I'm looking into buying one of those Tipi Tents, anyone have any thoughts or own one?

I've hunted in one of those several times, and we use them for our kids's wilderness camps. They are great but keep in mind: they have a lot of dead space near the tops, so when its cold and you are trying to heat it, it's worth it putting in a 'false ceiling' to keep the warm air down where it belongs; secondly, they are hard to erect with the tarp nice and tight when the ground isn't perfectly level, so make sure the version you have has a generous skirt at the bottom that can cover these gaps. And if your model doesn't collapse, they can be a bit of a pain to haul around at 20+ feet overall length.

How do you hunt inside a tent?

This is another example of a thread in the wrong section. Come on guys please make an effort to post the threads in the right sections. This a hunting gear related question not a mainland hunting question. So I'm moving it to the hunting gear section.
