Txhunter58,
Some of the most hellacious rain/hail storms I' ve been in have been during early elk season -- so I put a high priority on staying dry! If you are hunting later then snow may become an issue BUT you will NOT get a decent four season tent in your stated budget.

My first pre-requisite for a non-wall type tent is that it has a good " tub" in the bottom of it that comes a fair distance up the sides -- looking at the picture in my trusty Cabelas catalog, I' d say it does okay. Second pre-requisite is a rain fly that goes down nearly to the ground and at a minimum overlaps the top of the " tub" by a goodly margin -- rain doesn' t always come straight down -- what if it is flying sideways? Looking at the picture you are okay EXCEPT on the door end -- a good thunderhead could put a fair batch of water into your tent. I see they have a vestibule add-on that could take care of that weakness for $24.99 plus it gives you more storage space and lets you seperate wet and dry - I highly recommend it.

Any tent is a better tent if it is under a tarp!
