Have used a portable garage shelter before moose hunting. We built plywood ends with stove pipe holes and doors. Brought 2 small wood stoves with us. Over the top we put a huge tarp for a second layer. It worked OK but it was cold and the humidity level inside was very high - to the point where it was damn near raining inside.

Buy a wall tent. 14x16 with 5' walls should be good enough.. Want a bit more room, 16x20 is sweet. I have both as our group got bigger so we upgraded to a larger tent (8-9 guys)
Deluxe Wall Tents gets my vote.

I want to look at a tent and split the cost. but a few of us are alittle scared of bears.... Have you had any problems with the Deluxe Wall tents??? does it keep you warm with a good stove at night??? This is what I would like to do but some of us are lazy and don't want to cut fire wood or set up a tent in the middle of the night or buy a better sleeping bag etc. I think that the bears would stay away for the most part anyway, but we will have guns and alot of bullets anyway(lol). Some of the guys want to split for a 20 to 30 foot camping trailer, but we would like to camp as far back in the bush as far possible and I don't want to dig out a 25 foot trailer because some of the logging roads are pretty bad.

Scared of bears and dont want to cut firewood/set up a tent. Sounds like a great hunting group lol
Got news for you ~ Youre more in danger in an urban setting from a home invasion then you are of a bear deciding to come through your tent while you're in it.

Bunch of city boys (I am one but do not act it!!!) that do not know/believe in hard work? If you want to be warm...get a good bag/tent and/or a fire simple as that...I cut wood at age 10, you can too!
Maybe you need to go to a animal farm for a canned hunt? Pull the large heated RV right up next to the animal and shoot it from there? Can stay warm, listen to music its easy and they will probably even dress it for you!!!

I was thinking the same thing... Scared of bears is one thing, but not wanting to cut firewood? I don’t recall going hunting once without making a fire and needing some firewood.
What he said...
But back to your question, I would recommend a wall tent, it’s the best idea. My group has an old CF Mod tent (A-Frame tent) and we haven’t had a single issue with it. We stayed 6 in it with a kitchen area. Plenty of room and heat. And if you buy the liner for it it’s even easier to keep warm.
Here is a link to another thread about Wall tents:

Here's a typical hunt camp in the wilderness. We slept warm and comfortable.
Of course, you have to get your wet clothes off and dried, but the fire reflects the heat into the shelter for pleasant eating of of a meal.
In our warm, down sleeping bags we slept like logs. Just remember to have dry kindling in the tent, to get the morning fire going.
By the way, this area was frequented with grizzly bears!

I have to say, of all the chores that come with maintaining a responsible camp, I'm always the first to throw my arm up for firewood duty. Get to walk around the woods for a bit and enjoy the surroundings, and then stretch your muscles out some by slinging an axe. It's hardly a chore.
Kinda reminds me of a Monty Python sketch:
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.
ALL:
They won't!
Either way everyone knows all you have to do to keep bears away is hang your purses outside the tent - works everytime.
