Well, I've tried them all. What works best for me is a lightweight 3 season FREESTANDING tent. I like some of the other ways, as in tarps, bivy's etc. but for 2 pounds, you can get a pretty good secure 3 season shelter/tent and for me, it has got to be freestanding. Terra Nova solar competition one person tent.

Have you had any trouble with heavy snow during rifle season in your lightweight 3-season tent?

6 man tipi with a wood stove or a Kifaru Super Tarp (depending on if I'm alone or the length of stay)

Nothing real heavy. If I was going where there would be a chance of that kind of a storm, I would most likely take a 4 season tent such as the hilleberg soulo. However, if it was real heavy and a bad storm, I would be beating feet outa there.
One of the reasons that I prefer a tent over anything else, you have that security of a closed shelter and if you place it right, you can eliminate a lot of the snowfall.
One of the nice things here in Idaho which is where I do most of my hunting, the snow is fairly light.

Why would you have a poll and not allow votes?

Well, I saw that written also but the poll was on the right side of the website page and it let me vote. I had to look for it though.
