I used to deliver well materials, septic supplies etc. and always took Boulder Pass. If I were to hunt near Curlew I'd definitely look at a map and go to that area. Then again I don't hunt in Washington anymore so this is all advice from someone that has not touched the hunting and fishing grounds of Washington in two years.

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.

I was up there in August and July and saw plenty of deer. In August I saw over 200 head while driving around the lake and 5 3 point of betters. Mostly does and fawns with a few young bucks.

People must go in the wrong spot up there. seriously.
That, or you do something nobody else that lives here knows about, seriously. Like I've said before, I hunt everyday and never see all the deer guys say they see. I hunt private property where all the deer should be. Wanna share your secrets since I see you live out of state.

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.

I must be on drugs then................or blind or,or,or ???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.

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.

na, my one of em's a weyco mechanic and the other is a supervisor for the P.U.D
Just thought I'd ask. I hauled chips out of Weyco in Raymond in 1997 when I had trucks leased to Puget Sound Truck Lines. I haven't been down there since. I liked it down there except for the rain....
