I am going to be setting up and hunting out of a base camp on the family ranch. No usable buildings on the place, so tent city it is.

I am having a tough time deciding between the wall tent shop wilderness, and the selkirk spike tent.
I like the built in floor of the selkirk, as the ranch is located in South Central South Dakota, rattle snake country.
Times of use: Some summer, mostly the last two weeks of November through the first week of December.
I'm not expecting mountain level snow fall.

Temps: I have seen 40F clear down to 10F in those time periods.

I won't be packing anything in, straight vehicle camping.
Usually just me and the dog, wife may join sometimes

I considered the pyramid range tent, but me and a cot will fill it quick I think.

Will be hot tenting, considering a pellet stove just for the longer burn time.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
