Fishing Frenzy

If you go hunting, not just any tent is going to do, because there are so many ways you can hunt. When you buy a hunting tent, you have to think of a lot of different things, such as what kind of weather you can expect to have when you hunt, or how many people are going to hunt with you and therefore are going to have to share that tent. In addition, it makes a difference if you are going to be close to roadways or if you're going to be far back in the woods. Are you going to be sleeping on the ground, or will you take cots with you?

If you're going to be hunting well off the beaten path, then you're going to have to figure out how you're going to get there. If you're walking in and taking backpacks with you, you're going to need to be able to carry your tent. Therefore, it's going to need to be lightweight and easy to set up, a so-called "backpacking" tent that's suitable for the season you're going to be hunting in.

Lets say you are going to go hunting deep in the back country and your mode of transportation is going to be by horse or ATV. Then your choice of hunting tent can change greatly because you know its not your back carrying your hunting tent and supplies.

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 very good investment regardless of where you are, because it will handle any type of weather you run into and therefore won't limit where you can hunt or when. You can hunt literally anywhere knowing that you are going to be comfortable and dry in any weather conditions nature might throw your way. If you're cold and wet during your entire hunting expedition, it's not going to be any fun.

When choosing your hunting tent pick the one that fits your hunting style and preferences, the tent that is rated for the weather you will be hunting in and is big enough for you, your gear, and all your hunting partners. Then the only thing left is to find the best deal you can. Find a place that has a great selection and a low price promise on 3 and 4-season tents from a 1-person tent to a 12-person tent.
