Just like the topic says although I see there is a late archery hunt in 437.

Oh man I wish!
Just a late archery season would make me happy.

Poor numbers and they are too susceptible during the rut. Puts what deer are there in peril. I wish they'd end the high buck in 418 as well.

Do you guys think the deer numbers are down because they stopped running hounds there.

Without a doubt! Lions and bears predate heavily on deer in the higher elevations. The bears really hammer fawns. Alpine hunting has increased tremendously due to exposure from social media and combined with a significant winterkill last year deer numbers are way down.

Oh and I almost forgot, you can now add wolves to the list of predators in 418 as there is now a resident pack.

Wow good ol Washington state wild life management at it's best.

Except for the islands and I-5 corridor, there hasn't been a late modern firearm season North of I-90 in many years.

And if I remember correctly, Skagitsteel has photo evidence of that....

Here ya go. Have pics of 3 different wolves back to 2015 in 418.

The area where the wolves have showed up the last 3 years has taken a drastic decline in deer numbers. I realize these things cycle but I had 12 different bucks and almst 20 does on one mountain in 2014, the same mountain had 2 bucks last fall and 2-4 does, spot had bobcat, bear, lion, a wolverine and now wolves on my cams, deer were doomed!

Its not a cycle they just kill until not much left then move on
