If the mesa type country you are referring to is in Northwest Colorado, proceed with caution. If you aren't well versed in topo maps, you may not understand the magnitude of those canyons and mesas. Huge area and you'll drop a million pins while escouting just to show up and find out you aren't...
I buy the nicest of whatever I need the first time around. My wife is extremely understanding and hunting is really the only hobby I invest so much time and money into. As long as the family and home is taken care of, I have no budget, but stay within my means. If something is more expensive...
Stone glacier Sky Air. Like a bive, but you can breath, vestibule, and just all around better. Lightweight and takes up little space. Inner on bottom, tent and vestibule on top. Also super easy to setup with sticks if you want to leave it up and take your tracking poles
Last season, brake booster went out. Year before U joint went out on front driveline on the mountain. Had to rebuild the transfer case two days before leaving last year. Every year it's something else. Been time to get a new truck for a few years, buy not in this market!

If you can find a cabelas Alaknak 12×12, I'd go that direction. Picked up a brand new one on Facebook marketplace for $150 and it's solid. Can set up by myself in 15-20 minutes, and bucks wind and snow like a champ.

Brand new with all original contents. Not a scratch on it and has never been in the field. Looking to swap to an Aziak backcountry and LP pan head, would do partial trades for either of those items. Asking $240tyd obo
