Which tent ?

[Huntin Hard]

I've narrowed it down to these 2 tents for my hunt. I'm headed next year first time for a DIY elk hunt. I'm either going to Idaho or Wyoming in September. I've narrowed it down to a Hilleberg Nallo 2 or the Big Agnes Flumy Creek UL2. I know there's a big price difference in them and I have no problem paying for quality if it's worth it.

These shelters are vastly different. What time of year are you planning to go?

Yeah, I was kinda wondering how you "narrowed" it down to those two options.

September I'm planning on it. But have plans of hunting Alaska in the next 2-3 years.

Then might as well go with the Hilleberg. I have a UL tent, but I only use it for summer and early deer season. For goat, winter, or multi-day, I go with my bomber tent and don't worry about what comes my way. Not that a UL can't work here in the winter or under bad conditions, but I'll save weight somewhere else and my heavier tent is still just over 5 lbs. I don't scrimp on shelter.
