Howdy, I used to hunt Mule dear and Elk in Colorado , have just been tied up with life the last 20 years, but my old passion has come back to life, I am planning a Elk hunt in Oct , I have been searching for a new tent, and have narrowed it down to either a 12 x 12 Alaknak or a 12 x 14 Davis wall tent, but if any of you can steer me in the right direction on here I would appreciate it, Thanks for having me .

Welcome to the forum! Our family is looking for a new tent as well and we decided to get the Alaknak, just haven't made the purchase yet. Should be getting it soon though

Welcome! Had a Davis and loved it! The only reason I don't have it any more is a gal I went to school with makes custom tents and she made me exactly what I wanted for a price you can't beat. Go with the Davis you won't be disappointed.

I have the Alaknak, it is a real nice tent. But there is something about a canvas wall tent that makes me smile. I know either use my camper or my backpacking tarp. As soon as go_deep put his tent up for sale, I almost got in my truck to drive to Cheyenne that morning. But a little voice in my head said "you don't need it" it's crazy how that voice in my head sounds like my wife.

welcome to the forum, i just ordered a 12x14 wall tent and four dog stove from davis tents last week. Chris davis was a super great guy to work with and was very reasonable also i thought.

Thanks for the welcomes, curious to know Retterath which floor you ordered and everything else, windows, rain fly or no.
I just watched on the sportsman ch Prize fighters Sports Hunting 2015 Moose hunting in British Columbia, wow talk about getting your blood hot for the back country, watch if you get the chance.
