The Chewuch River is a river in the U.S. state of Washington.
Its name comes from the word /cwáx/ [čwáx] in the Columbia-Moses language meaning "creek".

The Chewuch River originates in the Cascade Range northeast of Remmel Mountain at the junction of Remmel Creek and Cathedral Creek. It flows generally south to join the Methow River at Winthrop. The Methow empties into the Columbia River. Tributaries of the Chewuch River include Andrews Creek, Lake Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Cub Creek.

There are still a few big deer but far fewer than years past.   :)

I went over for a short weekend trip in September for Archery. I did not see much on the Eastside of the Chewuch this year or last. Seen a few on the Westiside. Harvested a 2x3 Muley NE of Mazama on the last day of season. As bone addict stated, few and far between.

If you have to ask for info at this late date you didnt do proper research in the area. I would just sit 7  miles up FallsCreek Road (big open slope)as it has lots of migrating deer of the dark coat type.Settle for a younger buck after a couple day as the big ones dont seem to be around this year.Son and I took young bucks (4x4&3/2) the last wknd of the modern.There is Boulder Creek  Tripod fire area with the chance of a monster buck but buying lottery tickets work for some lucky people,too.

Thanks for all the PM's and great info.
Little about myself, I've never hunted muledeer in my life, in fact I've only shot "1" deer and it was a blacktail, I got him October 30th last year in  Cle Elum. I'm really excited about this Chewuch tag, my buddies told me to put in and I got drawn with 1 point! I'm shooting a really really nice marlin 30/30 open sights and pretty much good out to 400 yards or so. Would love to see some Chewuch bucks taken in years past if anyone has them. Thanks and God bless

Where's your proof in pictures, and the infamous Tripod buck doesn't count it was a once in a million years get lucky buck. Since then no bucks have been taken like it that I know of. :dunno:

Just don't shoot the first 190 you see. I hunted the general season near there and geez, I must have seen a half dozen hammer bucks headed that way.

Here's one I'm talking about. If he hadn't busted off both g4s, he'd be close to that upper 180s type. Might be ok for someones second buck, but not me. I've shot 3, and I was looking for a trophy.

Is it an any deer tag?  that set up you are packin should be great for headshots......I know how picky you can be with bucks and how you love really stubby compact racks with super short points like the Chewuch is famous for............get out there with your romeos and track one down like the Benoits....

Good luck if you have not already tagged out!

romeos hurt my feet when I get in and out of the truck to take a leak! Think I'm going to go old school with a pair of high top tennis shoes like Walter use to do lol.
No not tagged out yet, still waiting for that big boy to slip up. Seen like 5 or 6 in that low 170's mark but damn, thought this was a good unit!
