Default Tent hunts

Normally we can drive into our hunting area with our trucks but this year it looks like the road has been gaited and atv only is allowed . 10km in every day is just to much to get into our area ,so it looks like tenting this year.
How many others are tenting this year , because of the roads that are closed.

Will be a wall tent for September northern moose camp again. Yay!!!

We can drive into November whitetail camp but wouldn’t consider using anything but wall tent there.
Fuel for heat readily available. Wet clothing dries overnight. More room than a camper for sure.
What’s not to like? The more I use mine in a year, the happier I am.

Nothing like being in a tent and hearing elk bugle or wolves howl.

My moose camp is aprox 15 k from the nearest road. Even though it is in an atv anytime zone, it sure is nice to be off the beaten path and walk from the tent or beat the rush and get to your spot first. Nothing better than a crackling wood stove and a wall tent.

Or bull moose grunting outside the tent in the middle of the night. Had that happen to us once a few years back, of course no one had a moose tag to go after him the next morning....lol

We run a 12x14 for sleeping and cooking then a 10x12 for parking quads in with a wood stove to warm them up and dry clothes in, have put horses in it as well over the years, it’s hard work for a camp set but wouldn’t do it any other way! Kill something or not it’s always an adventure.

We use our 16x20 every fall, and on our ice fishing trip. Made a floor with 10 sheets of 38" plywood and some 2x4 for framing. Used it in -40 last year for ice fishing. Nice and cozy
