LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-16 AT 06:15PM (MST)[p]I know it's spendy but you may want to look into a Hilleberg model of some kind? Most of the Hillebergs are bomberproof. You usually get what you pay for in tents and it doesn't get much better quality..and higher price!
I bought an almost new Nallo 3 GT on Craigslist I used this year in Alaska and it was excellent. The Nallos have a giant vestibule for storing gear, cooking, etc. If you are hunting in rain or snow it certainly is good having the extra room to store your gear and dry things out. It is a 4 season tent and can withstand pretty much hurricane winds (which I have encountered). I believe my Nallo 3 GT only weighs around 7 lbs. The other nice thing about the Nallos is if it is going to be warm and dry you can use the poles with just the outer fly. I've done this quite a few times for ultra-light backpacking and still having gobs of room in under the tent fly/vestibule. I would have to double-check but believe my Nallo fly setup weighs only around 3 lbs. If I want a super light floor with my fly I'll add painters plastic.
The only bad thing I've found with the Nallos are they only have one vent on the one side. The vestibule doors open up on each side so there is plenty of air that flows through if it's not raining/snowing. If it rains for days it sometimes stinks for ventillation Hilleberg came out with a new lighter version of the Nallo that is even lighter weight but the fly doesn't cover the tent to the bottom. It would likely work fine in Arizona or elsewhere where it is fairly dry but not a very good idea for farther north.
Anyway, that may get you started. I would possibly take a look at some of the better brand 4 season tents and possibly find an almost new one on craigslist/ebay or possibly on the classified section of this or ROkslide websites. If you use a tent a lot you may regret not paying a little more for a super quality tent that will last a lifetime!
