We have a cabin  near Republic  We were up there during archery season like we are every year. We saw more deer than we have seen in the past 3 years this yr. Most people road hunt up there, that's the issue. Pushes the deer higher up. You need to find where they have just logged.... That's a start.

I missed a big 5x5 this year on video, saw about 8 shooter bucks mostly mulies. I have hunted up there since I was 16. There was a lack of whitetails I will admit that. On our own private property where we hunt, there were seriously no deer, so we had to find them. Ended up with a doe on the last day for meat. Every year I get a shot at a 4 point or better. Got a 4x4 whitetail the yr before last.

They are for sure in that area.

These deer dont get chased that much at all! this is huge country with very few roads in some areas, not many people hunt early whitetails up here in Sept, we saw 1 rig this year hunting sept deer. A huge majority of guys who come up here with rifles are chasing the mule deer, and I would venture to say 70% of them road hunt. I was up a few times during the rifle season and people just driving everywhere all day. Most hunters dont venture 1000 yards off the roads!!  There are tons of deer up there, just one week last week  on 1 camera I ended up with 9 different bucks passing by, my dad who is 2 mi away had 6 bucks none the same that I had. I just got back and never saw a rig or a hunter in 3 days

how has the curlew hunt been for late season for archery for deer

Not many deer around here even though some guys swear there is. I went out coyote hunting this morning and didn't see any deer. Saw 3 coyotes and killed one @371 yds. with my 700 BDL 223. It's snowing right now so maybe that will help. Boulder is a good place to hunt. There is allot of timber land up there that borders private land. PM me if you want more info. Glad to help out if I can.

Was up there last week...saw 15 bucks in two days, and two that were 4x4's with eyeguards...the deer are everywhere up there right now...

lol camp meat... I don't think your any of those things. Are you going out specifically hunting for deer in your area. I cant speak for the mulies but the whitey's are there. Granted the numbers aren't as high as they are in heavy agri regions or even as high as they were 5-6 years ago. I did a good bit of dog hunting this past year with a friend in areas with much higher populations and I didn't see a lot of deer either. They just don't like something about this challenge and locator calls.

Yeah, up here we don't have much it seems. But a bud of mine got a buck with over 30" spread, muley though, and other friends and guys from school are bringing in tons of trail cam pics with huge bucks. It's all a matter of finding a honey hole. I still haven't found one for whitetail, muley yes, but i need a whitetail spot. The first snow really made the deer start moving, they were everywhere, but now they've settled back down it seems. Sucks cause i'm making my arrows as I write this so I couldn't hunt that first snow... Saw a couple 3 points and lots of does. Has anyone bagged one yet this late season?
Make every shot count cause ya might not get another.

I finally saw a doe in the woods today. Saw cougar tracks too.....that got me all worked up more than a doe.
I see deer everyday in my yard, but the 6x6 only shows up at night.  >:( >:(

I got some buddies that just got back from curlew and they said they hardly seen any deer. It wasa full moon though so that probably had something  to do with it.

I ran into 2 guys that are from Willipa Bay today. They were up near Wauconda bow hunting. Maybe you know them. They're a couple of commercial electricians.
