About LinkBacksFly and a bivy/bug bivy are going to be your lightest option, and probably the cheapest also.
My sil nylon Cat cut tarp is huge and weighs like 500g with all guy lines. Packs down to a grapefruit size also.
A tent is probably going to be the most flexable, esp if you end up wanting to hunt the tops ect in the future. but its going to cost you a bit more money and probably weigh a little bit more. You can save on extra weight with carefull consideration to sleeping bag and pad choice also, so dont forget to factor these in.
I use my tarp and a hooped bivy for a total of about 1300g so no real weight saving there and if I did it again I would just buy a tent from the get go.
I am gunna switch to a hammock setup for my bush hunting now so should shave a bit of weight
