Almost no elk north and east of Leavenworth, few elk west of leavenworth
Why do you think that is? The country looks good. I would figure the some of the Colokum herd would move around up in there.

There is an any weapon, any elk season in the GMUs north of Highway 2, intended to minimize elk.Almost no elk north and east of Leavenworth, few elk west of leavenworth

Does the dept of F&W not want them to establish there? Most of the orchards are to the south if I remember right.
I would be curious to hear the game department's take on it.
I believe that the game department's take on it is that they want the quality mule deer to be the priority there.

The only place around Leavenworth I have ever seen any elk was up on Blewett Pass, South of Leavenworth on 97.
On one of my early summer camping trips up there a few years back, top of the pass going towards Tronson meadows I found all kinds of Elk skeletons, I think more than a few had been butchered there. I've seen some huge Bulls East of there in the Table Mt. area, whole lotta young ones.
Never seen Elk near Leavenworth, a few Masons though... :chuckle:

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

First of all. that was plural and you can only legally obtain 1 elk per season unless you get a second elk tag.
so i didnt shoot anything, never said i did hotshot, theres elk up there and is a controll hunt. So what, people hunt it, just like theres people swamped in the colockum for elk, yeah theres lots of sportsmen and we all want to lay our hands on a trophy no matter what it is.
I still dont see how im a *censored*, explain, shoot me a PM if your embarrassed and dont wanna turn red infront of everyone.

well anyone up behind that gate on a quad or dirt bike would be a *censored*. that's how. not saying you were but if indeed you were than well you were being a dumb ass. its a 4 mile walk and you can hear the quads at the gate from the top.so I'm sure the elk can.how did you know i was a hotshot?

I wouldn't waste my time hunting elk near Leavenworth. Much better places and elk in other areas. Needle in a haystack
True, unless you know someone who owns property in the area that is frequented by the herd. Which alanger just might.

Here's the gate to go in from.
This hunt is tricky, gotta be able to have a great vantage point with the elks.

That's where I seen the Elk when I was over there a couple of years ago, off Camas Creek Rd. I actually saw them on the 7200 road, about 2 miles from the "Y" where you pass through the "no shooting zone."
yeah, theres elk roaming
