It depends on the hunt. In late October last year, three of us set up a Northface 3 man tent on the shore and stashed gear for a base camp. We hiked a couple miles up and into the mountains and set up another 3 man northface tent. We proved that three guys can sleep in a 3 man tent, but we were packed in like sardines. 5 nights on the mountains with that one.
In July and August we set up three tents for our caribou hunting camp. I've gone out at night after caribou, and came back home the same day as well.
In Montana this Sept. we set up two large canvas wall tents, one for cooking and one for sleeping. It felt like the lap of luxioury! We thought about setting up a smaller tent to get out earlier in the morning, but didn't mind the mile long downhill walk in the dark.
Our old moose cabin burnt down a couple summers ago in some wildfires. It was a small cabin, but very comfortable and had heat and propane for cooking. That to me was one of the best hunting camps that I have been at. It's a shame it all burnt to the ground.
My favorite type is probably setting up tents, making a fire pit and roughing it in the middle of nowhere with a river running near by and the boat sitting idle in the water. Nothing like watching the northern lights overhead, and heading to be waiting for the next days hunt.
