As far as i know it ends today. I went out today and didnt see much but i was just looking for fun. i heard two shots in the upper skagit valley.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I feel your pain. I was off the 27-30th, hunted each day, crappy weather and all.
I was a little discouraged to wake up this morning(for work) and see the wonderfull deer hunting weather... :'(

Hopefully this weather holds through late buck.

Hope we get some good weather for the late season. Heading down to CF or somewhere close. Still haven't pinned it down. Might head out scouting Monday

Well the rain never showed until just before dark. Total for the day was one doe just after noon and then three more just before dark in the rain. Also one grouse and one rabbit. No shots fired and not even a buck spotted. Maybe in the morning.

I was scouting and checking my cameras this late afternoon till dark.  I was out in that downpour in CF.  Perfect!!  Got a bunch of new rub photos and located a couple good stand sites.  Didn't see any deer but I was not wearing a raingear so I beat feet out of there and got absolutely drenched to the bone.  Felt good to be out though.  Got a load of great pics to boot!

I saw a guy riding up Delphi Road on a quad with a rifle slung over his back.  Anyone on here?  Anyone know him?  Figured he was bear hunting or had a special tag.  Hope he wasn't poaching.  He was wearing and orange vest so I didn't think that was the case.

Could have been hunting elk.

We were up in the CF this evening in the rain as well. We only managed to jump one deer. Oh, I did get spooked by a couple grouse and found a two point shed.

Cool on finding the shed. 

I only saw one buck all of General Season.  Glad I pulled the trigger.

Checked a couple cams yesterday up there.  No daytime photos.   :dunno:  The good news is that some of the tarsals are gettin stinky!  I started seeing the tarsals gettin ripe on the 7th.  So they are comin in good, right about now.  Good luck tomorrow.

Last thursday coming home after dark and low and behold there is Mr. Big in my driveway. Nice symetrical 4x4 with a 16 inch spread. If he is hanging around on the 20th I think he will be the recipient of the pointy end of one of my arrows. I can't wait! :bash: :bash: :bash:

Been a nice group of does and one other smaller buck hanging around too.

Well today is actually the last day and we won't be going out.  :bash:
While I have the day off, he wasn't able to get out of work. We were looking for a 3 point or better and we didn't see anything larger then some small two points. It has been a pretty tough year for me with the BT's. I hope late buck brings better luck.

My buddy was up there today Grouse hunting and he only saw one butt end of a deer. I have yet to see a deer up there this year when I was archery hunting.

I'm taking my cousin up there tomorrow (I hunt archery), so she can try and connect with her first deer (this is her first year hunting). She'll be happy with anything that has horns.  :) Not sure where I'm gonna head to yet, but if you see a gray chevy say hi.
