A friend and I are going hunting up around Purgatory during the second season. I was planning on going archery hunting back in sept. there but I had to change my plans. I talked with several bowhunters who pointed me towards this area but I was wondering if the elk will be in the same areas now as in sept. I was planning on camping somewhere around relay creek and hunting anywhere from tin can basin/bolam pass down the hermosa drainage and from hwy 550 to hwy 145. Does anyone out there have any experience with this area during the second season? I'm not looking for any secret spots I would just like to know if the elk are in this area this time of year? You can also email me at [email protected] Thanks for any help you can give.

The Hermosa Creek drainage is very good by reputation. I actually only hunted there once 3 years ago. I hunted south of the highest point of the road that goes from Purgatory to Rico. There are definitely elk in there. We didn't get one, but a friend missed an easy shot. Most of my experience is in Unit 75 across the highway. I would expect the elk there to still be very high in the dark timber on the steep hillsides.
 
Thanks for the info Chambero. How are the roads in the area? How's unit 75? I don't have any info on that area but since it's right next to 74 I was thinking that if 74 wasn't panning out I'd head over that way and see what I could find. I tried to email you but for some reason it didn't work. Thanks for the help
