and heard a thunderous fight in the palmettos, but could not see a thing. I think it is delayed a little this year with the heat and late harvest moon (full moon mid October), but it's on.
LDWF website has a chart that shows breeding dates throughout the state. it is a complicated chart with all the historical deer transplants etc, but the earliest breeding starts in late September in Vermilion parish.
The 2016 Winter Wildlife Insider from LDWF had a great article on deer restocking in Louisiana, every deer hunter in the state should read up on it.
