A buddy just bought a 14 x 16 tent last week from Davis tent and really likes it so far. It replaces his old 14 x 16 that a mouse chewed through in his storage area.
We bought our tents from Walltentshop.com in Idaho and we've been very happy with them. We bought one of the cheaper Wilderness tents- not the Montana modes he offers. We have a 14 x 16 main tent and a 10 x 12 cook tent. We've slept from 2 - 5 people in the main tent and we usually set up a nice folding 3 x 6 table in the main tent to eat at ($39 at BiMart)Even bought a set of metal folding chairs for around the table so we can be comfortable while eating, playing cards, or just BS'ing in the evening.
We use a roll of carpet for the floor in the tent. Nothing like getting up in the night and having a warm floor to put your feet on. You can buy a large enough carpet remnant almost anywhere pretty cheap.
This is the stove we bought and it works fine with out tent-

The cook tent keeps all of our cooking supplies, food, water, and utensils out of our main tent and organized in one spot. Keeps the main tent more organized and cleaner and keeps the cooking smells and moisture out of the main tent.
If you are bow hunting in Oregon, you will be pretty early in the season so it can get pretty hot. Best to have as many windows as you can so you can get air circulation in the tent to cool it off during the day. Also, get the screen door at the main entrance so you can flip back the canvas door and let air in the tent and keep the bugs out.
Definitely get a fly to protect the tent from UV decaying the canvas. If possible, get the fly from the tent outfit so the cut out for the tent stove hole matches the tent hole and it will fit the tent.
Definitely spring for the frame angles and build a frame. Best decision I've ever made. Makes setting up the tent and taking it down a piece of cake and makes the tent much more stable in a high wind and heavy snow.
Get the fly or tent with the awning option if you like to sit outside the tent. It will keep the rain and sun off you while you sit outside and relax and you can store things under the awning like dry firewood, etc...
For out cook tent, we bought the best Cabela's camp kitchen they had along with a couple of the hanging canvas storage and it has worked great. Of course, we are set up to cook for up to 7-8 guys so your set up may not need to be as elaborate.
Haven't gotten a camp shower yet, but Saddlesore's idea is a great one and we may have to try that this year.
If I can find some pics of our camp set up I'll post them.
Where in Oregon are you?
