Looking at the seasons for GMU 245 it appears that they want them to reproduce but not get out of hand.  There isn't any season prior to October 30th and then it is an any elk any weapon season from Oct 30th to Nov 15th.

Last year there were 6 elk reported taken out of GMU 245.

i know up near conconully you hear of an elk every once in awhile... but then the game dept goes in and kills them. they don't want elk there.

There is a small herd around Winton and Merritt. I've seen a few LARGE bulls while working the train between Wenatchee and Seattle. Not a ton of elk, but there are a few.

I believe that the game department's take on it is that they want the quality mule deer to be the priority there.

Yeah i been in levenworth couple of times but never saw no elk there really wasnt looking for any, but they have this cow hunt in september i thought maybe to try it out.  See maybe i can get lucky, planning on going there and talking to a few people with land over there, because it says most of the land is private, so will see ill try, ill keep you updated if i see anything.

my mentor who's been bowhunting for 25 years drew an any bull tag up there last year and said he never got within 150 yards of an elk.

that cow hunts a joke. i was over there bear hunting and i didn't realise there was a cow season open when i headed over (don't elk hunt east) there was 10 trucks to a gate and every *censored* was on a quad or dirt bike. needless to say the elk were quite safe.
