Does anybody have the Cabela's Big Horn™ III Tent tent? Just looking around and seeing what is out there.

Yep had it a couple years.  Used both early and late season.  Faired pretty well early season easy.  Late season worked well looking at three max on people.  I have stove and table inside with cots.  As far as dry get a little moisture build up from clothing drying but not to bad ventilates well.  Takes about fifteen minutes to set up.  In winter I throw bail of steaw under keeps floor warmer and dry.  I would reccomend it has worked well for us.
In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsman. FDR

Had a few tents.  Right now I have a standard Montana Canvas wall tent with aluminum internal frame with 5' side walls.  It is 12x14 made with white canvas top with Realite side walls.  It is a castle for two guys.  It depends on how many dudes you have hunting with you.  If you just have two guys, weight is an issue.  Some of the big heavy canvas tents are dang heavy to wrestle with after you've had a few beers.  We can set our tent up in 1/2 hour & have a fun time doing it.

To me the Big Horn looks pretty complicated.  May be easy to break or lose parts... or find parts after you've had a few beers.... 

Might want to keep that in mind when you're looking at new tents.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

That does look pretty darn nice. We are contemplating either a wall tent or small travel trailer. Both have their pros and cons.

Forgot to mention carpeting on the floor hot shower and adding this year running water.
Do want to say that it is impossible for a 1 person set up well at least a 65 yr old one person set up
