Choosing the Right Tent for Your Hunting Adventure!

By Don Korte

If you like to hunt, you're going to need a tent, but not just any one is going to do. There are many different factors that affect the way you hunt and therefore what kind of tent you're going to need. For example, what kind of weather are you going to have when you hunt? How many people are going to be hunting with you? Are you going to be hunting close to a road, or are you going to trek it out into the "back country"? Are you going to want to sleep on the ground, or will you be more comfortable on a cot?

If you are going to be hunting deep in the back country then you are faced with how you are going to get there. If you are backpacking in, then you are going to want a lightweight easy to set-up backpacking tent rated for the season you will be hunting in.

For example, if you go hunting deep in the "backcountry" and you're going to be traveling by ATV or even horse, you can choose a sturdier and therefore heavier tent o carry, because you know you're not going to have to carry it in all by yourself but will have some means of transportation.

Now Let us say you are a hunter who likes to camp in campgrounds or just off the road. Then pretty much the sky is the limit for you. You can take the big 7-12 person tent or just a 1 or 2-person tent. You can have a tent big enough for cots so you can sleep in comfort after a hard day of hunting or you can have a small lightweight tent that has easy set-up and break-down so you can always stay on the go.

When you choose your tent, make sure you get your tent from a manufacturer that's been in business for a while. A company or manufacturer that has been making tents for a long time and is still in business is going to make good quality tents that stand up to use and weather. It's true that while you'll save a little bit of money on a so-called "discount" tent, you'll be sorry in the long run because not only will you spend money on a replacement tent sooner, but you'll be uncomfortable using the tent you got if it doesn't keep you dry or has other problems because it's not well made.

Of course, another consideration when it comes to your hunting tent is that you need to get one suitable for the season you going to be hunting in. There are tents that are rated three- and four-season; in general, a four-season tent is best if you're going to be hunting in any type of cold climate. A three-season tent will be suitable if you're going to be hunting in more temperate climates such as those in Florida or Southern California.

In general, a four-season tent is a good buy overall, because it is suitable for all seasons. That means, no matter what the weather, you'll be protected and you'll stay dry and comfortable. If you're cold and wet during your hunting trek, it's not going to be any fun and you're not going to remember it fondly no matter what you do.

When you choose your hunting tent, pick a style that fits how you hunt and what you prefer, as well as one that will suit the weather you are going to be hunting in and that's big enough for you, the gear you carry, and anyone who's going to be hunting with you. After that, of course, you can consider price. Find a seller that has low price, high-quality three and four season tents, no matter the size you choose, whether it's for one person or 12 people.
