License.

Oh yea, the keys to my truck too....

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

But seriously, I'd have to say my Niff-T-Seat unless I'm for sure gonna be hunting out of a tree.

I hate being without a knife but I wouldn't go back to get it.  A broadhead or broken rock can gut a deer.

A compass and map is required in wild places but I live in Indiana.

Honestly, there is nothing I would turn around for assuming bow, wallet (tag, license, and credit card) and proper clothing were with me.

My goal in life has become not to get more, but to learn how to need less.
Take a kid hunting!

Nothing.  

Sure there are some things of convenience I like to have/wish I have etc., but if I have my bow, arrows, glove, I will not turn around or stop my hunt for nothing.  

I am surprised by some of the answers...you mean you cannot make it 2-4 without a drink, chew or a knife? Seriously?

Seriously...I take a ton of stuff in my pack but I wouldn't go back home if I left it behind. As long as I have my bow and arrows, I'm good to go...BUT the one thing outside my "weapons of mass destruction" that I really, really, really like to have with me is a watch...really.

If I have my bow and arrows I'm not going back.  Thanks Biggie, I knew there was something missing in my new Arrowmaster. Gotta have the T.P.
