I'm planning on a motel, hotel, back of truck, 12x16 wall tent and one man tent and a couple of day trips from home this season.  Busy.

Backpack tent/wall tent/house/house/wall tent.
That'll be my plan.

It has changed over the years.  Roughly every year actually. One year was a 27' fifth wheel that only the stove worked. Next year was an enclosed cargo trailer that worked surprisingly well.  Next year was an old military style wall tent. Then an old 15' trailer with nothing but a stove. Now it's either with my buddy in his 17' travel trailer or this year with my old man and his 27' travel trailer.  We have definitely upgraded over the years.

Probably in an area with some masher ticks and mosquitoes.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Two likely places.  First is my bed at home and then driving 25 minutes to some private property.  The other is a bed at my parent's place at the coast.  Definitely roughing it either way!

Historically, we've always hunted out of a wall tent, but this season we're going to start bivy hunting in our area... Hoping to cut some time traveling in and out of the absolute jungle that we hunt on the westside... This will also afford us the ability to go deeper and not worry about having enough time to make our way out before dark.

Mount Margaret Backcountry for me this year.  Usually its a wall tent base camp in the Siouxon for my posse.  I'm used to the deep dark woods, so the high country will be a bit of a change.

I change it up very year. My brother usually cancels on me last minute every year! If he actually makes it we'll be base camping in a small tent with day trips out the locked gates everyday. If/when he cancels and I'm solo yet another year, I usually just set my cot up in front of the gate I'm parked at under the stars and hit it in the morning. I may head up into a wilderness area for deer this year, probably a quick 3 day hunt with camp on my back and just plop down where ever I am once it gets dark.. I like those hunts better than the logging roads... The girl doesn't like my solo trips into the back country so I try and keep them short. Makes life much better at home that way! Couple months to go!! I can't wait!!!! COME ON SEPTEMBER!!!!
