However, the exact timing can vary slightly depending on factors like:
* Weather: A mild fall can delay the rut, while a cold snap can bring it on earlier.
* Deer population density: Higher deer populations may lead to a shorter and more intense rut.
* Elevation: Rutting activity may begin slightly earlier at higher elevations.
It's best to consult with local wildlife biologists or experienced hunters in your area for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the rutting season in Vermont.
