If you can get access you'll be fine as that's the hard part of the hunt. Glass the south and east side of Silver from the road early in the morning and late at night about a week before the hunt starts to see what the rams are doing and don't set up camp until the night before the opener. Pack water throughout the summer up to your chosen campsite, but DO NOT try to look for the sheep while on the mountain in the summer or you run the risk of pushing them off. Try to hook up with the other tag holder so it's not combat hunting as the mountain is tiny comparably speaking. We did it with the other tag holder and filled both tags opening morning on great mid 170 rams out of the same band. Pray that this doesn't shape up to be a severe drought year otherwise you'll REALLY struggle to find a living creature on the public land. Take more pictures than what you think, have a great time, and go to the Dog Bar in Cuchara at least once.

Don't forget there are two different types of horn configurations on that mountain. One's like my dad's where they go straight up and the other's fall straight back off the head. The other tag holders ram fell into the second category. It's a matter of preference if you're into that sort of thing. The one's like my dads rarely go full curl, and the others are more classic full. The highest scoring rams are more like whats pictured here.
