Have you looked at Cabelas ALAKNAK tents? A 9.5X9.5 is only $549. You can later add a vestibule for muddy gear or cooking itemsandwood stove.

I haven't used it personally and I know everyone has a "my buddy" story but a pastneighbor of mine several years agohad one of these and he had high praises for it.

Or the Cabelas Big Horn tents.

i bought a wall tent from davis tent and awning in denver. 12x14 with internal frame, screen door and a window. i checked around and asked everybody i could. i even puta thread on here and everybody had great info but davis had only good reviews.

i just got back from a 9 day elk hunt with 3 guys and had room to spare. i got the tent on a monthly special the put on their website for $600 and that included shipping the window and screen door. then i bought the angles from the army surplus store and the poles from home depot and cut them myself for less than $200. it was still a lot of money but i will say probably one of the best $800 investments i have ever made.

Try Craigslist. Always something there and a lot cheaper than the stores.I've seen everything from pup tents to army command tents on there.

Cabelas does make some alaska guide model tents.

I bought a roomie dome style.....but its really a 3season tent, those cold winter days its cold, I thinka dome style would keep a bit more warm. I like the tent i have but plan to get a alaskan guide model in the future....when I need it.

I'd get the bigest model if 3 guys were planning on sleeping in it....also more height room there. Also I'd spend the money for the aluminum poles, lighter weight.

Just checked em out online.....4 6 or 8 person, which of course means like it could old that many guys but id get a 6 or 8 person for 3 men....

gives your more height inside as well, and more sq.ft.

This is what I have.....alotta room, alot of head height/room, due to the design, but not very warm in that late fall/winter season.

I would only by a Montana Canvas, we use them, and they keep the heat in and there great in the weather, not only that but in your price range

I have the Cabela's Alaskan Guide and it is wonderful. I have a Mr Heater tent heater and it gets it nice and toasty inside. I used both this past weekend here in CO and all was wonderful.
