Tent recommendations for winter Elk hunt?

[Scott Gags]

I am going on a hunt this fall in the 3rd season in Colorado at approx 8000 feet above sea level. Trying to find an decent tent under $200.00 that is rated tosleep 3-4 people.

I would PM a mod, and ask them what forum this goes in. This is the classifieds, you wont get much response here. This is where you sell and buy stuff.

Cabela's has some good tents.

A gp small military tent will sleep 6 xl cots and you can get one from an army surplus store or via the internet for around $500. I love our tent but you need to find one close by. Shipping could be expensive, the tent weighs in at 225lbs. If you buy one try to find one with the teloscopic(colapsible) poles. This is a 17.5X17.5 octagon tent with 2 doors, 6roof vents, and a stove jack.The tent roof stands 10'6" in the center and 5'6" at the outside edge. We sleep four in our tent and have plenty of room to cook and store gear. If you experience bad weather sitting crouched in a small tent it's no fun and can ruin a trip. Spraying the tent down with a water sealer like thompson's will make it last a lot longer. A lot of the surplus stuff will have holes in it, but don't worry a little coumpound cement and a small peice of canvas will repair just about any tears or holes you have.You can also get a liner for it if you'll be in extreme cold weather. If it's good enouigh for the military it's good enough for me.

I saw someone selling a Cabelas Bighorn II Tent online and it was used only one season. The tent is around 5-600 bucks you can see it online at Cabelas. This guy was selling it for 300, it came with a floor and all. Great tent that you can put a woodburner in. Hes located in NW Iowa so im not sure what shipping would cost. I know if i didnt own a wall tent already I would be jumping on this. Anyone looking for one PM me and I can give you his contact info and he has pictures.
