Tent recommendations please

[Mlopez]

Im wanting to expand my hunting throughout NM as there are many opportunities in different parts of the state that ive never experienced. Usually i use a large tent for early season hunts such as pronghorn. Deer and Elk i usually hunt close to home but would love to hunt in other areas that arent close to home. Our hunting party is usually at least two people but sometimes could be 4-5 people. Ive been considering a couple different tents. Wondering if anybody has any pros or cons on either of these or if someone can recommend something else it would be greatly appreciated.

If we're fortunate enough to draw any tags, the tent would primarily be used during October - November for Deer and Elk, possibly August for pronghorn and possibly November - December for Aoudad.

Tents im looking at are:
White Duck Tents: no specific model
Cabelas: Alacnac tents

I bought the white duck bell tent last year. Fairly easy to set up by yourself, and plenty of room inside!

I bought a large Kodiak canvas tent about five years ago. It held up to 40 to 50 mph winds and all night drenching downpours without leaking at all. They also have a new wall tent that accommodates a wood burning stove for the best price I have seen around.

I highly recommend them

I bought a Springbar tent many years ago. That tent will last me forever. Easy to set up and lots of space. Check them out.

I have an alaknak. Its okay, some quality control issues. I saw a wall tent on Costco online. I would have bought that one if I had to do it again.

A few years ago i got a Springbar with the Stove. Great tent. help up in the rain and wind. I don't use the stove much, instead use a buddy heater. Love it. Easy to set up by yourself and plenty of room for everyone.

Once you get the hang of it, a big canvas wall tent isn’t too bad to set up. By myself I can do it in about 45 min to an hour. With one other person, it’s about half that. Well worth it though, nothing like the comfort of a wall tent with a wood burning stove. Especially late season when it’s cold. I prefer it over my camper all day long.

Yes, the regatta. The stove is just one of the big pot bellied wood stoves you can buy at Cabelas. I really like it and it sets up fairly fast, even by yourself. Lot's of room...

I got a classic Jack 140. I got this one for a few reasons. It was large enough to bring all the kids and be comfortable. It had a stove, which I don’t use anymore, so I could keep the kids warm. And most importantly I could put the tent up by myself because I knew I would get zero help from the kids.

I have a buddy looking to sell "like new" MSR Habitude 6 and a Cabelas Quad Pole Dome 4 Season Tent. Shoot me a PM if you're interested I can pass along his contact info. If he says they are "like new"; they are. Located in ABQ.

This one is a Montana Canvas.

Stay away from the cabelas brand tent. They are ok but you can do better for the money. Good canvas, Kodiak tent that you can put a stove in and stand up and move around are the way to go

I much prefer their doors, windows and overall quality.

They made me a custom 12x18 in the off-season and it does quite well with a wood stove...
